New page

The <strong>hardanger d'amore</strong> is a 10-string bowed instrument made by [[Salve Håkedal]].

The hardanger d'amore was first commissioned by [[Dan Trueman]], who had a vision for a [[hardanger]]-like instrument with an extra low string, in the [[Setesdal]] style, designed to be played at A440, as opposed to tuning this string up to a Bb, B or C, as is common with the [[hardanger]] fiddle.

Five of the ten strings are bowed, while the remaining five strings function as resonant sympathetic strings.

 <blockquote>
 Dan Trueman saw a 5-string Setesdalsfele I made for Vidar Lande. That fiddle had the shape of a normal Setesdalsfele, except that the body was broader. Dan wanted me to make something similar, but with a fatter sound. And it had to be suitable for playing comfortably along with violins..

 The result was this fiddle. The body is broader and longer than a 4-string Setesdalsfele, and the string length is like a violin. It can be tuned in A, with normal Hardanger fiddle strings. Or thin violin strings may be used.
