Fanten - fiddle tune from Setesdal, Norway

[Aasmundar]

Fantastic Harding fiddle Humlekuk :) Keep going!!

[hummingfrog]

Why do you hold the fiddle against your chest instead of under your chin?

I've heard that some traditional fiddlers play that way, but I've never actually seen it done. It looks kind of awkward, and it seems like it would be harder to reach the strings! Were you taught that way, or did you just decide it worked better for you?

[hardingfele1]

Nice! Are from Norway?

[bosniac17]

that was really nice, makes me want to learn it on my normal fiddle!

[LarsPrillaman]

do you call an irish person norwegian? you call a german norwegian? no, they have some norwegian blood but they are not norwegian.

[bleydadr]

@Kamissick He is not American.

[sociogenetics]

@Kamissick Fail.

[eremag]

@MorkaGraven Don't mind Kamissick he is a dick and nobody likes him. That's why he vomits his insecurities all over youtube. Web trolls are international. Keep the tradition alive mate! Kamissick certainly aint.

Nice nick btw...

[Sp1kerPistol]

They actually used the Hardanger fiddle in the Rohan theme (Rohirrim) in Lord of the Rings. That's cool !

[RetardedxVideo]

[griegs2001]

Great music nicely played. I also like the way you use your legs.

You held the fiddle almost like "Myllarguten" did.

[Hardingfiddlenoob]

fint spel

[greenplantnorth]

i got a fiddle like that from my dad, but i don't know how to tune it. can anybody help me?

[AleXzorZ]

There are lots of different tunings for the hardanger fiddle.

The most common is this one :

upper strings (the strings you play, from low to high): A1-D2-A2-E3

harmonic strings (lower strings, low to high): D2-E2-F#2-A2

Hope this helps!

[greenplantnorth]

i figured it out, but thanks alot

[otoevst]

It looks just like a normal violin (except from the amount of strings). Where is all the decoration and carving?

[humlekuk]

On my other fiddle ;)

[Vitisaurio]

@humlekuk

Question: shouldn't the F carved in a different way than the violin F's??

[humlekuk]

@Vitisaurio On a real hardingfele, yes. This is a modified violin - it has a shorter neck and understrings, just like a hardingfele, otherwise it's a violin. One of these days I'll make a new video with my other fiddle ;)

[MatizesMusic]

@Vitisaurio I like so much you sound guy.... wow..... congratulations...

[busgasexplosion]
