@RoraTailor I think you mean the "bridge" & not the entire violin, for you can't custom-make a Strad. Anyway, the aspect of Ole Bull playing on 4 strings at once is interesting. Other than broken chords played simultaneously, I wonder where he applied such as technique. Any idea as to what music he might have used them with?
For a violinist to remain a legend so long without having no recordings to judge him by is truly amazing.
@unclejuniorsoprano Actually, he had his violin custom designed, so that he could play all four strings simultaneously! It became what is now known as a "hardingfele", after a place in Norway named "Hardanger". "Fele" is Norwegian for violin.
Another interesting fact about Ole Bull is that he played with a nearly flat bridge so that he could play cords better. I have a very good book, "Famous Violinists of To-Day and Yesterday" by Henry C. Lahee that devotes a long chapter to Ole Bull. He's one of those violinists who remains a great mystery.
Vakker! Takk for at du viser oss denne ^^
