Hardanger fiddle making resources

If you find yourself wanting to make a hardanger fiddle, you may be suprised at how little information is available. This dearth of information is especially stark when compared with the plethora of information available for it’s more popular cousin (books, The Strad magazines, The Strad posters, academic literature, Youtube videos etc.). Because the information is so sparse we have tried to point towards all sources of information suitable for hardanger fiddle making (seperate to the academic resources covered here (XXAdd hyperlink)).

(XX Talk about how to augment information with generic violin making knowledge and why that isn’t “inauthentic”).
