Great to hear some new work from you two! Love your sound.

Thanks a lot!

Awesome. Is the hardanger you're playing here a hybrid of sorts? It almost looks like a 5 string violin with the added sympathetic strings.

[@olmification]

It’s a 5 string hardanger fiddle in A, so a hybrid is a good description.

Lovely! I’m excited to see more music by you! This had such a nice, cheerful sound. I think the Hardanger fiddle is one of the most wonderful instruments ever! Is this more than one tune?

[@olmification]

It’s a nice instrument, indeed. This one is actually a normal fiddle that I got rebuilt. So now it’s some kind of Hardanger fiddle, with 5 top strings and 5 sympathetic strings.
Hugnad is just one long tune :)
