Hardanger Fiddle - Mats Edén plays Reisaren

Another tune from the great maestro, Mats Éden. Here he plays the 'gangar' Reisaren learned from the playing of Torleiv Bjørgum and Gunnar Stubseid.

The hardingfele (hardanger fiddle) is a folk instrument from the south-west of Norway. Besides the normal 4 strings of a fiddle, it has a set of 4-5 understrenger, resonating strings that sit below the bridge and add an ethereal reverb to the sound.
