Hardanger Fiddle


As I walked the streets of Bergen today looking for street art, I came across this one with the Norwegian Hardanger Fiddle. The words explain where they play this fiddle in Norway. Not a fantastic piece of street art of course, but it made me think. What if this is a new trend. Street artists will transform the town to a grand scale Wikipedia, educting the people. Great idea? Maybe not, but I promise you more Hardanger fiddeling tomorrow.

"Banks Of Sweet Italy", a later Incredible String Band number, has some nice Hardanger fiddle playing by Robin Williamson on it.
