Description
Violin Bridge Hardanger Model
The Hardanger model bridge is based on the traditional Hardanger fiddle (hardingfele)—a folk instrument with 4–5 sympathetic strings beneath the fingerboard {cite}turn0search0{cite_end}. It features a lower arch and flatter top to accommodate the wider fingerboard and support multiple string vibrations {cite}turn0search0{cite_end}.
Research shows that sympathetic strings contribute to the unique “ringing” quality of the Hardanger fiddle, while the flatter bridge promotes harmony and drone effects {cite}turn0search2{cite_end}.
🌲 Crafted from premium aged maple for warmth, or ash for bright articulation.
Sizes available: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 4/4, 7/8
Form options:
- Blank: Full-thickness bridge for expert fitting
- Pre-thinned: Reduced thickness to ease carving and fitting (add €5)
This bridge is perfect for musicians exploring folk, Nordic, or earlier classical repertoire. It supports sympathetic string bases and provides balanced tone for melodic and harmonic flexibility.
