WONDERFUL...

[Helge E. Storheim]

Great music. Am I hallucinating or are there a lot of tuning pegs on that fiddle? :-)

@helstor365 ha ha no you're not hallucinating! He's actually playing something called a viola d'amore which tend to have more strings. Not all of them are played, but they are known as sympathetic strings that give it that beautiful resonant sound.

[Helge E. Storheim]

@boxplayer A bit like the Norwegian "Hardanger fiddle" then perhaps. It has one drone string for each of the 4 strings and 8 tuning pegs

@helstor365 yes same concept, I love the Hardanger fiddle!
