A demonstration of a reconstructed horse-hair fiddle by musician Einar Selvik (of Wardruna) during the Old Norse Poetry in Performance (ONPIP) Conference at Somerville College, Oxford on Friday 24 June 2016. A fiddle-like instrument was discovered at Hedeby, but it was probably not a type common in Scandinavia. The
earliest depiction is from a statue from the 1200´s in the oldest part of the cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. This instrument was common in Scandinavia, especially Finland, up until the early 1900s.More information about the band and project can be found at
