Description
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.
