==Technique== The technique of bowing a {{lang|no|hardingfele}} also differs from that used with a violin. It's a smoother, bouncier style of bowing, with a lighter touch. The player usually bows on two of the upper strings at a time, and sometimes three. This is made easy by the relative flatness of the bridge, unlike the more curved bridge on a violin. The objective is to create a continuous sound of two (or more due to the sympathetic understrings) pitches. The strings of the fiddle are slimmer than those of the violin, resembling the strings of violins from the [[baroque]] period. Many classically trained violinists use a baroque bow when playing the {{lang|no|hardingfele}} in order to counteract the extra weight that classical violinists naturally place on the string. Here is an example of technique shown by Rose Logan with an instrument held at [[St Cecilia's Hall]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Hardingfele (hardanger fiddle) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ojV1GCeFg |website=www.youtube.com |language=en |access-date=2022-03-08}}</ref>
