Anika's version of Hardingfele story

I have been wanting to play violin since I was little and after a few years I started violin when I was 7 and now I'm 10 so I've gotten pretty good at it. Last year my violin teacher told me I could try and win the use of the Hardanger fiddle for a year. I had only seen a Hardanger fiddle once or twice before and I was fascinated by it and I decided to apply for it. A few months later she told me that she heard I won it. My mom didn't want to believe it before we got the final word but I was quite certain my teacher was right. Finally a letter came in the mail saying I had won it! I had to wait for the maker of the instrument, Lynn Berg, and his wife to deliver it. When they came we had a nice afternoon with them but the Hardanger fiddle was the best part. When I started Hardanger fiddle lessons I got kinda frustrated about how annoying it was to tune and how I only knew one tune on it but it's gotten easier to tune and I have more tunes on it now so I'm happy with it.
