The maker of this hardanger fiddle, Lynn Berg and his wife from Eugene, Oregon were able to travel up to Seattle over the Holidays and he personally delivered it to our home on the Winter Solstice, 2010. The instrument is beautiful. It is full of mother of pearl inlay work and lots of ink decorations called rosing. We were all amazed that this gorgeous instrument was for Anika to play and enjoy for a year. What a Christmas present! Anika was able to learn a halling on her violin prior to the arrival of this instrument so she had a tune already ready to play on the hardingfele. After having a little tuning lesson from Lynn, she played her song and continued to noodle around with this new toy. It was a very enjoyable afternoon with the Bergs. Big smiles all around.
