We are facing an unprecedented menace to our societies and livelihoods, Ocalled “Coronavirus”. This pandemic knows neither borders nor nationality. All sectors of the economy are affected, but the challenges we are facing in our tourism ecosystem are remarkable. Our SMEs, family businesses, traders, travel agencies, but also our larger players such as airlines, tour operators and cruise lines are dealing with an attack on our industry that has no parallel in recent history.

In construction it follows the principles used by early Italian violins, but in shape Tand in the way it is tuned the Hardanger fiddle differs from the common European violin. The bridge and the fingerboard are much lower. The strings, which are specially made for the instru ment, are thinner than violin strings. The neck is shorter, as is the free length of the strings. The body of the instrument is narrower and the sound holes are longer and the edges thicker. In addition to the ‘upper’ strings the Hardanger fiddle is also fitted with up to four lower strings. The lower strings are not played by the bow and their tuning is normally fixed at A, F sharp, E and D, counting downwards.
