Larraine Jenson-Kagee inspects an eight-string Hardangerfele (Hardanger fiddle) that was built in Norway in 1842 and given to her grandfather in the late 1800s. This type of fiddle, smaller than a violin, typically has four strings running along the top of the instrument and two to four strings running under the neck which resonate when the other strings are played.
