I am selling my collection at a low price as part of my end-of-life preparations. The Hardanger fiddle, a traditional Norwegian instrument, takes its name from the Hardanger region where it originated. It is also known as the Harding violin or Hardingfele. This instrument, which has four playing strings and five sympathetic strings, is made by only two or three people in Norway today. This particular fiddle is a 2008 creation by one of them, featuring inlaid floral patterns and mother-of-pearl on the fingerboard, sides, and trim. I purchased it about 10 years ago at a music store in Oslo for 5,200 euros (approximately 600,000 yen). At the current exchange rate of 1 euro to 160 yen, that's about 780,000 yen. A new Hardanger fiddle was priced at 10,000 euros (about 1.1 million yen), but this was a used instrument. I don't know how to play it, so I've just had it on display at home.
