The HFAA is offering the loan of eleven Hardanger fiddles--the "Iversen", the "Poast", the "1904", the "Lion" Wulffenstejn Student Model, the "Løve", the "Wulffenstejn", the "Nielsen XX", and four Lerud fiddles ("Ada", "Anna", "Aaste", and "Guri")--for a one-year period beginning July 1 of the award year and ending on June 15 of the following year. These instruments are offered to promising adult or teen/older child students of Norwegian traditional fiddling who are residents of the United States and for whom a full-size instrument is appropriate. (For younger children who are not yet ready for a full-size instrument, please see our Young Student Hardingfele Loan program.) Applicants should have previous bowed stringed instrument playing experience, and are required as a condition of the loan to take regularly scheduled lessons with a hardingfele teacher, either in person or via videoconference (Zoom, Facetime or similar).
The application deadline is midnight, June 1 (if emailed) or postmarked by June 1 (if sent postal mail) of the award year. For more information please contact adultstudent@hfaa.org or president@hfaa.org.
The Adult Student Hardingfele Loan Program Rules and Application Form for the 2022 loan year will be available here for download after March 2022.
