Is It Possible to Turn a Violin into a Hardanger Fiddle?
This would involve grafting a new head onto the neck (or replacing the whole neck and head), putting on a Hardanger fiddle bridge, modifying the tailpiece, and so on. There are a few makers in Norway who use a process something like this to produce inexpensive beginner-level Hardanger fiddles. In addition to replacing the head and bridge, etc., this also involves adjusting the thicknesses of the top. The result is a compromise between quality and expense, even when the maker is very experienced.
