The hardanger d'amore is a 10-string bowed instrument made by Salve Håkedal.
The hardanger d'amore was first commissioned by Dan Trueman, who had a vision for a hardanger-like instrument with an extra low string, in the Setesdal style, designed to be played at A440, as opposed to the higher pitch hardanger fiddles are usually tuned to.
Five of the ten strings are bowed, while the remaining five strings function as resonant sympathetic strings.
The hardanger d'amore has also been known as a "5+5" fiddle or a "5x5".
