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 tuning this string up to a Bb, B or C, as is common with the hardanger fiddle.
Five of the ten strings are bowed, while the remaining five strings function as resonant sympathetic strings.
