Muireann Ní Sheoighe Eachthighearn

Newark School of Violin Making

RAB Trust Award 2022:

Muireann was awarded funding towards wood and tools, and flights for a work experience in Norway where she has arranged work experience this summer with Salve Haakedal, a Hardanger fiddle maker.

I am just back from a 10 day live-in work experience with Salve Haakedal in Birkeland, Norway. I cannot believe how much I have learned in this time, about my own making style, about the history and living culture of Hardanger fiddles and so much more. I could never have done this without the financial help of the RAB trust and I will not forget this generosity! I even got to go to a Kappliek, which is a three day festival that showcases hardanger playing along with traditional dance and song of Setesdal.

I also used the trust fund to buy wood to make this hardanger, as well as a fantastic gouge I have gotten from eBay.
