This special Hardanger lute with four resonance strings is a joint research project of lute maker Lars Tørressen and Felemakeriet / Lukas Pawelka. Aim of the project was to develope a completely new musical instrument, which can be used for playing Norwegian folk music. The instrument combines the playing feel of a regular lute with a richness in overtones known from the Hardanger fiddle. This project was subsidised by Vestland fylkeskommune, Bergen kommune and Senter for folkemusikk og folkedans.

This double neck guitar has been made by Lukas Pawelka in 2022
