John Gunnarsson Helland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jon Gunnarsson Helland (1897 - 1977) was a Norwegian Hardanger fiddle maker from Bø in Telemark.

John Gunnarson Helland, the fourth of the five Gunnarsson Helland brothers, began his work in his father, [[Gunnar Olavsson Helland]]'s workshop and then went to Notodden, Telemark, where he made some of his best fiddles.

From 1917 to 1927 he travelled in Sweden and Germany. He later operated a workshop for fiddles and violins and a music shop in Skien.
