Helland Brothers

Helland Brothers

Helland Brothers was a fiddle makers' shop in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, USA, 1905 - 1927.

The workshop was founded in 1905 by the brothers Knut Gunnarson Helland and Gunnar Gunnarsson Helland from in Telemark. They emigrated to America in 1901 and made both Hardanger fiddles and violins. Knut died, supposedly of typhoid fever in 1920. Gunnar Gunnarson Helland ran the workshop alone until 1927, when it was closed due to the failure of the fiddle market.
