Robert "Bud" Larsen

Robert "Bud" Larsen (born 1942), American Hardanger fiddle maker of Norwegian descent.

Robert's father played violin and Hardanger fiddle, emigrated from Førde, Sunnfjord, Norway, and lived for many years in Fargo, North Dakota. Robert became, at the age of 13, apprenticed to the Norwegian/American fiddlemaker Gunnar Gunnarsson Helland as a repairman and a fiddle maker in Fargo from 1957 to 1965.

His making of Hardanger fiddles is a side activity.
