Ljuder Anders Ersson (1833 – 1923)
Ljuder Anders lived in Gopshus and both his father and grand­father were famous fiddlers. His grand­father had composed many tunes. Ljuder Anders started to play at the age of 11. He was tought to play the fiddle by his brother Ljuder Erik.Then Anders taught his friend Knagg Anders Ersson to play. These two fiddlers travelIed to the southern parts of Sweden and earned money from play­ing melodies from the region of Dalecarlia. They often played at weddings and parties. To be able to resist the temptation to drink schnapps, which people drank at the parties, Ljuder Anders stopped playing when he was only 17 years of age. Then it took 55 years before he touched the fiddle again. Ljuder Anders participated in the folk music con­tests in Mora 1906 and 1907. In 1907 he played together with his son, three grand­sons and a granddaughter. They were given a price of honour for good ensemble play.The tunes written down after Ljuder Anders came from Mora and the region between Mora and Älvdalen. He played the polska a little faster than other fiddlers from Mora.

Frost Anders Ersson – Hins Anders (1829-1907)
Frost Anders Ersson was called Hins An­ders. He was son of the fiddler Frost Erik and brother to Frost Lars Ersson. Hins Anders repaired clocks. Anders Zorn used to visit him often and he also made portrait of him. It was not easy to get him play on request, but when alone he would play for hours. During summer evenings he would often walk up a hill close to his home to “play for the squirrels”, as he expressed himself. Village folks said that he played so loud that the whole village could hear him. From his repertoire 29 tunes are written down.

Frost Lars Ersson – Hins Lars (1833-1882)
Frost Lars Ersson used to be called Hins Lars. He was the younger brother to Hins Anders. The two brothers were often cal­led “The Hins lads”. Hins Lars could read musical notes and was open minded. Because of his profession as a bricklayer Hins Lars traveI­led a great deal and he was able to learn new dances and melodies from his traveIs which he took home to Mora. Hins Lars was said to be the first person to introduce the waltz to Mora and its neighbourhood back in the eighteen fifties. “The Hins lads” both joined the sarcophagus transport from Älvdalen.

Täpp Erik Andersson (1872-1943)
Täpp Erik came from Noret and started to play at the age of 12. His musicality probably came from his mother, who of­ten sang old melodies. Täpp Erik often visited a neighbor, Stikå Olle, who taught him some of his tunes. After Täpp Erik, 14 of his tunes are represented as written music  in Svenska låtar (Swedish Tunes).

Anders Seljesson (1858-1939)
Anders Seljesson came from the “Smids family” in the village Selja. His father, Smids Per, was forced to end his playing the fiddle when he got married. The reason for this was being the religi­ous revival, which came to Mora at that time. When Anders wanted to learn how to play there was a resistance to fidd­le music from his mother. Therefore he had to learn how to play secretly from some farm-hands in the neighbourhood.

Kings Selma Olofsdotter (1891-1927)
Kings Selma came from Färnäs. She lear­ned to play the fiddle from her father Kings Olof Andersson, who was a fiddler. She participated in the first folk music competition in Gesunda 1906 aged only 14 years. She played for dancing with other fiddlers when Anders Zorn arranged his dances in the Gopsmor cottage. 

Anders Myhr (1847-1939)
Anders Myhr was a cousin to Anders Seljesson. As a young fiddler he had to overcome a lot of resistance from the religious revival. lt was considered that a fiddler would go to hell. “But then it must be someone from heaven there!” Anders would say. He never stopped playing the fiddle, and when he was 60 years old he started to play much more. Anders Zorn the painter encouraged him through the competitions he sponsored.
