A Romanian folk fiddler ("Ghica din Salaj") at the 2006 Negreni Fair plays the "vioara cu goarna" or trumpet fiddle. These instruments are resonator violins made locally by craftsmen in the Bihor region of Transylvania. A small membrane resonator set below the violin bridge carries the sound to a trumpet for amplification.
