5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully made even though it's not traditional., July 27, 2006
What a wonderful instrument!
The make and finish is absolutely flawless, the sound is warm, mellow and distinctive, as promised. It is a very good Kantele that is very much suited for the traditional method of playing. It does not feature the traditional tailpiece (ponsi) of a finnish Kantele but the sound is nonetheless very authentic. It's quite a chunky instrument, but still small enough to rest it comfortably in your lap. It might be possible to attach a shoulder strap to it if you prefer that method of playing, although i'd leave that job to someone who knows what he's doing.

This Kantele can be strummed and to a degree you can play some really catchy songs with it, although you might have to retune it slightly if you want different chords than the traditional one. Plucking this Kantele is dead easy and rewarding even if you have little or no skill to begin with.

All in all i really recommend it. Got for it - it rocks!
