Making Your Own Kantele
I thought it would be fun to make my own five string kantele and chronicle the experience here. This is not a "how-to"...Michael King's already written an excellent
"how to" construction guide if that's what you're looking for. (Read a review.) Instead, I share my thoughts, why I made certain decisions
during the building process and, most importantly, share the results! If you have any questions about my kantele making attempts, please feel free to email me!
This is a recording of me playing the traditional Finnish folk tune, Tottele, on the five string kantele I made. Other Kantele Making Sites
