Item 2360022BV, $245.00
This kantele was handmade in the United States by our skilled team of luthiers.
The body of the instrument is hickory, which provides you with a beautifully reflective back and sides which reflects most of the sound of the strings back through the top. You'll get a lot of volume, but not so much sustain that the notes get muddy or mushy. The western red cedar soundboard provides a bit of mellowness to the tone, and complements the hickory both visually and sonically.
With fifteen strings, you get a full two octave D major scale. You could easily tune your kantele to play a two octave C major scale if you preferred.
To play the instrument, you can hold it upright against your body, with the strings facing away from you, or you can lay the instrument across your lap with the strings facing upwards. While the vertical position may be more traditional, we enjoy performing with the instrument on the lap, as this allows easy use of both hands while creating music.
