This kantele was handmade in the United States by the two-generation team of Folkcraft luthiers.
The body of this instrument is black walnut, which not only looks great with our hand-rubbed lacquer finish, but has the most pleasing, mellow sound a person could want in a musical instrument. The soundboard we've put on this walnut kantele is made of Engelmann spruce. Engelmann spruce has long been associated with the most expensive classical guitars made, and we're pleased to offer it on a select few of our kanteles. The Engelmann spruce is mostly white in color, and looks great with the brown color of the walnut used for this instrument's body.
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.
