During our visit to the Musical Instrument Museum last
weekend, I saw this beautiful Finnish kantele.  The kantele is a plucked zither.  I have a special liking for the kantele.  My cartooning project for 2012 was the
first fifth of a cartoon adaptation of the Kalevala, the epic poem of
Finland.  The hero of the Kalevala
is the shaman Vainamoinen, who plays the kantele.
