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.
