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.
This page shows Vainamoinen wowing the crowd with
his kantele.
