South Wind (Irish Traditional)

[TheMadlyGoesBonkers]

This is absolutely gorgeous on the kantele. Thank you.

@TheMadlyGoesBonkers　Thank you! I like kantele's trasnparent sound.

I could just sit down and keep listening to this tune over and over again, for hours, for days, for weeks.. Thanks for sharing this one! :-D

[Liraxtime]

Thank you so much for your special attention.

@haihattelenpahanvaan Wasn't this song played at the end of the TV sitcom ' Home IOmprovement ', Season 1, Episode 3???

[Elfgris]

Splendid, and unusual. I've never heard this piece played with a lyre. Great.

Thank you!

[Liraxtime]

I'm glad you liked it.

I played it with a kantele, Finnish music instrument. It has clearer sound than a lyre and rich in ressonance.

[Elfgris]

An instrument I've rarely heard, just once or twice. This performance is even more interesting. Thank you and congratulations!

[Liraxtime]

Your collection of Medieval and Renaissance musics are very beautiful :D

Hello!

This is so beautiful and gentle...

Thank you!

[Liraxtime]

Hi, it is often played by harpists in G major. I changed it to C major for my lyre.

You can try on your lyre, too:-)

[Liraxtime]

Since you play irish harp, you know the song better than me. (I learnt it from a lyre player in UK. I also play lyre)

Kantele has many ways to play. You may pluck the strings, but usually it is played as "appoiando" of guitar technique.

oh my word that is beautiful. I have never heard of a kantele...how do you play it? is it plucked?
