How did you get your kantele?

[AnwendEihwaz]

@Metaldude1945 I purchased it off ebay from a luthier who makes them here in the states. If you're looking for one to buy send me a message and when I get the time I'll give you a few links for where you can get some. :)

[riteandritual]

have you tried using a hammered dulcimer or bowed approach to the kantele? I was that done by michaeljking and I thought it was pretty awesome, though untraditional... Keep it up!

[AnwendEihwaz]

@riteandritual Thank you! :) Buy a Kantele, you won't regret it! So simple yet so powerful. 5-10 strings (or 36, if one can afford it, haha) have never provided such powerful melodies (not referring to my own melody, although I do enjoy it.:P)

I have tried such approaches, but don't have proper mallets. I usually just end up using two pencils or one long stick for all the strings. Haven't played the Kantele lately, but need to pick it back up!

[riteandritual]

that's beautiful dude! Thanks for sharing that. I want to buy a kantele now! :)

GREAT JOB !!!

Larry at Finn Hollow Kanteles

[AnwendEihwaz]

Thank you!!! Means a lot coming from you, but I must say you did a great job with building a Lovely instrument. Makes it that much more special and easier to play when a good craftsman is behind it!

Thanks again!

[SwiftSnowmane]

This is wonderful. Where did you get your kantele, do you mind me asking? :-)

[AnwendEihwaz]

Thank you! Not a problem at all, great question! I won it off ebay, but the builder is Larry from "Finn Hollow Kanteles". If you would like further info, message me. If you have any more questions as well I would be very glad to answer! :D

[coblejl]

Does Larry have a website i'd be able to go to, and thank you for the website lark in the morning, truely thankful, by the way i love the song...

[AnwendEihwaz]

I don't think that he does, he does mostly small level work, a good honest craftsman. He does however have another Kantele up now on ebay. Go there and search "Kantele", and add him "labonte_1" to your favorite sellers. This one however is a left handed one, although it will work both ways.

Thank you! Glad you Love the song! Feel free to message me anytime with questions!

[mynyksi]

Anwend !!! You got your kantele and you can already play with it!? You just are marvelous; I dont find the right words to describe what I feel now I am so proud of you!

Dont you dare never to change!

You kept your promise now I owe you one.

Greetings from far away

Anne

A big hug !!!

[AnwendEihwaz]

Thank you dear! :) I am very glad you are so speechless and enjoyed the song! Means a lot coming from a True Finn! ;) I am just imitating, haha! :P

A big hug to you as well! Thanks again!

Anwend

[mynyksi]

So really, you are one of those (rare) people who can make me speechless! True Finn hahaa, I take that as a politeness, even if  I cannot always to be proud of my Finnishness. (What a word, I hope it is correct)

Your imitating is great, I would be proud to able to imitate like that.

Many hugs over Atlantic Ocean!

Anne

[AnwendEihwaz]

Thank you! :) And that makes me speechless to know! Hehe! Ah, of course it is politeness! I Love everything Finnish, so I mean only the best of course, hehe!

Finnishness, such a great word! ;) Indeed it works! If ever I come to Finland, I would have to teach you how to play one, haha, that would be ironic, a non-finn teaching a Finn how to play Kantele! ;) I may not teach so good then, haha

Many hugs!

Anwend

[mynyksi]

Two speechless?

We share the silence? ;-)
