Kantele song "Snowfall at Forest"

First song written on Kantele that I just recieved this afternoon! Will probably make it longer once I compose more to it, but this is sufficient for now!

This video is for you Anne, my dear Finnish friend! :)

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. :)

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!

@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!

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

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!

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]

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!

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
