Jouhikko

Just playing little self-composed song,"Jouhinen hirttoköysi" with traditional Finnish type of bowed lyre called jouhikko. Purely handmade from natural materials as rowan, moose bone and horse tailhair.
Jouhikolla pieni kappale. Jouhikko käsintehty pihlajasta, hirven luusta ja hevosen jouhesta. Kurkkaa tuolta jos kiinnostaa enemmän www.tuluskivi.suntuubi.com

@Busukis Kemenche is pontic :D

[Busukis]

It's sound just like byzantine/cretan lyra or kemenche in turkish.

@Max0Inq I guess that's always an option lol. It may be very difficult since I have no experience of the instrument whatsoever, though. How much do the materials usually cost? :P

@Kizales You could try to make one. Check Simon's Chadwick jouhikko - two pine planks of pine (+ separate soundboard but you can skip it) you can buy in most of Home Depot-type stores. Michael J King makes them (jouhikkos, not pine planks) but he's from UK.

Where can you get an affordable jouhikko in America? I want to play it at some time but they are so unpopular that they don't even come up under Google shopping results :/

How much can you sell them for?

[CHARADIUS]

@rapumerta
