Briefly in English about Koistinen Kantele

KANTELE IS A TRADITIONAL FINNISH INSTRUMENT

In Finland's national epic, Kalevala, the mage Väinämöinen makes the first kantele from the jawbone of a giant pike and a few hairs from Hiisi's stallion. The music it makes draws all the forest creatures near to wonder at its beauty.

Later, after losing and greatly grieving over his kantele, Väinämöinen makes another one from a birch, strung with the hair of a willing maiden, and its magic proves equally profound.

Our company has been hand building and modernizing these beautiful sounding instruments since 1957.
