This is my new challenge. 21 string kantele (finnish instrument) made by Gerry Henkel from kantele.com. CUSTOM for me :) with line out and two bass strings.

Cuando un instrumento cae en tus manos...renace como un poeta.A veces me recuerdan a los propios organos,haciendo funcionar el mecanismo interior.

Seria interesante tocar con ese pelo tambien! :P

 

 

En sueños nada me impide llegar a la isla de San Borondón,La Encantada,trocito perdido de la Atlántida...si desapareces entre tu niebla despertaré.Mi espíritu galopa,sobre puentes de ramas,bajo un cielo de aguas nacientes,abrigada por el valor del viento

Hi Priscilla, this evening I was cruising through your forum and found this fascinating picture of the kantele instrument. How do you enjoy playing it? It reminds me of a little Greek table-harp that Spyros from Daemonia Nymphe lent me when we met in Clisson, France, 2001. I taught myself to play it and made a song on it, "Over the Border", on the first volume of that collaboration, "Love Sessions". But it was much smaller & probably lighter than this kantele. I'm interested to know about its Finnish history & how you met Gerry Henkel, or discovered his site. And now I'm curious to look again at your album booklets, which can point to where this instrument is featuring in your arrangements. As Alice in Wonderland says, curiouser and curiouser! Kisses, Louisa
