 Description P&P and payments
 This is a custom made 5 String Kantele made from Black Walnut and a cedar top,   this has an open back and a D tuning.

This was made 1 year ago and apart from a few minor marks is is perfect condition,   It has spent the last year being played in a historic ecclesiastic setting so has been well looked after,   (customer wanted to buy a 29 stringed harp, hence the sale)  I only make to order so rarely have these in stock ever.

This was one of the instruments I used for my online video playing guide(see below) 

The instrument comes complete with tuning key, plectrum,  spare strings,  CD,   plus as a bonus you will get 2 instruction books for the Kantele written by lani K Thompson!!! The new price for this kit would be £300 for the case and instrument and £50 for the extras


These Kanteles can be played by anyone, are great for simple improvisation and yet are still offer a challenge if you want to play the ancient repertoire or modern tunes.

The 5 string is the oldest type of Kantele, 2000 plus years at least! and is an integral part or the Finnish epic poem The Kalevala.
This instrument is the direct ancestor of the Zither and autoharp!

Modern interpretations of these instruments have found use in Schools, Music Therapy and Meditation work

For historical information have a read at this thesis by Carl Rahkonen

Tuning

It is strung with steel strings tuned to a Diatonic scale in D. ( D, E, F#,G, A) Or D minor tuning D, E, F G A
For Music Therapy The Pentatonic D tuning can be used D, E, G, A, C
