Replica of Old Kantele

Take a peek to the history of northern europe when tales were shared trough songs!

This reconstructed exhibition piece represents over a millennia of musical legacy in the form of classic five stringed instrument.

Kantele is an old traditional Finnish plucked string instrument carved from wood. Similar instruments also occur in the eastern Baltic Sea area.

The exact shape varies to some degree between instruments, specially modern ones, but classic kantele with five strings is among the most common ones.

For this challenge I wanted to create something unique and this project gave quite a challenge! Enjoy!
