🇫🇮Is the 5 string normally played by men. Is it more feminine, because it looks perfect for me to sing with. I want to get one, but also dont want to get laughed at by other Finns (as i was born in chicago) any advice?🪽💚

Hey! Thank you so much for the tutorial! I was very glad to learn something new from such sunny girls! I have a question about strumming technique: do we use only our index finger while strumming all the strings upwards and downwards, or we can use the thumb for strumming upwards? What is more...traditional?

I've been playing instruments my whole life, Piano, Clarinet, and now I've been playing guitar for 18 years. I recently learned about the kantele after doing some Finland studies because my great great grandparents came from there to the U.S. I need one now. My grandfather played guitar, and it always had me wondering if my ancestors played stringed instruments in Ostrobothnia which seems to have a huge influence there.
@northwind9505 Жыл бұрын
I have a question. First forgive me because I know very little about music. Question. With the Kantele I have noticed that the instrument has 5 or 10 strings. (Of course some have many more) Why do I not see 6 or 7 strings Kantele?
@militarykid918310 ай бұрын
I am more than aware that this is a year late but I actually have an answer. Kanteles and most traditional Finnish music is based around the pentatonic scale, meaning that they only use 5 notes compared to the standard diatonic scale of 7 notes. This is actually very common for traditional folk music globally being seen in traditional music stretching from across Europe, Asia, and Africa. If anything modern western 12 tone equal temperament is the weird system. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend watching videos from "12 tone" who has several videos on tuning systems, their history and the theory behind them.

Hi, I have a question and it's hard to find someplace to ask it. I heard a kantele piece today that changed from major to minor and back mid-piece. Is this possible (like with a lever)? Is it only on larger concert kanteles that it can be done? FWIW, the piece is called 'Pienet veitikat' by Timo Väänänen.

@ 5:51 - H minor ??? 🤯
@ThenameisAntti2 жыл бұрын
The note B is H in many European countries. To Finland that tradition came from Germany where a lot of cultural influence came from with Lutheranism.
@olearntz2 жыл бұрын
The German note "H" (engl. B) is often said to have been invented, because a monk, who was either drunk or sleepy (or both), made a typo, while transcribing notes manually from one document to another. But historically correct is: in medieval church music, the forth (4 notes) was considered the perfect interval: C-F, D-G, E-A... but F-B is a tritonus (aka "the devil's interval"), so they had to 'invent' another tone between A and B --> voilá: B flat. Derived from the way notes were written back then, the 'old' B then was named H after the #, which ressembles the letter h, whereas the 'new' one was called B. Even nowadays, # means, you play the note one half-tone higher, whereas the b tells you to play that note one half-tone lower. And what's more: their Latin names 'b durum' ("hard B" = B) and 'b molle' ("soft B" = Bb) made us differentiate scales between major (german "Dur) and minor (german: "Moll").
