Jouhikko

[@VedunianCraft]

That was one of the videos back then where I decided to go for my first build! Thanks for making that video 💪!

[@derwolf4611]

2:04 "old, traditional style" :D good build though

[@BRITISHANDPROUD2023]

I love it!

[@purklang]

Nice Instrument!

[@Elhereje_GG]

great work

[@perceval6947]

Didn't you put a bas bar or sound post inside it?

[@robabnawaz]

I love the way you made this video. Did you build more Jouhikkos in the meantime?

[@neireficulblackocculta]

Very great job

[@АлександрВабля]

Красиво, очень красиво

[@bearshield7138]

nicely done

[@codycarter5902]

is that a wardruna song you played at the end?

[@asgerrud]

It sounds like Fehu.

[@TaylorBowenDad]

yes, it is fehu

[@user-yh4zm4td8z]

FEHU

[@AndrewWukusick]

Is that Fehu at the end?

[@radiorockcity7537]

Hola, muy buen trabajo, te cuento que fabrique un jouhikko, pero no se como son las cuerdas i su afinación, me podrías ayudar con eso? Te lo agradecería eternamente... Hello, very good work, I tell you to make a jouhikko, but I do not know how the strings are and their tuning, could you help me with that? I would thank you forever ...

[@charaev82]

its horse hair in Bow? or not?

[@thesignway]

hey, very cool video! how long did it take you to build it?

[@ajeje1996]

I've never seen such clear rosin - usually it's amber-colored... from what kind of tree did you get it? Anyway, great build.

[@Nyymi85]

Rather old Picea abies tree.

[@ajeje1996]

Vapaamies thanks!

[@kristianrajala6315]

Paljon on matka tallan ja tappien välissä?

[@dibujosinlimitesmp]

Great work! what did you make the bow and strings from?

[@RamukkaPamukka]

They're horsehair like in old times

[@Massi94211]

Aaaaand it's a skate board 2:12

[@kristianjocsik7534]

How long is the mensure or scale length?

[@fstef9632]

The bow string from what is made;

[@Wolfoe1238]

Both the strings on it and the bow are commonly made with horse hair

[@TheUltimateBAN]

Seuraavaksi kantele?

[@Nyymi85]

No perkele :D Sellanen pitää kyllä joskus vielä tehdä.

[@ondrat9790]

Hello sir. I wanna build Jouhikko to, but i dont know what type of wood i can use and what type of wood sound good. Can you help me please and give some instructions please ?

[@HexExxon]

ondra t From what I've gathered, and by no means am I an expert on this, I think anything from ash to sycamore will do. Depending on how you carve it, you could use oak, but it may be a bit too hard and "brittle." You might want to stay away from softer woods like redwood too. You want the walls of the sound cavity to be as thin as feasibly possible, but still able to vibrate to some extent. For the sycamore jouhikko I'm building currently, the walls are about half an inch thick. The board you use to overlay the cavity as a soundboard can be birch or birch or beach wood, something that is strong yet still flexible without breaking under the pressure of the bridge. For the bridge, it can be the same as you use for the body, but the way you cut it matters more. The bridge should be quarter-sawn for the best vibration transmission, and cut so the strongest part of the wood contacts the soundboard. The tailpiece can really be any kind of hardwood, if you plan on making it similar to a violin tailpiece. As for the traditional "stick" tailpiece, it might be best to use the same wood used for the body. www.nogy.net And www.instrumentsofantiquity.com/finlandia/ Both good reads, and plenty of inspiration to be found. Good luck!

[@ondrat9790]

Thank you very much ! :)

[@Erowens98]

Birch is traditional as that's the hardwood most common in the regions these instruments where invented.

[@Krabadaque]

For the top of the instrument spruce or cedar is usually recommended, and if you can find wood from an old house that's being torn down, it's even better. Then you can be sure the wood is dry. Also see that the "year rings" of the wood are as close to 90 dergrees from its surface. Slowly grown wood with thin "year rings" is recommended.

@@Krabadaque , да, про древесину из старого дома - отличный совет.

[@pulrok]

Nice

[@abrahamscott2280]

👍

[@Panssaritalvi]

Oliko jousen materiaali myös jouhta vai jotain muuta?

[@Nyymi85]

Polymeerisiima!

[@Panssaritalvi]

Onnistuukos se kieletkin tehdä siitä vai käytitkö niihin jouhta?

[@jackkrag]

sharpening

[@ibrahimturan28]

After 7:00 what do you play?

[@chaoshead666]

wow is he playing fehu? :o

[@ondrat9790]

But I wanna build 3-strings type of Jouhikko

[@issuma8223]

So did you?

[@ondrat9790]

@@issuma8223 yes I did! Two years ago with plans and guide of Rauno Nieminen. I have build Impilahti type jouhikko. It has horse hair strings.

[@issuma8223]

@@ondrat9790 That's great! I have that same blueprint and book, but I plan to build a longer jouhikko, close to a meter. Because of the string length I will probably have to use dacron strings.

[@Erowens98]

Mitähän materiaalii kielet mahtaa olla?

[@Krabadaque]

No selevästikkin hevosen häntäjouhia. Mulle in suositeltu että pitäs olla mieluummin oriin ku tamman jouhia koska virtsa kuulemma voi vaikuttaa huonontavasti tamman häntäjouhiin. Itellä on tietenkin tamman hännästä napattua jouhta siis viisikielisessä kanteleessa,enkä mää tiedä onks se sen huonompi ku en o muuta vielä egtiy kokkeillakkaan. Soi kauniisti mutta hyvin hiljaa. Tärkeetä on että koko kielen soiva pittuus on tiukkaan punottu. Muuten sävelkorkeus on epämääränen.

[@tamburinigorizia7326]

hy ,you use strings of violin?

[@Krabadaque]

No, I'm quite sure the strings are made of horsehair, like in the old days (before power tolls etc.).

[@macewen1]

Great vid, but a steel hammer on wood chisels? You are making me cringe.
