@@austinhaynes7861 It's an alright app for teaching basic things. The problem I have with it is if you're going from English to a language such as Finnish or Spanish, at some point the sentence structure becomes crazy and there's no explanation as to why it's like that. I even know a Finnish person and they can't explain it to me. Still, it's you're striving for simple stuff, you can't go wrong for a free app.

Kantele is an ancient instrument and you can see many similiar instruments around the world, like the chinese gu zheng, japanese koto and the various slavic counterparts like gusli. There is no way of telling where it originated, but i'd wager china as they reached a cultural golden age around the same time as the ancient greece.
@timomastosalo9 жыл бұрын
+teutonieth Or an older culture. Probably it wass invented before that cultural blossom in China. When did people learn to make strings? At least with the horses. So my guess is it comes from the rider cultures o the steppes between Ukraine aand Mongolia. There it's easy to spread the instrument to west, east and north. Also south, but there was more population with their own traditions. Like lute and sitar

In May 2017 I built a five string kantele strung with horsehair from a local horse. Sounds very special, very ancient, but very soft, too, so when there's an audience I need to amplify it. Works well, though.

The first string instrument is ... bow (weapon, tool for fire making, etc). If you connect a bow to any "sound box", like a vase or a hollow piece of wood, you practically have a proto-guitar / -kantele. This technology goes back maybe 70000 years.

Our "Nyckel harpa" is superior! Now let us battel! On a more serious note, I have seen the instrument, and heard it before, but just recently discovered it's origin, I'm impressed. I still think we stand, a tiny bit above you, sure you got amazing folk metal, and a few of the greats from black metal. But we still originated the black metal genre even though norway took it and went crazy with it, your most famous folk metal band Finntroll sings in Swedish because the think it sounds more "evil" which makes no sense because no matter how happy a finn is it will always sound like a threat. Now us sweds we pretty much rule the melodic metal scene. Okay that was just nonsense for fun, I'm a northern swed, actually only half swed, rest is norwegian/finnish, and the finnish ones are the ones we keep in contact with, they live around rovaniemi and there are stunning places there, like ridiculously beautifull places.

Really old versions of Kantele look nothing like the 38 string beast she is playing. Old once are 5-10 string types like pic in the link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantele#/media/File:Five_string_kanteles.jpg
@j.lahtinen75256 жыл бұрын
To hear the ancestor to this Kantele (which, as a design, I'd guess wouldn't be much more than a 100 years old), look up the video titled "Nuku Nuku - Ancient Finnish Lullaby" by Merja Soria. That Kantele is more like the ancient instrument. The versions with more strings (including base strings in some, and and even concert Kantles with levers) are much younger.

@amberhawke6 жыл бұрын
Uhh... no. The Finish kantele, Russian gusli, Latvian kokle,Estonian kannel and Lithuanian Kankle are essentially the same instrument. Either the Finno-Ugric tribes (Finns and Estonians) or the Baltic tribes (Latvians and Lithuanians) developed this instrument. The Slavs had nothing to do with it, as the Slavs were not in that area at that time. Most of what is now western Russia was dominated by the Balts until the Slavs pushed them out centuries later.
