Folkcraft Kantele - Hickory Body With Butternut Soundboard

Click on the image above to see a larger version.



Item number 2360028BA
Regular Price: $331.66, Our Price: $298.49
You will save $33.17


This kantele was handmade in the United States by the two-generation team of Folkcraft luthiers.
 
The body of this instrument is made of hickory, grown here in Indiana just a few miles from our shop. Hickory sands and finishes beautifully, but most importantly, it provides a strong, reflective back and sides for our kanteles. Combined with a butternut (white walnut) soundboard, this kantele has just the right amount of brightness, richness, and sustain to please the most fussy of performers.
 
With fifteen strings, you get a full two octave D major scale. You could easily tune your kantele to play a two octave C major scale if you preferred.
 
To play the instrument, you can hold it upright against your body, with the strings facing away from you, or you can lay the instrument across your lap with the strings facing upwards. While the vertical position may be more traditional, we enjoy performing with the instrument on the lap, as this allows easy use of both hands while creating music.

Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton was America's first great jazz composer. As his popularity as a jazz pianist increased during the 1920s, Morton's music was recorded for at-home enjoyment on the player piano through the use of paper "piano rolls." Morton made 16 "rolls," each faithfully recording his complex style and methods. This book presents to you 6 transcriptions made from these intricate "rolls" along with an informative biography of Morton and history of the making of these transcriptions.
