5 string piccolo kantele
This small sized kantele is tuned an octave higher than standard 5 string instruments. Carved from solid alder and finished with linseed oil.

Makes a great gift for a child or someone who already owns a larger kantele.

Can also be used as a travel kantele for practicing whilst away from home!

5 string kantele
This traditional 5 string kantele is similar to museum models and has an open underside which results in a more resonant sound. It is constructed from separate pieces of alder and finished with linseed oil.

11 string kantele
This kantele has a resonant, bottomless design, constructed from separate pieces of alder and finished with linseed oil. In Finland, the 11 string model is now the most popular next step for kantele students moving up from the 5 string kantele.

19 string kantele
A large, open bottomed kantele with two octaves of melody strings, like having a piccolo, 5 and 11 string kantele all in one! And the addition of four bass drone strings which give the kantele a full and dynamic tone, ideal for folk music.
