{"product_id":"the-art-of-the-finnish-kantele","title":"The Art of the Finnish Kantele","description":"Martti Pokela, Eeva-Leena Sariola and Matti Kontio are among the foremost players of the Finnish kantele, a folk instrument of the psaltery type. Almost nothing is known about early Kantele repertory, beyond a probable narrow melodic range. In more modern times the kantele has become a box-shaped instrument of 12 to 46 strings fastened to wood or iron wrest pins, tuned diatonically and encompassing 3-4 octaves. \"The Art of the Finnish Kantele\" presents 17 kantele pieces, both traditional melodies and new compositions. Played on 5, 9-and 36-string kanteles and the jouhikko (bowed lyre)","brand":"ARC Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46024026718442,"sku":"5019396257320","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2841410.jpg?v=1778309014","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-finnish-kantele","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
