Artist's Comments
One of a set of three kantele-like zithers I made recently.
It's got 14 strings, and it's made from scraps from the boat builders... Oak, ash & heat treated birch.
Finish with roslagsmahogny (?sp in English?), a mixture of turpentine, tar and linseedoil.
The sides have a carved inlay inspired by ob ugric peoples, the Khanti and the Mansi (also called the Ostyak and the Vogul in the past). You can't see it in the pic, but the design on the other side is a negative from the one you can see here.
All carving & surface tooling made with my selfmade chisels, oh the love

I would like to hear the sounds of your instruments!
Good work!

but there is not really so much to it, the tricky part is the stringing, otherwise you can have pretty much anything for the body and soundboard.
any old wood box would do, I just wanted to make it a bit more in the traditional way.
but in a strictly practical sense, the world is already full of thin walled containers and rigid plates... actually I'm more interested in making instruments out of dumpstered materials.. but since the school is for historical crafts...
but I plan to use all of these in the future in my compositions... and I might be tempted to make some soundbites if I have too much free time at hand sometime soon (not likely, though, phew!)

we've ten stringers planned next, but at least i'll be keeping an open box design... my friend's quite keen on building a koto though, any chance you might know a decent link in english on that?
