FOLKCRAFT KANTELE.
 |
|
| Click to enlarge image(s) |
Folkcraft Kantele - Sugar Maple Body With Engelmann Spruce Soundboard. This Unique and beautiful Kantele was handmade in the United States by the two-generation team of Folkcraft Luthiers.
The body of this instrument is sugar maple, which is renowned for its hardness (mechanically) and for its bright, reflective properties in instrument making. Folkcraft paired the maple body of this instrument with Engelmann spruce. Thus, Your Kantele will have the bold, bright sound of sugar maple combined with the high-frequency brightness of the Engelmann spruce soundboard. (When we say bright, we are talking smooth projection, not ugly high-frequency distortion.)
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 prefer.
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, Ivory enjoys performing with the instrument on her lap, as this allows easy use of both hands while creating music and singing.
Did we mention this is made in the USA? It is!

ROSIN 2 PACK
 |

| Click to enlarge image(s) |
Rosin Ideal for the psaltery, rebec and dilruba. When your rosin is new, rough up the surface with a file, knife or edge of a key. Do not draw the bow back and forth across the rosin; this will result in ruts in your rosin. To avoid ruts, and to wear the rosin evenly, draw the hair of the bow across the rosin in tight little circles. Make sure to cover all the hairs, the full length of the bow. You have enough rosin when the hairs develop a white, dull, build-up. Before you play, use your thumb nail to flick the hairs of the bow to remove the excess rosin.

![Dear Sheryl,
I received my Dulcimer yesterday (Black Walnut, Folk-Roots Hourglass
D-series), and I couldn't be more pleased with the product and the
service.
Anytime you purchase an instrument you've never played before it's a
bit of an act of faith, and I am absolutely elated at the results.
- It is not only the best sounding (with respect to tonality and
intonation), but the best looking mountain dulcimer I have
encountered. I also really appreciate the inclusion of the C.D. and
auto tuner. - Excellent!
Thanks to everyone at Celtic Renaissance for the advice along the way.
