Dear Virilis,
wow Kantele...with hole or without, I mean this gusli-thinnie or a modern one.
I think they date back to the 13th cent., so says my husband...
Well, I think if you use goat-strings it would be the most authentic, I guess you are using metall-strings at the moment?
But I think a Kantele owns not enough sound-body for resonanz to play goat-strings. Maybe you should try hemp-strings are horsehair-strings.
Do you play with a plektrum? You should maybe try.
The tuning is very good if you wanna play with other musical instruments are just be able to play most pieces, I think changing tuning to often on a string-instrument harms the tuning.
So, open tuning is the most logical. :wink:
Which wood is your Kantele of?
