Today marks the launch of two books from my Kantele-Making Series.
The first is the 5-String Kantele book, a print edition of my original 2004 e-book, updated and revised for 2025, with added QR codes to YouTube videos, along with plans full size at the back of the book in multi-page format to fit the compact 5.5” x 8.5 size. This is a guide to get you started in making kanteles.
The second book is my Kantele Making Plans book, that has all my kantele plans in a multi-page format in 8.5” by 11” size, 5-String, 11-String, 15-string, Piccolo Kantele, along with patterns for long and short-scale 10-string models)
