^It was way sad; I almost can't stand to watch it... Good thing it's not a true story.

[...]The kantele (above) is another zither from Finland although it is not bowed. In the Finnish creation epic called Kalevela, the first kantele was made from the jawbone of a giant pike fish by the sage/hero Väinämöinen. The strings were provided by the tail hairs of a stallion belonging to a spirit-being called Hiisi.[...]
What year did they make these?..
