Jouhikko is a traditional Finland and Karelia instrument.
Unlike tagelharpa, it sounds a little louder, due to the increased body.
Also, this instrument is a little easier to learn, due to fewer quantity playing strings.
This is a bowed lyre, which has its own deep timbre of sounding and is suitable for solo playing or for playing in a group.
Its overtone-rich sound is great for creating a Nordic atmosphere of ancient skalds and entering trance states.

We will make the same instrument as you see in the photo for you.
But it will have its own small differences and unique features since there are no two identical trees in the world.
Approximate manufacturing time will be from 4 to 10 weeks.
Depending on the current workload of the workshop

We can also make small changes to the existing design (change runes, resonator holes, add engravings, etc.) For clarification, just write us or leave a comment at the order.
Also, if you want us to paint your instrument in a different color or leave it natural - leave a comment at the order

The quality and craftsmanship is amaizing. I got all I wanted and more. The person I was contacting with during the making the Taglharpa and the delivery was very nice and helpful. He was informing me with every step of making the instrument! Would recomend!!
