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

Each Jouhikko is made from a single piece of wood, this is our principle.
For the top of the instrument, we use the highest quality resonant spruce, which is the key to the high-quality and deep sounding of all musical instruments.
All lyres are equipped with fine tuners- for precise and easy instrument tuning
And we install horsehair strings, which have their own special, archaic timbre on all our bowed lyres.
