The kannel serves as a national symbol of Estonia; Jakob Hurt's 1875-1876 publication of Estonian folksongs was even entitled Vana Kannel. The kannel was legendarily played by the Estonian god of song Vanemuine, and the Estonian national epic Kalevipoeg (published in the 1850s) begins with the line: Laena mulle kannelt, Vanemuine! ("Vanemuine, lend me your kannel!"). #estonia #estonianfolk #folk #ancientmusic #wooden #musically #strings #gusli #kokle #kantele #kannel #kanklės https://www.instagram.com/p/B4OwLjtADl8/?igshid=10fnjmq3u34rp
