Jouhikko
The jouhikko (Karelian jouhikko, Finnish jouhikas) is a Karelian and Finnish bow instrument, 'bowed kantele'. The jouhikko corresponds to a dugout egg- or boat-shaped backet with a wide figured fingerboard with a special cut to insert the hand. There are figured jouhikkos looking like a female figure (villages of Impilahti and Kolatselga), and with rounded mandolin-like bodies (Jyväskylä, Middle Finland)...
