Hello @boood, good for Finland! Seriously, it is important to get to know something about other cultures. I would like to learn more about Japanise culture!
Wow vilken vacker polska! Och fantastiskt fint spelat och sjunget. Det finns så många underbara finska låtar och nu har jag hört en till! Jag talar inte mer än två ord finska men den här måste jag lära mig. Tack!
Love this. I sing this song to my 4 year old most nights at bedtime. It's in a songbook with music that I'm fairly sure you are one of the musicians playing
Yes, this song is for sure good also at bedtime. Is the songbook called as Soiva Kansanlaulukirja? If yes, ours Freija band is playing there, including me!
@@lassilogren yes, that's the one! Great book, really special. My boy is half Finnish half Irish. The book has really helped me improve my Finnish, in pronunciation if not in comprehension. Kudos to you and Freija in making such a wonderful book!
@DianKahn thank you! This Finnish polska song could be a good song to start the day. Still, I would like to ask (because of your bird emoiji), did you ment my new Outdoor video (with the bird singing) as a start for the morning? :)
@@lassilogren I love this sweet polska. I play with a community fiddle orchestra in Montpelier, Vermont USA. We transcribed the tune for violin and played it together on Zoom earlier this week. Tagelharpa has a lovely archaic sound.
This is absolutely lovely! Usually when I search for jouhiko the results are dark metal/rock music. Harsh sounds, even for a bagpiper and hurdygurdy owner like myself.
Hei @Jacob! The tuning is the most common traditional Finnish jouhikko tuning C#4, G#3, D#4. I’m fingering mostly the D#4 string. It could be aswell D4, A3, E4.
Hi Gomilix! This my version is so far only in YT 🙂 Here are some other versions on Spotify: spotify.link/VOZjESZR2Db spotify.link/T1WvCU1R2Db spotify.link/mp6TXVPR2Db spotify.link/qxTnqX3R2Db
Hello @Lorenzomutal725! From Wiki: The jouhikko (Finnish: [ˈjou̯hikːo]) is a traditional, two- or three-stringed bowed lyre, from Finland and Karelia. Its strings are traditionally of horsehair. The playing of this instrument died out in the early 20th century but has been revived and there are now a number of musicians playing it.
Hi ViktorE-h9k! I tried to have more hobbit feeling into another melody: I wrote this one for the musical The Lord of the Rings: ruclips.net/video/RiuRXLo1MaM/видео.htmlsi=DaiVGYFh-yEJNZMz
From Wiki: The polska is a family of music and dance forms shared by the Nordic countries: called polsk in Denmark, polka or polska in Estonia, polska in Sweden and Finland, and by several different names in Norway.

This melody really draws you in and stays in your mind in a delightful way
Yes, the melody is a catchy one!
I don't know why but I show a place long forgotten bless you
Hi, this melody has travelled long time. Maybe it’s bringing something to us from the past.
I accidentally listened to this song while shopping at a department store. The melody is very beautiful and peaceful.
Hi DAD135,
Nice to hear that!
I composed this tune at a supermarket:)

Listening through all your videos a second time, and I think this is one of my favorites! It's so calming and cheerful.
So nice to hear that you feel this song calming and cheerful at the same time. The melody is also one of my favorites!
Wow vilken vacker polska! Och fantastiskt fint spelat och sjunget. Det finns så många underbara finska låtar och nu har jag hört en till! Jag talar inte mer än två ord finska men den här måste jag lära mig. Tack!

You inspire me to make myself a Jouhikko)
Приятно услышать!
@@lassilogren Last year I made myself a Kravik Lyre and a Tagelharpa, inspired by the work of Einar Selvik
@@Panzerfaustpatrone You are hard-working builder! 👍
@@lassilogren A little bit) But you play like I can't yet. More practice and study...
Have a good time with your jouhikko!
Fantastic! Lovely tune and lovely playing/singing! ❤

I´m not one of those who can play trombone :)
Great!
Thank you @frederikgroborsch3367!
sweet job
Thanks @bearshield!
💪👏🤗🤝
😊🙏
This is absolutely lovely!
Usually when I search for jouhiko the results are dark metal/rock music. Harsh sounds, even for a bagpiper and hurdygurdy owner like myself.
Thank you @chang’sstuff! Yeah, there are quite many samples with bigger instruments / lower tunings. Smaller jouhikkos are more handy to play.
This is gorgeous!
Thanks Nick!
Hienosti äijä kyllä vetää!
Kiitos @petrihynninen!
So Beautiful! Thank you!
Glad to hear, thank you #R.P.!
👍
A rare sight for YT -- a Jouhikko melody that isn't a dirge.
Hahaa, I have heard some other happy melodies too.
Lovely :)
Thank you @SarahLoughran-Fiddle!
Have you already played that melody with your fiddle?
@@lassilogrenNo I haven't, but I'd love to. It's really beautiful. :)
i'd love to learn this on mine! it's very easy to listen to. What is the Jouhikko tuned to?
Hei @Jacob! The tuning is the most common traditional Finnish jouhikko tuning C#4, G#3, D#4. I’m fingering mostly the D#4 string. It could be aswell D4, A3, E4.
Hi, I love this! Thank you!
May I ask what tuning it is in?
Hi,
Thanks @EddyElsey!
The tuning here is C#4, G#3, D#4.
D#4 is the string I’m fingering the most.
@@lassilogren Thanks so much for replying!
I ❤️ MOOMIN
Me too!
I want this song on my phone! Spotify or bandcamp??

Lol.. no need for the stick.

sounds like from hobbit

Why polish?
From Wiki: The polska is a family of music and dance forms shared by the Nordic countries: called polsk in Denmark, polka or polska in Estonia, polska in Sweden and Finland, and by several different names in Norway.
@@lassilogren Aaa, I see now, in the past it was associated with Poland, that's why it is called like that hahae.
@jakubolszewski exactly!
очень классно) и песня, и исполнение. благодарю)
Thank you @AmmeziaAztec!
