ABOUT
Stani Steinbock, founder of the Ethno-prog group Kra in Finland/Sweden, nowadays writes music for the five-string kantele, the Finnish national instrument (which is also the national instrument of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) and even plays it. He also plays live, alone since 2012, and has recorded a CD together with a bunch of very competent musicians. Stani also plays the mandolin and sometimes even his once-main instrument, the guitar. He also plays medieval music in an ensemble called á Austrvega, just as a hobby.
