2005 - Maker of the traditional musical instruments

Main purpose was to introduce still living craftsmen who make and/or repair traditional musical instruments and to value them and their work as the carriers of musical tradition.   Also we wanted to draw publicity’s attention to the fact that besides folk-singers, folk-dancers and folk-musicians, makers of traditional musical instruments also play an important part in traditional culture – they pass on material (musical instruments) as well as the spiritual (music) traditional culture. Our aims were also to introduce the making of musical instruments as the separate branch of folklore and handicraft, and to encourage making those instruments in schools and folklore groups.   The ways and means to achive our purposes  To map, question and document craftsmen who create and/or repair traditional musical instruments To collect information about groups, camps and other movements, who make traditional musical instruments To publish a booklet of still living craftsmen who make musical instruments, and to give a short overview about their life and work To organize cultural events to encourage communication between such craftsmen in order to exchange and broaden their knowledge and experience and to popularize their activity in society Why do we do that?  The availability of musical instruments depends directly on the craftsman who makes them. Of course, we can make the simplest instruments by ourselves but making and keeping in order a little more complicated ones needs special skills. It also requires the knowledge of cultural tradition. A craftsman, who has made an instrument, passes on with his work material (musical instrument) and spiritual (music) folklore tradition at the same time.  Making musical instruments should be handled as a separate phenomenon of folklore and handicraft. Up until now it has not got as much attention in Estonian folklore movement as it should have had. This is why Estonian National Folklore Council has announced the project of the year 2005 to be -  ”Maker of Traditional Musical Instruments – Bearer of Material and Intangible Cultural Tradition’’. This year is dedicated to the 130. birthday of the well-known concertina maker August Teppo.   Expectations: We hope that craftsmen, who make traditional musical instruments, and their activity has been documented Information about instrument makers and repairers is public and available to researchers and everybody who is interested (booklet, database) Children and youth are more interested in the art of making musical instruments Hinnatud siis tasub tellida tegemine professionaalsetelt tegijatelt kodulehtede tegemine mis sisaldab kõiki kodulehtede töid alates kodulehtede kavandamisest kuni sealhulgas ka visuaaldisaini valmistamine professionaalsete disainerite tasub silmas pidada, et on kaalukaimaks teguriks, millisel määral kodulehe nähtavus aitab turunduseesmärke saavutada kodulehtede tegemine professionaalne kodulehe valmistamine tunnustatud ja visuaalselt heal tasemel .. korraliku ja atraktiivse kodulehe tegemine aga ka kasutajasõbralike ning lihtsalt kasutatavate kodulehtede valmistamine originaalse visuaaldisainiga kodulehekülje tegemine e-poe tegemine on heaks võimaluseks tooteid tutvustada, vaata lähemalt e-poe tegemine põhjalikumalt saab e-poe tegemine aidata ülevaatlikku lugemist täpsete ja iseloomulikevaata lisaks ka Tõlketeenused kiirelt ja alati tähtajaks valmis
