Kannel is not Zither, eighter kantele. Folk instruments names are untranslatable, as they are very different instruments. (also as guitar is not a lyre and horn is not a trumpet) As a teacher, I would say, the article is in very-very bad condition. A would say, its not an article, its a disaster! Wrong in facts and formulations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.28.105.74 ( talk) 22:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Should we mention Metsatöll somewhere? I can't quite figure out where to mention them, though. Aarnepolkusin 20:17, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

The Herring is a somewhat mythical being in Estonia.
It's a well known old folk song and should be mentioned as a notable example. It's called "Heeringas elas kuival maal" ("(The) herring lived on dry land").
A rough retelling of the song (not a literal translation, but a good retelling of the infrormation): In the ancient time the herring used to have legs and live on dry land. It used to destroy Vermin, like Rats and it was kept like a cat. One time a two masted Sailing ship was transporting a large load of Salt. Back then salt was expensive. Some unit of it called "saam" (or something like that) cost 100 of something in gold. There was a herring aboard the ship. The specific herring liked to eat salt, so it started to tunnel its way around the salt sacks. Eventually it accidentally chewed its way through the ships wooden hull, causing it to sink. This angered Neptune (the god of sea), who said to the herring: "Hey herring, because you chewed a hole into the ship and sunk the new ship, you will now have to live in seawater as punishment." The salt from the ship was released into the sea, resulting in the seas now having a salt composition.

There's countless more similarly obscure sites, but I'm not gonna list them all. I think I've proven that it's relevant to estonian culture. GMRE ( talk) 15:34, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
