tehasepõhist

Tehasepõhist is a term used in Estonian to describe a type of traditional Estonian folk music that is characterized by its use of the tehas (factory) or tehasepill (factory instrument) as a primary instrument. The tehas is a type of percussion instrument that is typically made from a hollowed-out wooden block or a metal container, and it is played by striking it with a mallet or a stick. The sound produced by the tehas is a deep, resonant tone that is often used to provide a rhythmic foundation for the music.

Tehasepõhist music is often performed in a group setting, with multiple tehasepill players providing a complex and layered sound. The music is typically accompanied by other traditional Estonian instruments, such as the kannel (a type of flute) and the viiul (a type of violin). The lyrics of tehasepõhist songs often tell stories or convey messages related to Estonian culture, history, or social issues.

Tehasepõhist music has its roots in the rural communities of Estonia, where it was often used to accompany work and social activities. Today, tehasepõhist is still performed in traditional folk music ensembles and at cultural events, and it continues to be an important part of Estonian cultural heritage. The term "tehasepõhist" can also refer to the style of music itself, as well as the instruments and techniques used to create it.
