This Kalimba is made in India!

Made from Koa tonewood, hence the name Koa Kalimba.

This is a typical Kalimba with excellent sound.

'Electro pick-up' model option with pickup system in the bridge!

The look and finish are of high quality in terms of beautiful carvings with Indian motifs and overall finish.

The Kalimba is tuned in C major and has 17 reeds with the following note arrangement (from left to right): D, B, G, E, C, A, F, D, C, E, G, B, D, F, A, C, E.

Since the delivery includes a cloth bag and a tuning hammer, the Kalimba (instructions are included) can easily be retuned yourself.

The Kalimba is a wonderful instrument, with a sweet and very harmonious sound, which can easily be played anywhere as it does not require electricity and is very handy.

The playing style is generally done with the thumbs, hence the colloquial term thumb piano. The sound is then generated by the actuation of the steel tongues and their vibratory impulse, which is approximately multiplied by the wooden resonating body.

Thanks to the different lengths of the steel tongues, different intensity impulses can be given and different tones are created.

For example, a short steel reed produces a higher-pitched, louder sound, while longer reeds produce a softer, quieter sound. The harmonious arrangement of these reeds ensures the instrument's atmosphere.

Overall, a kalimba is a perfect instrument for beginners that promises immediate playing pleasure.
