This kalimba (kuh-LIM-buh), also known as mbira in southern Africa or thumb piano, is the largest gourd kalimba available from Ghana. The oversized resonating chamber and extra long keys create a deep, very resonant, sustained tone when the keys are struck. With the keys being tunable by altering their length, you can create pentatonic, diatonic, or other preferred tuning system. This Africa Heartwood Project instrument is built to be strong and durable, is covered by our satisfaction guarantee, and features:
- Solid wood top mounted on a strong, rounded gourd base
- 10-12 adjustable spring metal keys securely mounted on a metal bridge
- One to three holes in the top for amplification and resonance
- Durable hand made construction
- Imported directly from Ghana
