The kalimba is an African thumb piano, also known as mbira, likembe, sanza or finger piano. It creates mesmerizing sounds from flexible metal strips of various lengths with mahogany wood as a resonance box. In history, tribes played the kalimba to drive away evil or to pray for rain in a time of drought.
Today, adults and children play the kalimba as a thumb piano for fun and recreation , making it one of the most popular instruments in many parts of the world.
This beautiful Kalimba instrument is made from a single board, which is made from a whole piece of mahogany wood. Most high-end acoustic instruments use this material because it produces crisp and clear vibrations.
This finger instrument is then carefully assembled and crafted to perfection by a team of experts. The wooden casing and 17 metal keys ensure that the tones last longer and you can create a clear, bright melody.
When you receive your own kalimba, it is already ready to play. You will be given a tuning hammer to help you correct the pitch if necessary. With this you can produce higher or lower tones by tapping on the metal keys .
This involves hammering the metal keys for a shorter time in order to achieve a higher pitch. If you want a lower pitch, you can achieve this by playing longer. To play in a standard key, you can use a real tuner or download mobile tuner apps available from the App Store or Google Play. It is delivered tuned to the international standard of C. Tuning is only necessary if the keys are accidentally moved during transport or frequent use.
