About This Instrument
The kalimba descends from the African mbira — an instrument of ceremony, divination, and daily music-making across the continent for millennia. This seventeen-key version spans a full two-octave range, its steel tines mounted on a hollow wooden body that amplifies and warms each note. The instrument requires no tuning knowledge to begin playing; its scale is pre-set to sound harmonious in nearly any combination, making it as welcoming to a first-time player as to an experienced musician.
