Best Easy-to-Learn Musical Instrument
Kalimba with beautiful design & ethereal sound
The kalimba is modelled after the ancient African musical instrument called mbira. The varying styles of kalimba and mbira have endured for thousands of years and have had numerous layouts, designs, and tunings. As a result, this instrument produces a warm ethereal sound that feels "like nature in a box". And most importantly, the experience of playing the kalimba will genuinely help you to relax and unwind. This article talks about why the kalimba is a fantastic instrument for everyone!
Need a little help in choosing the right kalimba? Here is a little kalimba buyer's guide made just for you.
High Quality Material
Made with high-quality mahogany. The solid wood structure provides a well-balanced long lasting sound. Kalimba keys are made with selected ore steel bars, giving the tines high strength and durability.
Size 18cm x 13cm x 3.3cm
Weight 450g
Tuning
This Kalimba arrives conveniently pre-tuned in the key of C, allowing you to delve into play immediately upon receipt of your order. In addition, the Kalimba can stay in tune for an extensive period, meaning you won't have to worry about tuning when you're just starting to learn. Additionally, it can be retuned to any other scale you prefer.
Easy To Learn
No musical background? No problem at all! The notes engraved on the tines make following sheet music a breeze. To play, simply hold the instrument between your palms, then use your thumbs to pluck the keys. You will have a beautiful melody in no time!
Kalimba Design & Sound Quality
Generally speaking, the flat-board Kalimba produces bright and clear tones, standing out as the clearest sounding among different types. However, the hollow-body Kalimba is the most popular type due to its warm tone and long sustain.
The hollow design provides a unique "wah-wah" sound effect when you move your fingers around the soundhole in the middle, making it a delight to play.
On the other hand, the Acrylic Kalimba delivers a very clear tone as well. However, acrylic, as a material, doesn't vibrate as much as wood, meaning the sound produced by the Acrylic Kalimba is quieter compared to the wooden one.
As for the influence of wood type on the tone, it's not substantial but still noticeable. Importantly, the shape of the Kalimba has a more significant impact on the sound than the type of wood used.
Regardless of the differences in materials or shapes, the method of playing remains the same. Thus, choosing a Kalimba that features colour and design that you find most appealing would enhance the overall enjoyment of your playing experience!
Easy To Use
No need for any musical background, our Kalimbas can be played by any age group at any level. To play simply hold the instrument between the palms, then use your thumbs to pluck the keys. Some of our Kalimbas have the notes engraved into the instrument & all come with free note stickers!
