Description

This traditional African kalimba or "finger piano" features a hollow box body made from renewable wood with rustic burn designs with strips of recycled metal used for keys.

The thumb piano is an African musical instrument, a type of plucked idiophone common throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Thumb pianos traditionally consist of a wooden board to which metal tines of varying lengths are affixed. The longest tines are typically in the center, with shorter (and thus higher-pitched) tines arranged in ascending order towards both sides of the instrument. The thumb piano is most commonly held in both hands, with both thumbs being used to pluck tines either simultaneously or in turn. It may be used as a lead instrument or for accompanying other instruments or vocals.

Great fun for children, use as an accompaniment whilst telling stories, learn basic notes, take on holiday, to festivals the uses are endless.

A traditional African kalimba or "finger piano" approx 17 x 9 x 5 cm / 7 x 3.5 x 2 inches.

Great fun for adults and children, use as an accompaniment whilst telling stories, learn basic notes, take on holiday, to festivals.
