Our largest "star" in the firmament of membrane-mounted kalimbas. The octagonal kalimba also scores with a very long-lasting, warm sound and the best workmanship. The 13 reeds sit firmly on the frame, which is tightly covered with goatskin, and the C major pentatonic tuning is a great invitation to improvise. The semi-open construction allows for wonderful, long-sounding wah-wah effects to be played by moving up and down under a firm base. The instrument has an almost unbreakable stability, which will inspire at home, on the road and on stage. Quality, tuning and price really leave nothing to be desired.
Tuning: F4-E5-D4-C5-B3-A4-G3-G4-A3-B4-C4-D5-E4
Kalimba Tuning - Simple and Efficient!
Anyone who plays a Kalimba regularly will certainly have noticed that the instrument begins to sound "inharmonic" or "weird" over time. Then the moment has come when you ask yourself, "What's going on here and how can I bring it back to its original condition?"
From the toy section to the stage: How the Kalimba became famous in the US and Europe
Looking at the European museum catalogue for musical instruments MIMO (Musical Instrument Museums Online), one can find almost 170 musical instruments under the keyword “lamellaphones in Africa”. Thereby one is often very different from another one.
