Our little "star" in the firmament of membrane-mounted kalimbas. The mini octagon kalimba also shines with a very long-lasting, warm sound, the best workmanship and is also very easy to play for small hands. The 9 reeds sit firmly on the frame, which is tightly covered with goatskin, and the A minor pentatonic tuning invites playful improvisation. The semi-open design allows 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.

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?"
After reading this blog post, you'll have the know-how you need to make your Kalimba sound clean again.
Looking at the European museum catalogue for musical instruments MIMO, one can find almost 170 musical instruments under the keyword “lamellaphones in Africa”. Thereby one is often very different from another one. All instruments belong to one category for which we (Non-Africans) commonly use the generic term “kalimba”.
