The Hluru Solid American Walnut Kalimba has a superior clear tone due to the quality of the timber. They ring longer but with a lower volume than their hollow counterparts, and you can feel the gentle vibration of the timber in your hands as you play them. They are a pure joy to play.
It is tuned to the key of C Major with 17 keys starting from C4 (which is Middle C on a piano) through to E5. Also known as a thumb piano, the kalimba is held with 2 hands and the stainless steel tines are plucked with your thumbnails to produce a light etherial tone like a music box or a xylophone being struck gently with a felt hammer. The kalimba is peaceful and relaxing to play and makes a great music therapy instrument.
The names and numbers of each note are embossed in to the tines to make the instrument easy to play for beginners to experts alike.
WHO DOES THIS KALIMBA SUIT?
Those who like a clear and angelic tone and anyone who has a love of beautiful things and wants an easy introduction to playing a musical instrument without the big learning curve or expense. For an adult, it makes a fun and thoughtful gift for someone to keep on their desk at work for some stress relief, to wind down at the end of the day, or a musical experience shared with a friend, family member or child. For a child, it's a great way to introduce a musical instrument with some basic training. Results to play a song from beginning to end will come quicker with an instrument like the kalimba than traditional instruments children learn like the piano, guitar, ukulele or even the recorder.
WHAT DOES THIS KALIMBA COME WITH?
1 kalimba
1 tuning hammer
1 carry case
Stand purchased separately.
TONE - Solid kalimbas have a slightly cleaner tone than their hollow counterparts with a slightly lower volume as well. This kalimba has a warm and clear energy with long ringing tines as you pluck them (getting a little shorter in the ring duration once you get to the higher notes). Touching it against other surfaces is a great way to experiment with louder volume and different tones.
MADE FROM - solid walnut & stainless steel tines.
TUNING - C Major, starting from C4 (middle C on a piano) through to E5. This instrument will need tuning from time to time. Scan the QR code on the magnet or keyring provided for instructions. See notes above about retuning this Kalimba to the key of F Major.

WEIGHT - 490g (instrument only)
