Kalimbas are reed instruments that originate in southern Africa and can be found there in countless shapes and designs. Our Kalimba B11 'Melody' is carefully handcrafted from solid American cherry (black cherry). The surfaces are treated with vegetable oils and waxes and polished. The 11 reeds are precisely tuned to the G major scale, which means that a variety of well-known songs can be played. The "Melody" is also well suited for improvisation and intuitive playing.


When arranging the reeds, we mounted long and short reeds alternately for playing and sound reasons. The six shorter reeds were bent so that their ends are at a higher level than those of the long reeds, so that they can be easily reached by the thumbs. When playing the notes from low to high, the five long reeds are first plucked alternately from the middle outwards with both thumbs - the right thumb starts on reed number 6 - then the six short reeds, also from the middle outwards. The left thumb starts on reed number 5.


The Kalimba B11 electric model is equipped with a piezo pickup and a 6.35 mm jack socket. This allows direct sound pickup on the instrument without the need for an additional microphone.

Das Instrument ist super

Alles an dem instrument ist super. Es klingt toll über meinen Fender Gitarrenverstärker - besser als wenn ich die Tonabnahme via Mikrofon oder anderen angeklebten Systemen machen würde. Wie der andere Kommentar schon sagt: Elektrisch mit mehr als 11 Zungen wäre schon toll.

Tolles und vielseitiges Intrument

Pro: Ausführungsqualität, Klang, Vielseitigkeit, Versand und Service

Verbesserungspotentiale: Stimmwerkzeug sollte dabei sein, Kalimba mit mehr als 11 Tönen und Tonabnehmer wäre super
