This kalimba (kuh-LIM-buh) is a very well built thumb piano that has seven keys. Each one is made from a smooth, sanded coconut shell, topped with a piece of solid wood and a metal bridge. Playable out of the box, but can also be tuned by gently loosening the screws, moving the tines in (higher pitch) or out (lower pitch), and tightening the screws. The tines can also be easily re positioned to give more or less room between them, for your playing comfort. The kalimba is also known as a thumb piano, and is derived from the more complex South African mbira, and is played by plucking the keys with the thumbs of each hand whilst holding the coconut body in the palms. The sound created is very melodic and resonant, very "tribal" sounding. Covered by our satisfaction guarantee, this kalimba features: * SIZE IS 3" TALL X 10 X 7. Just right for small hands or adult hands to handle and play. * 7 tunable metal keys securely mounted on a metal bridge - Tune to your preference * One hole in the top for amplification and resonance - Sounds louder than it looks * Hand crafted. Well built. Great sound. Artwork by hand. * Each one is hand crafted by cultural artisans, so minor variations in design will exist * As each coconut is unique, the size and shape of the kalimba body will also have minor variations. ----

The turtle was larger than expected. It was a gift and the recipient loved it! Bonus is it can be tuned.

This is absolutely amazing! I thought it would be smaller for some reason but am pleasantly surprised. The craftsmanship is beautiful and it's easy to handle as an instrument. Two of the notes sound the same, but I believe that can be adjusted. Otherwise, it's in tune. Stunning piece, it's going to make a great present.
