Free yourself with the music of Africa

Did you know that almost all the archaeological remains of the Thumb Piano justify that this Musical Instrument comes from sub-Saharan Africa? This small object turned out to be then used mainly in Zimbabwe for festive events or to speak with the dead. As soon as you have a Finger Piano in your hands, you are guaranteed to be connected to Africa with this little Instrument filled with historical tales.


Prefer a Sanza in untreated wood species for outstanding quality

Several poor quality Kalimbas are sometimes made from reconstituted wood. It is, in reality, to compress shavings in order to unite them with chemical glues dangerous for health. At Instruments du Monde, all of our wooden Thumb Pianos are made from raw materials. The Instruments are then more attractive visually, but above all, they do not include harmful products in the manufacturing process.
