Escape with the sounds of the African continent
The Kalimba is a small Musical Instrument of the idiophone family whose first traces date back more than 3 millennia to the West African seaside. He was entitled Mbira or Sanza and played a significant role among several African peoples of the Zambezi Valley. Through its harmonious, atypical and unparalleled sounds, you will escape for sure to discover the African musical culture.
Join the closed club of Mbira players who use it from a care perspective
Music therapy consists of the use of music and instruments in a healing process. This serious practice happens to be supervised by an official federation and exercised by approved professionals. Usually participating, among other places, in hospitals, therapists use the Mbira which proves to be extremely suitable for this practice. By offering yourself this Instrument, you too can take advantage of its tremendous soothing potential.
Choose a Sanza in untreated wood species for terrific quality
Some Sanzas of deplorable quality sometimes turn out to be produced from reconstituted wood. It is, to tell the truth, to compact sawdust in order to group them together using chemical glues dangerous for health. At Instruments du Monde, all of our wooden finger pianos are produced from raw materials. The Instruments are then more visually pleasing, but in particular, they do not introduce harmful compounds into the manufacturing process.
The Sanza, a Simple Instrument to Discover
It is no coincidence that the Kalimba happens to be called Thumb Piano . Each metal blade of the Instrument coincides with a single note of Music as with the keyboard of a traditional Piano. This will ensure that when you press these blades, you will faithfully create the note you are looking for without any chance of error. In addition, the Sanza proves to be a gift that satisfies both adults and children who appreciate its easy use which guarantees them to very quickly write and interpret melodies.
