An Mbira in ecological and responsible materials
Some poor quality Thumb Pianos often turn out to be made from reconstituted wood. It is, indeed, to pack chips in order to assemble them with chemical glues dangerous for health. At Instruments du Monde, all of our wooden Sanzas happen to be made from raw materials. The Instruments are therefore visually prettier, but above all, they do not introduce dangerous components into the manufacturing process.
