Mahogany is actually not a particular tree, but a category comprising more than 250 species of tropical trees of the Meliaceae family whose color is red, pink or even auburn. It turns out that this wood is particularly used in cabinetmaking (for the manufacture of tables or furniture) and in lutherie (for Musical Instruments ) because it has very good acoustic capacities. This solid Mahogany Kalimba with resonance box will therefore be perfect, because you will clearly perceive all the sounds that will emerge from it while you play it.

Offered as a gift  :

  • A fabric bag to store the Instrument
  • A tuning key
  • A set of stickers to facilitate identification of blades
  • A sheet music booklet

    Easy to use that suits everyone

    It is no coincidence that the Kalimba happens to be called a Thumb Piano . Each metal key of the Instrument coincides with a single and unique note of Music as in the keyboard of a standard Piano. This will ensure that, once you press these keys, you produce the exact note you want without the slightest risk of making a mistake. In addition, the Mbira happens to be a gift that satisfies both adults and children who appreciate its simplified use and which allows them to very quickly compose and play songs.

     

     

    Soothe yourself with the help of a healthy, chemical-free object

    Several Sanzas (another name for the Kalimba) of poor quality are sometimes made from chipboard. It is, in truth, to crush sawdust in order to assemble them using chemical glues harmful to health. At Instruments du Monde, all of our wooden finger pianos are made from raw materials. Instruments are therefore more visually appealing, but essentially they don’t put nefarious components into their crafting process.
