Kalimbas are reed instruments that originated in southern Africa and can be found there in countless shapes and designs. Our Kalimba B15 is made from solid American cherry (black cherry) in careful
handwork
here in Walsrode. The surfaces are treated with
vegetable oils
and waxes and polished. The
15 sound reeds
are precisely tuned in the
G major scale,
which allows a wide variety of songs to be played. However, the Kalimba B15 is just as suitable for improvising and intuitive playing as well as for chordal accompaniment of melodies.
factory tuning:
G major (F#" - E' - D" - C' - B'* - A - G' - G - A' - B* - C" - D' - E" - F#' - G")
