Hluru Kalimba 17 Key Bear in C Major
Solid acrylic in the shape of a bear. 17 keys. C Major.
- Easy to learn instruments
- Perfect for music therapy
- Relaxing activity for the whole family
The Hluru Acrylic Bear Kalimba is a fun instrument to introduce a child to the world of music. Also known as a thumb piano, the kalimba is held with 2 hands and the stainless steel tines are plucked with your thumbnails to produce a light etherial tone like a music box or a xylophone being struck gently with a felt hammer. The kalimba is peaceful and relaxing to play and makes a great music therapy instrument.
The names and numbers of each note are embossed in to the tines to make the instrument easy to play for beginners to experts alike.
WHO DOES THIS KALIMBA SUIT?
While anyone can play this kalimba, the design is specifically targetted towards children. It's an easy introduction to playing a musical instrument without the big learning curve or expense. Results to play a song from beginning to end will come quicker with an instrument like the kalimba than traditional instruments children learn like the piano, guitar, ukulele or even the recorder.
WHAT DOES THIS KALIMBA COME WITH?
1 kalimba
1 tuning hammer
1 drawstring storage bag
1 keyring from The Musical Sparrow. The QR code on the back takes you to the Get Started Guide with free lessons, instrument care and performance videos to inspire.
TONE - Solid kalimbas have a slightly cleaner tone than their hollow counterparts with a slightly lower volume as well. This kalimba has a warm and clear energy with long ringing tines as you pluck them (getting a little shorter in the ring duration once you get to the higher notes). Touching it against other surfaces is a great way to experiment with louder volume and different tones. Solid actylic kalimbas have an every so slightly more muted tone than the solid timber kalimbas. Only someone with a trained musical ear will pick the difference in tone.
MADE FROM - solid acrylic & stainless steel tines.
TUNING - C Major, starting from F3 (middle C on a piano) through to E5. This instrument will need tuning from time to time. Scan the QR code on the magnet or keyring provided for instructions.
SIZE - 13cm wide x 15cm high x 2cm deep (body only) or 4cm deep (including tines)
WEIGHT - 485g (instrument only)
