The Musical Sparrow Kalimba 17 Key Hollow in C Major
A great starter instrument. Hollow & lightweight. Short ring time, not too noisy. 17 keys. C Major.
The Musical Sparrow Hollow Timber Kalimba is made from Mahogany. It's a great introductory instrument that's lightweight and easy to hold. The Kalimba is a fun instrument to introduce any child or adult 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. We are also in the process of creating our own series of free educational material, but in the meantime, there's plenty of lessons online to learn how to play this simple instrument.
