Kenyan Wooden Kalimba Thumb Piano

Kalimbas, mbiras, karimbas, finger pianos...all are names for the same African percussion instrument from the Lamellophone instrument family.

These rustic mbiras are created around a hollow wooden box with traditional burned designs. The box is held with both hands, and the recycled metal tines fitted with tin can buzzers are plucked to create an unmistakable African sound.
