The Meinl Sonic Energy Sound Hole Kalimba is a great-sounding melodic instrument with unique characteristics, not only in sound but also in design. Enjoy your beautiful melodies with 17 notes on the scale of C Major. The material is high-quality mahogany wood with a matte design. The traditional sound hole of this Kalimba creates warmer tones and a longer sustain. The Kalimba comes with a case so you can protect it from scratches and other damage. To remove stains from your Kalimba and to keep it safe afterward, a microfiber cloth and a linen bag are also included. Besides that, we have added a tuning hammer in case you want to retune your Kalimba. The Kalimba originally comes from Africa. It is a centuries-old instrument, also known as "Mbira" and "Sansa" or simply "thumb piano". There are metal reeds placed on a wooden resonance box, which are plucked with the thumbs to produce a metallically fine sound.
