Lovingly handmade in Germany from solid American black cherry wood. Polished with natural oils and waxes. Seventeen metal tines are precision tuned to the notes of the C Major scale (the white keys on a piano). D - B - G - E - C - A - F - D - C - E - G - B - D - F - A - C - E. This allows most of your favourite melodies to be played - a true musical instrument. The intuitive layout makes it easy to sound musical for beginners, but allows advanced players to milk the best out of this compact instrument.

Arrived attractively boxed.

What is a Kalimba?

A Kalimba is a modern version of a Mbira which is an African instrument, traditionally from Zimbabwe. The metal Tines are played with the thumbs and the sound resonates through the wood. It is also known as a "Thumb Piano".

Kalimbas benefit from using modern, western scales so are more accessible to our western ears than the traditional African versions. Many are tuned to simple scales, making them easy to get started with and to make beautiful, relaxing music straight away. They can be used for meditation, yoga and even performance.

The sound can be amplified by laying the Kalimba on a tabletop or the skin of a drum.

A small family business since 1985, Hokema produce beautiful little instruments from high quality materials. Hand made with passion in Germany.

"Query: I just wanted to say how fantastic these wind chimes are. I have wanted to get one of the larger sets for a few months and have even dreamed about them in my sleep. Unfortunately having saved enough I missed out on the set I wanted to get but I did however buy anther set that I also thought was beautiful. I continue to now save up for the big set and also another set that i have viewed on your site, now having found where i can get them from. This is just to solely say absolutely brilliant! The sound and craftsmanship is outstanding. I totally appreciate what goes into making a set of these having engineering training and some musical background. Thank you again "
