Kalimba
General Information
The Kalimba B5 is a handy pocket version. When its five spring steel tongues are plucked, a clear F minor triad is heard.
A Thumb Piano.
A kalimba has a pleasant sound and is easy to play. The musicial instrument is a member of the lamellophone family and is also called “thumb piano”: the stainless steel plectra are plucked by the thumbs. Peter Hokema in Walsrode produces them in different sizes and models. They are tuned in such a way that the combination of the sounds from the individual spring steel plectra produces clear chords; simply put: you can only produce harmonies on these kalimbas.
We offer two models.
The Kalimba B5 is a pocket model. When all five spring steel plectra are plucked they produce a clear F-minor chord.
The Kalimba B9 is equipped with nine plectra which are tuned to produce an A-minor chord with an additional B and F.
