Hokema B11 G major 440Hz Melody Kalimba
€65.00
card.manufacturer:
Kalimbas are reed instruments that originated in southern Africa and can be found there in countless shapes and designs.Our Kalimba B11 'Melody' is carefully handcrafted from solid American cherry (black cherry). The surfaces are treated with vegetable oils and waxes and polished. The 11 reeds are precisely tuned in the G major scale, allowing a variety of well-known songs to be played. However, the "Melody" is just as suitable for improvisation and intuitive playing.For technical and tonal reasons, we have alternated long and short reeds in the arrangement of the reeds. The six shorter reeds have been bent so that their ends are at a higher level than those of the long reeds so that they can be easily reached by the thumbs. When playing the notes from low to high, first the five long reeds are plucked alternately with both thumbs from the centre outwards - the right thumb starts on reed no. 6 - then the six short reeds, also from the centre outwards. The left thumb starts on tongue 5.

For this reason, it is often used by therapists.The subtle sound of this instrument is easily audible. It can also be amplified considerably by placing it on a suitable surface, such as a table top or the skin of a drum.The tuning of the Kalimba B7 is C-pentatonic and always produces harmonious sounds.

Hokema Sansula Basic Melody (B-Goods)
€105.00
card.manufacturer:
The sansula - a patented invention from Hokema - is a new development of the kalimba (also known as sansa or mbira), which originated in southern Africa. Kalimbas are reed instruments that are plucked with the thumbs or fingers. In Africa, they are found in countless shapes and designs, in which the vibration of the tongue is amplified in various ways (e.g. on a resonance box, a hollow body such as a calabash gourd or simply a piece of solid wood). With the sansula, the vibration of the tongue is first 'stored' in a block of wood, which then transmits it to a sound membrane. In this way, the sound can be heard for much longer than with other methods of sound amplification. Supported by the tuning - octaves are close together - a wonderful, mellow sound rich in overtones is produced, which is easy to elicit from the instrument.
