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.
