Original price was: 459,00€.Current price is: 0,00€.

Kalimba Aislyn – an instrument crafted for inner calm.
This flamed ash kalimba features a striking branching pattern on the right side of the instrument. Its rich coloration emerged through long, slow hand–sanding.
The wood is densely grown, resilient, and naturally heavy, giving Aislyn a clear, bright, and soothing sound with excellent resonance. The mechanism is hand-hammered, with gently tempered screws in a warm golden tone.

Sound Character:
Ash wood is known for its bright, clean tones with a long sustain. Aislyn belongs to those instruments that naturally invite you to slow down and reconnect with yourself. It is an excellent choice for therapeutic work, meditation, or quiet evening playing for yourself or those close to you. And because of its beauty, wherever you place it, it will stand out as a unique and elegant centerpiece.

With its 17 × 14 cm size, it fits comfortably in adult hands. The double-row layout is suitable for beginners as well as experienced players, including those with stronger thumbs.
Aislyn is tuned to A minor, with the upper row starting on C, allowing not only intuitive playing but also melodies and songs.

This kalimba is available as a single, one-of-a-kind piece and is ready for immediate shipping.

Description

Body of instrument

Once in a few months, our grinding of wood suddenly holds our breath. This happens when Marek sees a place on a dusty board where a special kalimba is born. We mark it and place the form in such a way that its beauty can excel the most in the future. This is based on the life story of a tree which has been reflected on the structure and color of the wood. We are strongly influenced by the nature in which we create and live. Every day we are captivated by mountain peaks, the power of wind, the acuity of the first sunbeam and the intensity of morning dew. We wish that this powerful experience we feel through nature every day was written into every single instrument that goes through our hands. That’s why we make our kalimbas manually, from drying itself to the last surface trimming and finishes. We gradually collect these beauties all year round. After four years of natural drying, the wood is acclimatized in the workshop for a few more months to make it as stable as possible. When it’s ready, we start production. The surprise comes with the very conclusion, when only one of the three kalimbas plays to meet our expectations. Subsequently, we look for the tuning that fits the instrument the most. You can celebrate the result of our work together with us. We introduce you a special custom edition of designer kalimbas.

Sound tuning

Maybe you remember the “do re mi fa so la si do” exercise from the music classes at your elementary school. It’s an indication of the seven tones in a diatonic scale. If you’ve just hummed this in your mind, you sang one octave.
We tune this kalimba to A minor. Compared to a pentatonic kalimba, this one includes two extra tones, allowing you to play not only well-known melodies but also to enjoy intuitive playing.
