BOX Kalimba Pick-up – elektroacoustic Hollow Mahogany Kalimba

369,00

This electroacoustic hollow kalimba is handcrafted from high-quality wood. The internal sound chamber is carved by hand from a single block of wood. This approach minimizes internal resonance and eliminates the typical “nasal” echo often associated with hollow kalimbas.

The result is a clean, balanced tone comparable to that of a flatboard kalimba, while preserving the softness and richness of natural wood. Each note sounds clear and bright – just as you’ve come to expect from our instruments.

Thanks to the bass-reflex hollows – one larger in front and two smaller ones at the back – this kalimba also allows for expressive wah-wah effects that will inspire both advanced players and those seeking a fresh sound experience.

Tuned in a diatonic scale, this kalimba is ideal for intuitive playing as well as for performing compositions. Measuring 17 x 14 cm, it fits comfortably in adult hands. With 17 tines in a single-row layout, it’s suitable for both beginners and professionals.

We are currently accepting pre-orders with guaranteed delivery before Christmas. Wood type and tuning will depend on the currently available materials. We will contact you after receiving your order to finalize all the details.

Limited number of instruments available.

We usually ship kalimbas within 2 weeks. For earlier delivery, please contact us.

Description

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.

This concrete kalimba is tuned in diatonic Gmajor tuning (G A B C D E F#).
