Melia – the Greek name for ash, a tree with strong roots and a pure sound.
This kalimba is crafted from a single piece of dense ash wood. Its natural strength and solid structure create a deep, resonant tone with a rich sustain. Melia is tuned in a diatonic D minor scale, offering 21 tones that make it perfect for both intuitive playing and well-known melodies.
The back of the kalimba is just as captivating as its sound. A natural piece of bark has been seamlessly integrated into the veneer, preserving the tree’s authentic beauty.
The sound of Melia is deep, intense, and meditative. It invites you to immerse yourself in music, whether for relaxation, sound therapy, or simply playing for your own enjoyment.
With dimensions of 17 × 14 cm, it fits comfortably in adult hands. The 21 tones are arranged in a double-row layout, making this kalimba a great choice for beginners and experienced players alike, including those with stronger fingers.
With your kalimba, you will receive a practical pouch for transport, a kalimba stand, and lifetime service as a gift.
Only one piece is available – ready to be shipped immediately.
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. Ordinary, we tune these kalimbas to G major. This kalimba is tuned in special way – diatonic D minor (D – E – F – G – A – B♭ – C).
Your instrument will be taken care of. We provide free unlimited warranty with every kalimba for tuning and cleaning of the instrument.
Packed in a hand-painted box
Every instrument gets our attention. From choosing the right tree to work with, all the way to the final packaging, which will come to your doorstep. Everything is handmade. So is the cover box, which we paint by hand as a tribute to the instrument itself. It’s not only beautiful, but it can also be used as a resonance surface while playing.
