Kalimba 17 Keys - Solid Mahogany, Metal Tines

Kalimba with 17 notes in solid mahogany - metal tines

Mahogany is the wood guitar backs are built from, and for good reason: it sounds warmer and fuller than paler woods. This seventeen-note kalimba joins that warm body to clear metal tines.

Mahogany: warm and carrying

The dense, dark wood damps the sharp overtones and lets the fundamental come through more strongly. The sound is rounder and calmer than on a kalimba in beech or maple.

Seventeen numbered tines

You rest your thumbs and pluck, and it sounds settled immediately, with no knowledge of notation. The booklet supplied sets out melodies as sequences of numbers.

Who this model is for

For anyone who prefers a warmer sound: for unwinding, for meditation, for falling asleep to. More models in our Kalimbas collection.
