Sanza 5 Keys - Rosewood, Traditional Form

Sanza with 5 tines in rosewood - traditional form

Five tines, 11 cm, 138 g: this sanza is small enough for a jacket pocket and simple enough for any child to play. A rosewood body, five steel tines. The original form of the instrument, before it acquired seventeen tines.

Five notes, plenty of possibilities

Fewer tines means no wrong positions and no hunting about. Rhythm and melody from five notes, as in traditional playing.

Rosewood

A dense, dark hardwood with a clear tone. The body is a flat board.

Why Resonance

Every instrument is tuned and sound-checked before it leaves us. Dispatched within 24 hours, insured and tracked. 30 days to play it at home: if the sound does not convince you, we take the instrument back. If you are unsure which model to choose, you can reach us before and after your purchase.

17 keys is the easiest place to start, and it gives you the widest choice of tabs and practice pieces. More tines give you extra melodic room. If you are torn between two models, go with the sound that speaks to you first. The number of keys sets the range, not your talent.
