kalimba Hokema B15

Hokema Kalimba B15

Kalimbas are reed instruments that originated in southern Africa and can be found there in countless shapes and designs. The new Hokema Kalimba B15 is carefully handcrafted from solid American cherry. The surfaces are treated with vegetable oils and waxes and polished. The 15 sound tongues are precisely tuned in the G major scale, allowing a variety of well-known songs to be played. However, it is also suitable for improvising and intuitive playing.

The arrangement of the reeds alternates between long and short reeds for technical and tonal reasons. The shorter reeds have been bent so that their ends are at a higher level than those of the long reeds so that they can be easily reached by the thumbs.

• American cherry block with 15 metal sound keys
• Tones: G major (F#" E' D" C' H' A G' G A' H C" D' E" F#' G")
