I bought this for my son who loves music and his cat...He loved it!!!!
He told me to get him something "unique" for Christmas...he said I surpassed his
expectations...
The instrument arrived in pristine condition and in a very timely manner...
I would order from this company again...

The Kalimba (or Karimba)is an instrument originally from Africa that is usually played as an accompaniment to vocals, though it can be played on its own, too. It is very easy to play by plucking the keys with both thumbs. It is made of a gourd covered by a piece of wood with the key assembly attached.

I don't know how this instrument sounds as I was sent a cheaper version instead of this one which I ordered for just under $19.00. The one I received was nice enough, but I was disappointed. Be careful to check that they are sending you the correct instrument when you get to check out and that the price isn't around $13.00. Amazon didn't bother to let me know they were making a substitution.

Turtle Shaped Karimba Mbira Thumb Piano Kalimba Finger Review

This kalimba sits in our livingroom and when it isn't being used its job is to 'sit pretty'. The 'tines' aren't exactly tuned very carefully, when they move you have to sort of tune it again but it does have a good chimy sound. (When we first got it the sound made my dog think someone rang the doorbell and she'd run to the door!) This is a good 'starter kalimba' for fun, not for the serious percussion music enthusiast.

Thisbeautifully crafted sea turtle shaped Karimba (also knows as a kalimba,Mbira or Thumb Piano) is hand made from a coconut shell, with the legs,tail and head hand carved from Indonesian Albessia wood.Metal keys are suspended above the acoustic chamber and when pluckedwith the fingers or thumbs make a delightfully rich note.Thisgorgeous mbira is great for use as a decoration, and makes a greateducational gift for children. NOTE: Because these are hand-carved,there may be slight differences in design from the pictures. Theyalsovary in size based on the size of the coconut used but they are about 9to 10 inches long. Wehave a limited supply of these, so don't delay. Get yours now!
