Build an instrument that feels like you with this DIY kalimba kit!

Use this DIY kit to build your kalimba

Can’t find what you’re looking for in our shop? Want a thumb piano that’s 100% personalised? Or looking to build a kalimba with your child (or children) as a fun, hands-on craft project with a truly rewarding result? We know it can be tough to source the right materials, especially the steel tines, for this instrument. That’s why we offer this DIY kalimba kit! As long as you already have a base/frame, everything you need to create your own kalimba is included. All that’s left is to mount the parts onto your structure and let the magic happen. Assembly is simple and intuitive.

Technical specifications of the DIY kalimba kit

  • Target audience: beginner to advanced
  • Type of instrument: percussion – idiophone – lamellophone
  • Number of tines, keys, or notes: 17
  • Materials: solid walnut wood, steel tines
  • Weight: 20 g (0.7 oz)
  • The wooden resonance chamber shown in the photograph is not included in the kit. It is shown as an example to give you an idea of the final result.


If you decide not to build your own thumb piano after all, you may prefer an instrument that’s ready to play right away with no assembly, such as a handmade kalimba. With it, you can start playing as soon as you unbox it, just like most of our other kalimbas.

Make learning the kalimba easier with engraved tines

To make learning the thumb piano easier, every tine in this kit is engraved. Once you’ve built the instrument, you’ll have no trouble finding your way around the layout, and you’ll be able to see at a glance which musical note each key corresponds to—an effective way to improve quickly on the kalimba.
