Support local artisans
At Instruments du Monde, we believe local craftsmanship is an integral part of our culture and heritage. That’s why, whenever possible, we collaborate with local artisans to offer their creations in our store and help keep French know-how alive.
This is currently the case with SĂ©bastien, a talented cabinetmaker from the small town of Saint-Alexandre in Gard, Occitanie. Passionate about woodcraft, he hand-makes kalimbas that are true little gems. By choosing a musical instrument made in France, you help support small businesses.
Let’s protect the environment together through reforestation
Because we believe we should give back to nature what we borrow from it, the Instruments du Monde store is committed to planting a tree for every order you place. This initiative is fully funded by our company, so instrument prices stay the same.
To make it happen, we partner with the European nonprofit environmental organization Tree-Nation to support reforestation projects, including the Eden Project in Nepal near Chitwan National Park.

I already own several kalimbas, and this one is absolutely perfect. The instrument is made from beautiful, high-quality wood. The tines feel smooth and produce a crystal-clear sound.
I’m blown away by the power of this little bowl—you can make it sing for a long time. I didn’t expect this level of quality, so I’m very satisfied.
Very satisfied with my purchase. Perfect for relaxing.
I got it for my daughter. She loves it!
Great for my damaged nails.
Looks exactly like the photos, very pretty, and delivered in the box. It was perfect as a gift, even though the corners of the box arrived a little crushed.
Perfect.
