Take this mini kalimba with you wherever you go!

Take this mini kalimba with you everywhere

The mini kalimba may be small, but it makes a big impression. With 8 finely tuned tines set into a sleek, easy-to-hold body, it packs the charm and soul of a full-size kalimba into a pocket-friendly format. Precise and delicate, it gives you the freedom to make music wherever you are. Its portability and refined design make it a must-have for musicians on the go and anyone looking for an intimate, personal playing experience. Tiny yet surprisingly capable, this truly mini kalimba, only 2.36 in (6 cm) long, goes anywhere with you thanks to its lanyard, so you can clip it wherever you like. Made from solid walnut wood and fitted with 8 steel tines, it delivers more than satisfying acoustic performance for an instrument of this size. Finally, this little thumb piano comes in a box, making it a perfect gift for any occasion.

Technical specifications of the mini kalimba

An 8-note instrument is naturally more limited when it comes to playable melodies and sheet music. If you’d like to learn a wider repertoire, go for a 17-key model such as the kalimba or mbira. And if that design isn’t your thing, simply pick another from our other finger pianos.
