Develop a rich playing style with this 20-tine kalimba

The 20-tine kalimba is a unique creation for those looking to expand their musical horizons. Featuring an extended range of 20 meticulously tuned tines, it invites rich, varied exploration and opens up new registers to discover. The harmony between its elegant design and acoustic quality delivers a visual and listening experience that truly engages the senses. There’s a simple principle with the kalimba: the more keys on the instrument, the greater its musical potential. At the same time, a higher number of tines can make the instrument more challenging to learn. This model features 20 steel tines on a solid koa acacia wood body, striking an excellent balance between range and playability. In addition, the keys are arranged like a traditional piano, with the lowest notes on the left and the highest on the right.

Free gifts:

  • Two thumb guards
  • A set of stickers to help you remember the notes
