The plucked instrument is known by many names including but not limited to the thumb piano in western regions, the Sanza, marimba, and Mbira in Africa where the instrument originated and the more popular name is the kalimba. This musical instrument got its name from the trademarked version invented by Hugh Tracey but it has come a long way over the years. We love all things kalimba which is why in this collection and on our kalimba website you will find unusual thumb pianos made from coconut, gourd and wood that come from all around the world. If you want to buy a handmade, hand-painted kalimba at a great price then this is the perfect place for you maybe you will love our free large collection of beginner song tabs in our learn section or you are interested in an upgrade; we have the branded German made Hokema kalimbas, as well as tools, accessories and our tuning service for people who have an out-of-tune instrument.
