Lovingly handmade in Germany from solid American black cherry wood. Polished with natural oils and waxes. Seventeen metal tines are precision tuned to the notes of the C Major scale (the white keys on a piano). D - B - G - E - C - A - F - D - C - E - G - B - D - F - A - C - E. This allows most of your favourite melodies to be played - a true musical instrument. The intuitive layout makes it easy to sound musical for beginners, but allows advanced players to milk the best out of this compact instrument.

Arrived attractively boxed.

What is a Kalimba?

A Kalimba is a modern version of a Mbira which is an African instrument, traditionally from Zimbabwe. The metal Tines are played with the thumbs and the sound resonates through the wood. It is also known as a "Thumb Piano".

Kalimbas benefit from using modern, western scales so are more accessible to our western ears than the traditional African versions. Many are tuned to simple scales, making them easy to get started with and to make beautiful, relaxing music straight away. They can be used for meditation, yoga and even performance.

The sound can be amplified by laying the Kalimba on a tabletop or the skin of a drum.

A small family business since 1985, Hokema produce beautiful little instruments from high quality materials. Hand made with passion in Germany.

" Hi, can't seem to find how to do a feedback post on your site, please advise. Bought mine for my daughter for Christmas and she's very pleased, she said they sound "truly amazing" and she said said they look "really smart" so thankyou as it took me over 2 weeks searching online to find someone that sold nice chimes and I still can't recall how I finally came across your Co. but so glad I did as Naomi has wanted some 'decent' chimes for years as she grew up with my deep tone ones but I never got around to think to buy her some as I thought she'd have done that herself but chatting on phone couple of months ago I brushed by mine and she commented about missing that tinkle/dong so I thought about it for xmas! Anyways I waffle, just pleased that being housebound I could find something I liked particularly as I was able to play the sound of each chimes with your site online, a definate plus as for us it was all about the tone! Thankyou"
