Siesta Thumb Piano Kalimba Karimba Mbira Unique Unusual Gift Idea

HAND MADE THUMB PIANO (KALIMBA) MADE FROM COCONUT , GLAZED AND POLiSHED The thumb piano is an African musical instrument, a type of plucked idiophone common throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Thumb pianos traditionally consist of a wooden board to which metal tines of varying lengths are affixed. The longest tines are typically in the center, with shorter (and thus higher-pitched) tines arranged in ascending order towards both sides of the instrument. The thumb piano is most commonly held in both hands, with both thumbs being used to pluck tines either simultaneously or in turn. It may be used as a lead instrument or for accompanying other instruments or vocals. WHEN YOU BUY THIS ITEM YOU KNOW YOU ARE PURCHASING SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
