Meinl kalimba with wah-wah effect
If you want a kalimba that offers more than fixed melodies, this Meinl Sonic Energy Wah-Wah Kalimba stands out right away. You play 17 notes in C major, making this thumb piano suitable for melodic playing in a widely used tuning.
The body-oriented sound hole lets you create a wah-wah effect while playing by moving the kalimba on and off your belly. This gives you a playful and creative way to shape the sound as you play.
Construction and sound of the Meinl KL1705H
The Meinl KL1705H is made from high-quality acacia wood. Metal tines are mounted on the wooden resonance box and are plucked with your thumbs, which according to the product information produces a refined, metallic sound.
The kalimba is also known as mbira, sansa or thumb piano and originally comes from Africa. That makes this an age-old melodic instrument in a version with a distinctive design and its own playing approach.
Includes protection and care accessories
This kalimba comes with a case to protect the instrument from scratches and other damage. A microfiber cloth and a linen bag are also included to remove stains and keep the kalimba stored safely.
If you want to retune it, a tuning hammer is included as well. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians if you want to buy a kalimba that suits your preferences and use.
