We love Kalimbas (also known as Mbira, Sansa or Thumb Piano) and this model is a great starter model. They make great presents for adult and children, and have a soft, gentle, relaxing sound. We particularly like this model which comes with everything you need to get started including a tuning hammer, instruction booklet, carry bag, stickers and cleaning fabric. It has an attractive wood grain, and  metal keys which have the name of the note embossed on it to make learning easy.
