We love Kalimbas! This model is an excellent choice if you are looking for something a cut above the average. It’s a solid Kalimba (…most of the cheaper model are hollow) and is a great sounding instrument and is made of high-quality black walnut wood. This model has 21 notes on the scale of C Major. This Kalimba comes with a case so you can protect it from scratches and other damage, a tuning hammer, a microfiber cloth and a linen bag are also included.
The Kalimba originally comes from Africa. It is a centuries-old instrument, also known as “Mbira” and “Sansa” or simply “thumb piano”. There are metal reeds placed on a wooden box, which are plucked with the thumbs to produce the notes.
Eduard Stein (1818-1864) was a German conductor, composer and Music Director of the Loh-Orchester Sondershausen. Initially, he began to study theology at Leipzig University but under the influence of Heinrich Marschner and Felix Mendelssohn he abandoned this in favour of musical training. In January 1853 he was appointed Fürstlicher Hofkapellmeister in Sondershausen, a position he held until his death on 16 March 1864, at the age of 45 years.
