Simple Kalimba (previously Kris Kalimba) is a hand-crafted kalimba (African thumb piano) with a 1/4" input jack for line recording. Unlike traditional kalimbas, Simple Kalimba was created with a wooden slab (instead of a hollow coconut shell) without a sound hole and each metal rod is cut to a specific length to form a tuned diatonic C major scale.
For maximum playability, the original one-octave (C3 to C4) has been stretched to 3.5 octaves (G2 to C6). Each note has 4 round-robin samples and 2 dynamic layers (p and mf).
This delicate bell-like instrument is perfect for spreading cheer in your tracks.
