Kalimbas are reed instruments that are plucked with the thumbs or fingers. In Africa, they can be found in countless shapes and designs in which the vibration of the tongue is amplified in various ways (e.g. on a resonance box, a hollow body such as a calabash gourd or simply a piece of solid wood). With the Sansula, the vibration of the tongue is first \"stored\" in a block of wood, which then transfers it to a sound membrane. In this way, the sound can be heard for much longer than with other methods of sound amplification. Supported by the tuning - octaves are close together - a wonderful, soft, overtone-rich sound is created, which can be easily coaxed from the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v9Ec11Tv7ak?si=usJq7uQu_noVrO1K\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe item comes with a protection bag.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWork tuning:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA minor ( a' - c'' - c' - a' - a - f' - e' - e'' - h' )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolid American cherry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrame:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMade of European beech\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMembrane:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlastic drum head from REMO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e198 x 155 x 67 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e≈ 320 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackaging dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e270 x 213 x 79 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight including packaging:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e≈ 595 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hokema","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46905666076803,"sku":"KAL-DE-SS-R","price":2180.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/1293\/5043\/files\/sansula-renaissance01jpg_2048x2048_386aaa03-3acc-470f-8a23-03f7bf1ca9d4.webp?v=1775108502"},{"product_id":"twin-kalimba-hokema","title":"Twin Kalimba - Hokema","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Twin Kalimba is 30 cm long and has two sets of equally tuned reeds on opposite sides.
