Tunable 8-note Instrument imported from South Africa

£14.99

A great unique gift idea from HandcraftedUK!

This thumb piano has been imported from South Africa. It has been handmade and is very easy to play. Just hold the Marimba in one hand whilst plucking the metal bars with the other.

The instrument is tuneable and has a eight note range, meaning the pitch can be changed to your liking. Known also as a Calimba or Karimba, the musical instrument originated in Zimbabwe and was played by the Shona people when settling Mozambique. The Shona people still use the instrument to this day during their ceremonies.

This ethnic musical instrument would make an excellent gift to give to someone who likes unusual hand made items. It would also be appreciated by those with an interest in African instruments.

Measures 21cm (8.5") in length and 11cm (4.5") in diameter. This is just one of the lovely unique gifts available from HandcraftedUK. For more gift ideas please take a look around our store. You're sure to find the perfect gift for that special occasion!
