Hokema B7 Kalimba

The Hokema Kalimba B7 is the 'sister' of the B9 and is likewise a small and handy kalimba with a solid resonance body of American Cherrywood with stainless steel parts, refined development and clean tuning. The measurements of both instruments are the same but the B7 is not only tuned differently, but its tines are also wider, which makes the tones deeper. It goes down to deep E, the lowest kalimba note we sell! A pleasure to play. The magic of playing this kalimba and her sisters is resulted from the fact that the vibrations of the tines is significantly felt in the hands of the player and thus the sounds are transmitted into his/her body and bestow a magic peaceful feeling. However due to the deeper tones of the seven pentatonically-tuned tines, the vibrations of the B7 are stronger. For this reason, the B7 is especially favored by therapists, who place the kalimba to the patient's body whilst playing (especially to hard areas like joints etc.). The tuning of the Kalimba B7 is pentatonic C. The sounds produced are therefore always in harmony and the playing is easy and intuitive, so beginners also enjoy immediate success with this instrument. The sound of the instrument can be significantly amplified by placing it on or sticking it onto a tabletop, the skin of a drum or any sounding board. Tuning ex works (can be varied): e ́, g , d ́, e , c ́, a , a ́. Product Features Dimensions: 4.9 X 4.0 X 1.8 inch (11.7 x 9.0 x 4.1 cm) Weight: 7.7 oz. \ 220 gr Practice Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Experienced

  The deep tones of the pentatonically tuned instrument emit vibrations that are felt particularly strongly in the hands. This is one reason the B7 is especially favored by music therapists. Always in harmony, it’s also an easy instrument for beginners to play.
