## Overview

The Mason Hill Music Gourd Kalimba Thumb Piano is a handcrafted, USA-made musical instrument built on a resonant hard shell gourd.

## Description

The kalimba is an ancient folk percussion instrument that originated in Africa over 3,000 years ago. The kalimba, which means “little music” in Bantu, was popularized and spread to the West in the 1950’s. This instrument is known by many names, the most common of which are kalimba, thumb piano, and mbira. This thumb piano is built on a hard shell gourd grown in the USA that resonates the sound. The tines, or keys, are made using hand-cut and rounded, spring steel. The kalimba is played by holding the instrument in your hands and plucking the tines with your thumbs. Your instrument has been professionally tuned and is ready to play right out of the box.

Review: What a cool product. It is clear this is high quality ... - What a cool product. It is clear this is high quality and hand crafted wood. It comes with a song sheet with very clear (and easy to follow) instructions on how to play some basic songs, and they sound very unique when played on this instrument. In addition to being a fun product, it is a very cool decorative piece for our living room.
Review: Easy to play, Great sound, Great fun for the entire family! - I didn't even know what a Kalimba was until I looked it up. This gourd Kalimba is handcrafted in the USA. It is such a nice relaxing musical instrument. You play it in the fashion of a piano with various Keys. You pluck them with your fingers to produce a relaxing sound. It is very compact and lightweight which is nice to take with you to gatherings etc. It comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck as well. There are eight numbered keys to help make songs simple to play. You can use the included songbook to play 24 songs. With the numbered keys it makes it so simple. You can figure out songs on your own easily. Also, just plucking random Keys has such a nice sound and tone that it almost creates its own music by just playing around. I didn't think I'd end up spending as much time playing this as I did. It is so entertaining and fun you just can't put it down. When I show it to people they don't want to give it back. This is so simple a child can play it but also great for adults who can figure out their own music. I highly recommend this for everyone it's great family fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to play, excellent craftsmanship
*by M***L on May 22, 2018*

If you're looking for a compact, easy-to-learn instrument, the Kilimba Thumb Piano is perfect for you. The metal tines produce a clean, crisp sound, and the build quality of the wooden board (hand-crafted right here in the US) is superb. This is an instrument built for beginners, so don't worry if you've never played before (indeed, learning is half the fun!). This Kalimba comes with a songbook featuring more than 25 songs - more than enough to get you started. Highly, highly recommend.
