Ulma 9 tone G major kalimba

89,00

ULMA is a kalimba containing 9 tones, handmade on a resonant board. It’s tuned in a pentatonic tuning in G major. People usually pick a kalimba of this size as their first instrument. You can’t go wrong with this one. Despite of its compact size, the kalimba has clear, bright and high quality sound. We make ULMA with either single or double rows of tines – we recommend the double rows for players with thicker thumbs, there’s more working space thanks to a smart distribution of the tines.

Description

Body of the instrument

This kalimba is also made of wood, which has been dried for several years. We hand-made it out of walnut tree wood, which is characteristic with its soft and warm tone. Its sound qualities are guaranteed by carefully picking the trees with which we then work. Every kalimba that goes through such process sounds even better in the long run – thanks to frequent playing.

Sound tuning

Pentatonic tuning is easier and you really don’t have to think that hard while playing so. It’s ideal for kalimba beginners, or for the kids. This tuning, which indicates five tones, brings joy to people who don’t have much experience with a musical instrument. The tuning is in an octave of G A B D E.
