Energetic plucks with a beautifully primitive and pure sound, full of wonderful imperfections – upcycled from an old tomato paste can, giving this kalimba an especially unique sound.
$15.00
The Kalimba is useful beyond the borders of Sub-Saharan Africa, and this specific one is re-useful because it was upcycled from an old can of tomato paste! The instrument is played by plucking a series of metal tines with the thumbs to create percussive resonant tones sounding almost like a tiny metallic marimba. This hybrid kalimba/tomato paste container resonates uniquely like no other kalimba… and we couldn’t resist sampling it!
The instrument utilizes the same arpeggiator as our Jug Drums, with a preset system that offers the ability to create and save your own settings plus 50 factory presets for your inspiration, including humanization features to keep your patterns from sounding like computerized mechadrums.
