Our review
If you're looking for a unique and eco-friendly Kalimba, then I've got good news: you found it!
The Bondi Bamboo Kalimba combines sustainable bamboo construction with the build and sound quality you expect from Bondi. Featuring 17 highly polished and smooth ore metal tines, your thumbs will glide effortlessly without snags.
Kalimbas, similar to Mbiras with one less row of tines, are cherished for their glassy bell-like timbre. The bamboo body gives you a little more sound projection and a unique tone. The smooth natural finish combined with the beveled edges makes this extremely comfortable to hold and play.
This Kalimba is finished with a stunning pearl inlay soundhole rosette.

FAQ
Yes! The Kalimba is one of the easiest instruments to learn. Unlike the piano which has many keys and complex scales to learn, the basics of the kalimba can be learnt really quickly. It's an instrument that can be learnt without prior musical experience. On the other hand, someone with musical experience may well be playing simple melodies within minutes of picking it up. The beauty of this instrument is that it sounds beautiful, no matter who is playing it.
Yes it is. Also known as a mbira or thumb piano, the Kalimba orginated in Africa around 3000 years ago. At the time African tribes were in need of a portable instrument to play while walking. Whilst we may not walk and play the Kalimba these days, the portability of this instrument is a big reason for its popularity.
