    Kalimba

    Kalimba or also called a thumb piano. Typical African accompanying instrument, the sansula is a special version.

    Kalimba or Mbira are African names, in German it is called a thumb piano.
    Metal tongues are attached to a hollow resonance body, swinging freely. The kalimba is held between both hands and the thumbs can pluck the tongues. Depending on the length of the tongue, a different tone is created.
    The body can be a wooden box, a coconut or a gourd.
    A special kalimba is the sansula with an drumskin for resonance. The tongues are not placed on a body but on a small frame drum. In an elegant, oval shape, it nestles well in the hands.

    This recorder is made exspecially for small hands of children.

    With this flute young childs can learn playing the flute, even when their hands are still too small for a sopran recorder.

    This flute has 5 holes for the fingers, no hole for the thumb. Otherwise it has three marks. One on the top and two on the backside for the thumbs. They will give a good grip for the flute.

    Punteira the chanter of the spanish bagpipe

    Punteira is the spanish name of the chanter of the Gaita, the spanish bagpipe.
    With a wind-cap on the reed you can play the chanter like a shalmei.
    These instruments are made in high quality and exactly tuned like the Gaitas. With the very thin reeds they are playing easily.
    Like the Gaita, we offer the punteira in Do from Ash. If you are interested ask for other kinds in Re or Sib, or different woods.
