Oval Recycled Tin Can Thumb Piano (Kalimba)

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 81159121525



Young men in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso, craft these fun African percussion instruments from recycled tin cans. The beautiful warm sound of the kalimba is attained by plucking the metal tines. The motion causes the small buzzers at the rear of the tines to vibrate, and the sound resonates inside the tin can chamber. Kalimbas make a great gift for music lovers or collectors of recycled crafts.
