The Kalimba B9 is equipped with nine spring steel reeds, which are tuned so that the sound together produces an A minor chord with additional B and F.

A kalimba has a pleasant sound and is easy to play. The musicial instrument is a member of the lamellophone family and is also called “thumb piano”: the stainless steel plectra are plucked by the thumbs. Peter Hokema in Walsrode produces them in different sizes and models. They are tuned in such a way that the combination of the sounds from the individual spring steel plectra produces clear chords; simply put: you can only produce harmonies on these kalimbas.

The Kalimba B5 is a pocket model. When all five spring steel plectra are plucked they produce a clear F-minor chord.
