The Sela Kalimba 17 Maple has a solid body made of maple.
The light wood with beautiful grain is one of the most popular tonewoods and is among other things also very often used in drum and guitar construction. Due to its hardness, maple provides a clear, defined tone with accentuated treble. For a particularly pleasant handling, the Sela Kalimba 17 Maple has fine milled out edges on the sides.
The 17 notes of the Sela Kalimba 17 Maple are all on the C major scale and range from the note C4 to E6. Since all the notes fit together harmonically, even beginners can compose exciting melodies with this instrument in no time and accompany or play along with songs written in C major.
Included with the Sela Kalimba 17 Maple is a high-quality case with carrying strap and fitted padding that effectively protects the instrument from damage during storage and transport. Also included is a microfiber cloth for cleaning the Kalimba and a tuning hammer. The latter is needed if you want to re-tune the instrument. A tip: To check the pitch, you can either use a smartphone with a corresponding tuning app or a small clip-on tuner for guitars.
