17-Key “Forest Melodies” Kalimba (Solid Wood & Metal)
Disconnect from daily life and let yourself be carried away by the sweetness of this 17-key “Forest Melodies” Kalimba!
Carefully crafted, its solid wood body (mahogany) offers ample resonance, a warm tone, and a sound that lasts over time. The deer motif, finely executed by laser engraving, brings a true touch of visual poetry to this nature-inspired instrument, while offering a smooth finish to the touch.
Everything has been designed for optimal playing comfort. Its 17 metal keys benefit from galvanic treatment to prevent rust and are slightly curved downwards to avoid irritating your thumb tips during long sessions.
Each key is engraved with its note and number, allowing you to play intuitively by following the provided sheet music, without needing to learn classical music theory.
Ideal for musical awakening, meditation, or travel, it is the ultimate portable instrument.
Its softened edges perfectly fit the palm of your hands, while the pronunciation holes located on the back invite you to explore creative sound effects, like the famous “Wah” effect, by playing with your fingers.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the instrument’s body made of real wood or plastic with a printed pattern?
A: It is a genuine solid wood body. The technical specifications indicate the use of mahogany for the body’s construction, which is essential to guarantee its excellent acoustic resonance and warm sound.
Q: Are the notes inscribed on the metal keys likely to fade with sweat or wear?
A: You have nothing to worry about on that front. The phonetic symbols and numbers are not merely painted on the surface; they are physically engraved into the metal of each key. The keys have also received a specific treatment to prevent rust.
Q: I’ve never played music in my life; is this instrument for me?
A: It’s one of the easiest instruments for beginners to pick up. The method is visual: you just need to look at the numbers on the included paper sheet music and pluck the key with the same number using your thumbnail.
Q: What exactly are the two small holes on the back of the Kalimba for?
A: These are pronunciation holes designed to modulate the sound. By placing your middle fingers around these openings and moving them while you play, you alter the airflow, which creates a vibrato effect or a very expressive “Wah” sound.
Q: Can the instrument go out of tune, and if so, how do I tune it?
A: Like any string or lamella instrument, adjustment may be necessary over time. Tuning is entirely manual: by gently tapping the keys up or down, you change the pitch of the note. For precise guidance, we recommend using free smartphone tuner apps like gStrings (on Android) or insTuner (on iOS).
