The B9 is a small, handy kalimba with a solid resonant body of American cherry wood.
The tuning of the Kalimba B9 is identical to that of the Sansula. It is in A-minor with additional tines tuned to B and F. Because all the notes harmonize, beginners can easily pick it up and start playing.
default Tuning A-minor: A, C, C, A, A, F, E, E, H
Amplify the sound by placing the kalimba on a flat surface such as a table or on top of a drum.
