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 top of a drum.
The B9( nine tines) is the ‘sister’ model of the B7 (seven tines) Kalimba. Both have the same sized wooden block, but the tines of the B9 are slimmer than the B7. This gives the B9 a more overtone rich sound compared with the B7, which has more vibration instead.
Solid resonant body of American cherrywood.
Measurements: 4.8 x 3.6 x 1.4 inches

Included in the Bundle: Tuning Tool and Book with different tuning suggestions and playing instructions. The Sansula and the B9 have the same block of 9 tines tuned in A-minor.
