We offer three different Kalimba models.

Electro Kalimbas : Our most popular Kalimba models with a building pickup so you can connect them to your amplifier.
Sansulas which have our Kalimba block mounted on a drum frame. Available in different materials and different number of tines.
Here is a video which walks you through all the models so you can see and hear the differences.
Tuning made easy with our Tuning Videos and the Tuning Tool .
We have compiled a couple of videos showing you different tuning flavors for your B9 or any Sansulas.
The tuning tool has an indention on the top so you can securely place it at the end of the tine and it won't slide when you use a hammer to tap the tuning tool and push the tines in or out.
We show you how its down in the videos plus you get to hear the different tuning suggestions.
If you would like to design your own Tuning here is a TUNING PDF that shows you the default tunning and the different possible positions for the tines and the resulting tunning.

This is a very beautiful chime that I can play with my Aqua Zenko Element (432Hz), Aqua Tinka Tong (432Hz), & my Aqua Hokema B5 Kalimba (432Hz) with a little help from my friends. Of course, I can mix & match the chimes with other elemental instruments & be amazed by the way that the sounds blend perfectly.
This is my favorite chime that I play before bed for a more restful sleep. I have noticed a little hum with beautiful overtones & undertones when moved around in a circular motion that I particularly enjoy. I can play this with my beloved Terra Tinka Tong or my beautiful Hokema B5 Terra Kalimba.
This is a lovely chime that I play with either my Hokema Terra B5 Kalimba or my Ignis Tinka Tong. The great thing about these chimes is that they sound great mixing & matching them with other instruments from WPWT.
I play these chimes for self care before bed for a more restful sleep.
Hokema B5 Kalimba Elemental Soundscape Tuning-Terra/ Aqua
This Kalimba is pleasing to the eye because of the cut & quality of the cherry wood. The size is perfect for small hands such as mine. I particularly love the Terra Tuning & fell instantly in love with this Kalimba that reminds me of a music box when played.
I also received the Aqua B5 Hokema Kalimba which is equally as beautiful as the Terra.
The Aqua Kalimba completes my Aqua Elemental Soundscape bundle. I cannot say how much I have loved jamming with my set.
This B5 Kalimba may be small, but its sound output is excellent & the tone is perfect. The B5 Kalimba can also be paired with the matching Koshi Chime & easily played. I think that I prefer the size of the B5 Kalimba & would highly recommend it for sound & ease of play.
Thanks & best wishes to the WPWT team.
