I am very pleased with my new Renaissance Sansula. I purchased it as a replacement to my Sansula Basic after the synthetic head on the basic broke after 3 years of use.
The offer from WePlayWellTogether and Hokema to upgrade to the Renaissance is much appreciated as I love this little instrument. I hope it last me a good long time.
Great quality, so grateful to have had the chance to invest in this! It's sound is so clear! i am glad i went with the renaissance edition. Such a perfect and soothing sound.
I’m really enjoying my Hokema Sansula - it has a beautiful sound and enchants everyone I play it for.
The items arrived in a timely fashion. Thanks for a smooth transaction!
Perfect size and super protective plus very light!
When I first heard the Monalina at a sound bath I knew I had to have one. I bought one in F just to hear it. And then for Christmas my wife found Joules online course and signed me up for it. I was hesitant at first because I was just strumming it for fun, but I knew that the people that were taking her course would actually be utilizing it more fully than me. I was also nervous because I hadn’t played any instrument in front of people in quite a number of years. But Joule made me feel comfortable and relaxed and made the whole group feel as though that we were one in experiencing the weekend together. It was wonderful and I will never forget one minute of it. Plus as a trained musician it was nice that she actually has a musical education because then I knew that she knew not only how to play the instrument and how to get the most out of it but also the science behind the sound. I wouldn’t change a thing and she did a wonderful wonderful presentation. She was so into it. It was so much fun!
A well made instrument. Sounds good!

In my younger days (I am 83 now) I played the organ and piano. Some time ago I decided to try playing a kalimba where I could sit and play from my recliner. I tried a couple of the inexpensive kalimbas made in China. They were terrible with some dead tines and tuning issues that could not be fixed. So I purchased a Hokema B17 kalimba from WePlayWellTogether and Wow! What a difference. It was tuned to perfection with no dead tines. Having a hearing deficiency, I added a pickup to the back of the kalimba and plugged it into a small battery-powered amplifier. Perfect! I also like the solid body kalimba much better than the hollow box types. I enjoyed the B17 so much that I purchased the smaller Hokema B11 with the built in pickup. Another fantastic kalimba. Now I have two kalimbas, one tuned to C Major and one tuned to G Major. Just to show how much I am enjoying these wonderful Hokema kalimbas, this week I ordered the B15 and electric B9 to add to my collection. WePlayWellTogether has been a great resource for my new hobby. The kalimbas have arrived quickly in perfect condition. A question I had about the scale of the B11 was quickly answered with a booklet sent by the firm at no cost to me. If you are interested in purchasing a kalimba, look no further.

I received my monolini recently and fell in love. My intention is to bring healing to myself and others. This course really brought new understanding to this beautiful instrument. Joule is so authentic and encourages each student. The pace of the two day training is perfect. Plenty of instruction as well as exercises. I highly recommend the course for anyone who is new to this instrument so that they can fully realize its potential. At age 64 having no musical background, I have found an instrument that gives me incredible joy. Also surprisingly confident enough to share with others. Thanks to Joule and her course, I’m deeply in love and have appreciation for the creators, makers, and the wood and metal that makes this instrument possible. I’m looking forward to another Joule training.

If you are deciding on these, get them! Cute mallets that create a different texture of sound.
Very excellent customer service and the monolina is awesome. Gabriele was understanding, patient and responsive. The consultation with Joule was worth doing as she was able to answer questions that I wouldn't have gotten from the website. The fee went towards the instrument.
I love it. People love it. It's an investment and a good one.
Some say that D minor is the saddest key. I beg to differ. D minor is is a beautiful key and the Aqua collection is a delight. I feel fortunate to obtain the blue "baby turtle" now that they are no longer being manufactured. It's a perfect addition to my D minor collection, including several We Play Well Together offerings. It has a sweet, lovely sound and you really can't go wrong playing it.
I am really enjoying this beautifully crafted instrument. It is the perfect accompaniment to my softly spoken meditation and journey work prompts. Just wish I had purchased a case when I ordered.
I’m loving this kalimba!
However, the highest note does not ring like the rest. And the third to highest note is ever so slightly flat.
But I know I’m going to love her.
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship in every way!- sounds almost angelic, and so mesmerizing ... feels wonderful on my body. Delightful playing experience. Everything was packaged with the upmost care. Came with tuner as well as spare strings, mallet, and accessories!
Exceeded all my expectations, which were already high. This Monolina is so meticulously crafted and well made. I wish I could purchase one for every tuning. A lovely instrument that is clearly built to endure generations.
My binural tongue drum is so so beautiful. I’m very happy with it and the sound is amazing, healing, engaging transformative! I always have the best experience with everyone at Weplaywelltogther! I’m always supported and well guided by Joule and Gabriele.

A few years ago I became casually interested in the Kalimba because of its simplicity of design and playability. Without experience or a good point of reference I needed to taste a lot of flavors to sort out the choices. For a while, my discards kept the local Goodwill store supplied with inventory.
The feeding frenzy stopped when I discovered Hokema. Build and material quality is professional grade. The tines are not stiff, so you can play at any intensity without stressing a thumb nails. Resonance from the solid wood base and the resulting sustain are simply stunning. Even the high notes sing, unlike the flat 'tapping an aluminum pan' sound from my discards.
I first purchased the B-17, and later the smaller B-17 Mini. Comments above apply to both. There is no problem holding, playing, or carrying around either instrument. The Mini's smaller footprint might be more comfortable for small hands. I just like the smaller package. Because the B-17's wood block is wider, it has more space between the tines. Both instruments appear to use the same tine assembly materials, but the Mini has a shorter cross bar. The Mini's tine spacing is grouped, but they can be adjusted to make the spacing more uniform like the B-17. In that mode, even with the smaller block the tine spacing is noticeably wider than some other Kalimbas I've tried. My thumbs are average width for a 5'8" person and my nails are normally rounded (not pointed), and I have no trouble playing individual notes.
Tablature is available around the net for 17-key Kalimbas (RiffSpot has a nice ebook), so you can play tunes without reading music on both the B-17 and B-17 Mini.
I just took the week-long monochord training with Joule and fell in love with my Monolina. Joule is a fun, engaging and knowledgeable teacher who brings deep reverence to her instruments and the art of playing them. We got to experiment with and experience all the different ways of expressing through our monochords and came away with a proven, complete and beautiful 45-minute session we can now offer. I highly recommend this class.
Wonderful instrument. It’s easy to travel with and well crafted. Customer service is wonderful as well. Very responsive. I am always impressed with the attention to customer service and care of the instruments. This instruments complement my crystal singing bowls and monalina nicely.
This set elevates one’s instruments to the next level. Having all these components really sets one up for success and allows room for growth to grow into your sound practice.
The versatility that comes with having the leg extensions allows the player to be comfortable in a variety of ways while playing. The mallets add additional ways to play.
Tuning is a breeze with the template. When not being played or on the go with this monolina, the mats keep everything safe and the backpack makes it so you can take it to the studio or out into nature to play.
I can’t say enough great things about it, it’s a must have in the sound tool kit for sure.
