Kalimbas

A Kalimba is an ancient African instrument which is also known as a "thumb piano. 
It can be made from many objects including gourds. 

BLUE PHOENIX RISING (NFS)

I made this Kalimba in memory of my beautiful Belgian Tervuren, Maya, who recently passed away.  It has many hidden meanings that are personal to me.  I have found that playing this simple little instrument has helped ease the pain of her loss. 

TURTLE KALIMBA (Sold)

This kalimba measures  approximately 8" X 2 3/4". The base is a gourd and the top is birch.  The turtle and bubbles are inlaid abalone.  This is a 15 note kalimba.
