The Sansula - a patented invention from HOKEMA - is a new development of the kalimba (also called sansa or mbira), which originated in southern Africa. Kalimbas are plucked idiophones played with the thumbs or fingers. In Africa, they can be found in countless shapes and designs, in which the vibration of the tongue is amplified in various ways (e.g., on a resonance box, a hollow body such as a calabash gourd, or simply a piece of solid wood). In the Sansula, the vibration of the tongue is first 'stored' in a wooden block, which then transfers it to a sound membrane. This way, the sound is audible for much longer than with other sound amplification methods. Supported by the tuning - octaves are close together - a wonderful, soft, overtone-rich sound is produced, which is easily elicited from the instrument.

Special tuning possible.
