HOKEMA - Twin Kalimba
Retail: 109€
The Twin Kalimba is 30 cm long and features two identically tuned sets of tines on opposite sides, allowing for solo or duet playing.
Playing as a duo
The main reason for developing the Twin Kalimba was the desire for an instrument that allows for joint playing. Whether it's couples, friends, or therapist and patient, a shared sound experience is possible. Thanks to the identically tuned sets of tines, harmonious sequences of notes and sounds are always created. The vibrations of the notes transfer to the wood and are not only acoustically but also physically perceptible to the playing partner.
Playing solo
Hold the Twin Kalimba horizontally in both hands so that each thumb plays one set of tines. The identically tuned sets of tines create a rich and resonant sound, as the identically tuned note on the opposite side vibrates along with each played tine. The advanced kalimba player has a variety of possibilities for scale formation by retuning individual notes.
