Linear KalimbaI have been working this summer on the Chromatic Kalimba; here some prototypes. Decided on using brass for the brackets and bridges, and using three compartments in the sound box. Range will be 3 octaves G2-G5.
Chromatic KalimbaI received the boxes for shipping and storing the linear kalimbas. They are made from sturdy 7mm double-ply corrugated cardboard.
UncategorizedMade this one for a musician in Belgium who requested this particular tuning: A – C – E – G – B – D. With the open thirds there is less of a tonal center. I had only a few days to play on it, but I found this simple but fun rhythm on it.
