This is a Hand Carved Wood and Gourd Thumb Piano with Beads from the Gogo Tribe in Tanzania. The Kalimba is comprised of a hollow resonator, which vary from handmade boxes to calabash gourds, and metal tins. It has many local names but it is uniquely an African instrument, with origins tracing to the ancient sub Saharan cultures. Kalimba's are a percussion instrument, and was used in ceremonial functions such as weddings, funerals, and in honor of significant people, as well as for religious purposes, to call on spirits and seek their advice. This would be a great fun gift for everyone.
