Christian Carver, director of AMI, makers of the Hugh Tracey kalimbas, put this karimba together for me on a Treble box, but I can't get used to it, because I am accustomed to the karimbas being thin! It has no pickup, and I have played it for under an hour. I have put a few like this together for people as custom jobs in the past, and I anticipate someone will want this so they can have one of the only African-tuned Karimbas with a wah wah from the sound holes. I should note that the face wood is remarkable.

The darker the kiatt wood, the denser it is, and the longer it resonates. This one is dark and sustains nicely. The Hugh Tracey celeste trebles sound like a music box.

Thank you for considering the purchase of a premium kalimba - this endeavor is like a dream come true for me. Together, we are doing something significant in helping real people in Africa. Kalimba Magic is moving along on steady enough footing that I can look up at my dreams and invest in making them come true. And when you purchase one of these premium kalimbas, you are sharing the wealth and giving back to Africa.
