Tunings of the Sansula
Borrow Tunings from the 2B 9-Note Kalimba

By now you have probably heard of the Thomas Bothe 2B kalimbas. Thomas creates each one with a different tuning, and the tunings range from pretty good to very inventive to stunningly beautiful.

What you might not be aware of is that the 2B 9-Note kalimba is very similar to a Sansula. Both have 9 notes, and both have a lower row of 5 notes and an upper row of 4 notes interspersed between the lower row notes. Furthermore, the 2B kalimbas can go down as low as A, the low note on the Sansula.

What this means: if you are interested in a new tuning for your Sansula, why not listen to the 2B 9-Note Tunings? You might come up with a good idea for a tuning for the Sansula.

The 2B kalimbas are very easy to retune, so you might even consider purchasing a 2B/9-Note to use as a tuning laboratory for your Sansula.
