Sela 17-Key Solid Sapele Kalimba Sound Effect in Natural

The Sela Kalimba 17 Sapele has a solid body made of sapele wood.

The medium brown coloring and tight grain of this exotic wood species from Africa are reminiscent of mahogany and the tonal characteristics are also excellent. Sapele produces a clear and bright tone without sacrificing warmth in the bass and mid-range.

The 17 notes of the Sela Kalimba 17 Sapele are all on the C major scale, ranging from the note C4 to E6. Since all the notes fit together harmonically, even beginners can compose exciting melodies with this instrument in no time and accompany or play along with songs written in C major.

Included with the Sela Kalimba 17 Sapele is a high-quality case with carrying strap and fitted padding that effectively protects the instrument from damage during storage and transport. Also included is a microfiber cloth for cleaning the Kalimba and a tuning hammer. The latter is needed if you want to re-tune the instrument. A tip: To check the pitch, you can either use a smartphone with a corresponding tuning app or a small clip-on tuner for guitars.
