Luna Guitars Lizard 17 Key Flat Base Kalimba - Key of C Standard

'Mo’o' means 'lizard' in Hawaiian which, to the early Hawaiians, was a symbol of spirituality and good fortune. The lizards on the Mo’o Kalimba are set against the leaves of Monstera Deliciosa, a plant found throughout Hawaii. Built with all-solid okoume wood body, the Luna Mo’o Lizard 17-Key kalimba features a laser-etched lizard on monstera design. Keep your Kalimba in-tune to the Key of C with the tuning hammer and instruction booklet to use as a reference. A gig bag with a strap is also included along with a polishing cloth and an extra soft carrying bag inside.

The earliest Kalimba-style instruments evolved from the mbira family, a family of percussive instruments originating thousands of years ago in Zimbabwe. With deep roots leading back to African culture and musical traditions, the kalimba has played a variety of different musical roles throughout history. Today, the kalimba is not only used to accompany modern instruments on stage and appear on musical albums but also as a form of relaxation and a method to escape the stresses of everyday life. Be sure to take your Mo’o kalimba on your next journey, wherever the music may take you.
