A hollow kalimba with pickup for amplified live performances.
The Sela Kalimba 17 Hollow Kalimba captivates with its hollow koa wood body. Like a guitar or ukulele, the resonance hole provides a robust, balanced tone. This model uniquely has an integrated pickup so you can connect to a PA system for amplified live shows or to recording devices in the studio. The Sela Kalimba 17 Hollow is specially crafted with fine koa wood, a rare Hawaiian acacia prized for instrument building thanks to its quality. You'll love how the koa wood provides a rich, resonant and well-balanced sound. Simply plug it into a PA system to amplify your kalimba for live performances on stage. You can also connect it to any recording interface to lay down tracks in the studio. The 17 metal keys produce a complete C major diatonic scale from C4 to E6. With all the notes harmonizing beautifully, it's easy for beginners to start playing melodies right away. A tuning hammer lets you retune the kalimba if needed. The included padded case has a carrying strap to protect your kalimba from damage. A cleaning cloth keeps it looking pristine. Everything you need is in one package.
