Overview
Sansula Renaissance Kalimba
The Sansula - a patented invention from HOKEMA - is a novel further development of the Kalimba (also called Sansa or Mbira), which has its origin in southern Africa. Kalimbas are sound tongue instruments that are plucked with the thumbs or fingers. In Africa, they can be found in countless shapes and designs in which the vibration of the tongue is amplified in various ways (e.g. on a resonance box, a hollow body such as a kalebass pumpkin or simply a piece of solid wood). In the sansula, the vibration of the tongue is first 'stored' in a wooden block, which then transmits it to a sound membrane. In this way, the sound is then audible much longer than with other methods of sound amplification. Supported by the tuning - octaves lie together - a wonderful, soft, overtone-rich sound is created, which can be easily elicited from the instrument. Factory mood:
A minor ( a' - c'' - c' - a' - a - f' - e' - e'' - h' ).
Handmade in Germany from solid American cherry.
