Hokema - B11 Kalimba Melody

The B11 Melody kalimba is lovingly hand-crafted from solid American black cherry wood, its surface carefully polished with natural oils and waxes to bring out the wood’s warmth and living beauty.

With eleven precisely tuned tines in the key of G Major, this kalimba invites both familiar melodies and intuitive, wandering songs. Its harmonious tuning makes it easy to explore, whether following a known tune or simply letting the thumbs discover their own gentle rhythm.

The tines are thoughtfully arranged in alternating lengths, with the shorter tines slightly raised for ease of reach. This ergonomic design supports comfortable, natural playing, allowing the thumbs to move with ease and confidence.

Tuning (G Major): G, A, E, D, C, G, D, G, F♯, B, A

Many well-loved melodies can be played on the B11 Melody, while its balanced scale also makes it a beautiful instrument for improvisation and quiet musical play.

For fuller resonance, the kalimba may be played while resting on a table, drum, or other hollow surface, allowing the tones to deepen and carry.

Crafted from solid American cherry wood, each instrument offers a rich, resonant voice and enduring natural character.

Measurements: 5.5 × 4.1 × 2.4 inches
