    Description

    Vintage African Mbira also known as a Kalimba or Thumb Piano this one deserves to be played more. It also makes a nice display.
    This was gift from Father from his trip to South Africa in mid 1980's.  I assume it is native made as he was hands-on guy.  Not a commercial, factory made item as most all offered for sale on  EBAY are.  Why get a factory made one unless for a Kalimba band?   This is the real thing.
    This mbira is made of a beautiful piece of wood with carved designs.
    Unlike many newer instruments, this one is made from a single resonant piece of wood. I am not a musician but each tine sounds nice.
    Probably needs adjustment.
