Beginnerfriendly kalimba with engraved note markings and solid wood body Key benefits Engraved note markings on each key provide a clear, permanent guide for beginners, avoiding the peeling or loss common with sticker labels. Solid wood body and carefully matched internal structure transmit vibration from the metal tines evenly, producing a clear, resonant tone across the instrument. Selected solid wood construction preserves direct and full vibration of the soundboard for consistent sustain and tonal balance. Sturdy materials and reliable assembly make the instrument durable for regular practice and casual playing. Features and performance Notemarked keys: permanent engravings help players learn note positions and fingerings faster and with less guesswork.
