Hluru Ocean-Inspired Kalimba Thumb Piano - 17 Note

The Deep Sea Blue Whale Kalimba: A Fusion of Nature and Craft

Explore the depths of acoustic innovation with our 17-note kalimba, inspired by the majestic deep sea. This kalimba is a harmonious blend of beechwood and resin, resulting in a creatively designed thumb piano that captures the essence of the ocean's wonders.

Ingenious Design for Optimal Sound

To ensure the kalimba's tonal integrity, AuraDrum engineers have meticulously designed the tines to sit on the wooden portion of the instrument, avoiding the resin to prevent sound absorption. This careful placement preserves the natural acoustic properties of the wood, allowing for a pure and resonant sound.

Beechwood Characteristics: Elegance and Consistency

The beechwood used in this kalimba is selected for its excellent luster and vibrant color. With minimal color variation, the wood grain is clear, uniform, and straight, adding to the instrument's aesthetic beauty with its delicate texture and distinctive, dark streaks or patterns.

Epoxy Resin Features: Clarity and Artistic Flair

The epoxy resin complements the beechwood with its crystal-clear quality and rich texture, enabling the creation of exquisite 3D sculptural effects. It serves not just as a design element but as a durable and visually striking counterpart to the organic wood.

Sound Qualities (Beechwood + Epoxy Resin)

The combination of beechwood and epoxy resin in this kalimba produces a bright and clear sound, with a moderate volume and sustain. The materials work together to provide a balanced audio experience, with the beechwood enhancing the warmth and the resin adding to the instrument's overall clarity.

The Aura of the Blue Whale Kalimba

This kalimba doesn't just play music; it tells a story. The serene silhouette of the blue whale cast in resin against the wood grain backdrop creates a sense of calm as profound as the deep sea itself. Each note played on this kalimba is an echo of the ocean's vast and rhythmic heartbeat.
