Introduction to Musical Instruments:
The kalimba is an African musical instrument consisting of a wooden board (often collated with a resonator) with attached staggered metal tines, playing by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs. Just need to use two thumbs to make a sound. The kalimba is classified as part of the lamellaphonefamily, and part of the idiophone family of musical instruments.
The Kalymba/Thumb Piano is an African musical instrument. It is a plucked type of body-sounding instrument. It has an ethereal sound and is very beautiful. It is quite common in sub-Saharan Africa. Kalimba, Mbira, Kaffir piano, etc. are separate body-sounding instruments, specifically a percussion instrument. The thumb piano is made by fixing metal pieces of different lengths on a wooden board. You can adjust the pitch of the instrument by adjusting metal pieces of different lengths. The longest metal piece is usually placed in the middle of the instrument, and the shorter metal piece (higher) is placed on both sides in order of length.
The thumb piano was made and played using materials such as bamboo and trees more than 3,000 years ago, and metal bars have been used since more than 1,000 years ago. Coconut shell resonance boxes, wooden strips, metal strips, screws, etc., are body-sounding instruments, usually played in religious ceremonies or social activities.
