Customer Rating: Summary: Turtle Music Comment: This is the best present ever for a bohemian/musician person. Its entrancing, you just look at it and want to play it. Plus its turtle shape is beautiful. Imogen Heap uses an Mbira in some of her songs.
This beautifully crafted sea turtle shaped Karimba (also knows as a kalimba, Mbira or Thumb Piano) is hand made from coconut shell, with the legs, tail and head hand carved from Indonesian Albessia wood.Metal keys are suspended above the acoustic chamber and when plucked with the fingers or thumbs make a delightfully rich note. This gorgeous mbira is great for use as a decoration, and makes a great educational gift for children. NOTE: Because these are hand-carved, there may be slight differences in design from the pictures. We have a limited supply of these, so don't delay. Get yours now!
