MULTIFUNKTIONAL
Das Tolle an den MEINL Kalimbas, dass sie neben ihrer Zugänglichkeit für jedermann multifunktional sind. Perkussionisten nutzen diese Instrumente, um in einem Aufnahmestudio subtile Klangschichten hinzuzufügen, Klangtherapeuten setzen sie zur Meditation und Entspannung ein, und Sie können diese Instrumente einfach zu Hause genießen, wie es Ihnen gefällt. Kalimbas machen jedem Musikliebhaber Spaß, unabhängig von Herkunft, Alter oder Kenntnisstand.
KLANGERFAHRUNG
Verchromte Stahlzinken erzeugen einen perkussiven und melodischen Klang, wenn man sie mit den Fingern oder Daumen zupft. Jeder Zinken ist auf eine Tonhöhe innerhalb einer für das jeweilige Kalimba-Modell festgelegten Tonleiter voreingestimmt.
Sie können sich in jede Richtung über die Zinken bewegen, mit völliger Freiheit, um endlose Melodien zu erzeugen. Darüber hinaus wird durch das gleichzeitige Anschlagen zweier beliebiger Noten ein Akkord erzeugt.
AUSGEWÄHLTES HOLZ
Die MEINL Solid und Wah-Wah Kalimbas verwenden neuseeländische Kiefer wegen ihres geringen Gewichts und ihrer Haltbarkeit. Dieser hölzerne Boden trägt auch dazu bei, einen natürlichen Resonanzton zu erzeugen, indem er die Metallzinken frei ausklingen lässt.
WAH-WAH KALIMBA
Unsere Wah-Wah Kalimba hat einen ausgehöhlten Körper mit einer Öffnung, die Ihnen zugewandt ist. Um einen Wah-Wah-Effekt zu erzielen, drücken Sie während des Spielens die Öffnung des Instruments auf Ihren Oberkörper und entfernen Sie sie wieder. Dieser Klang ist ideal, um bei einer Studioaufnahme faszinierende akustische Klanglandschaften zu erzeugen.
PICKUP KALIMBA
Wenn eine zusätzliche Verstärkung für Live-Shows benötigt wird, ist die Meinl Pickup Kalimba mit einem Tonabnehmersystem mit externer Lautstärkeregelung ausgestattet.
How to get quick, easy wins making music
Plus, why Meinl Sonic Energy Kalimbas are great for meditation
There are instruments that don't require perfectionism to sound great. If you're not a musician, here's your first lesson.
Within a scale (musical notes ordered by pitch), you are free to make any decision on what to play, and the notes will always be in sync. Using this principle, the Meinl Sonic Energy Kalimbas are pre-tuned to a single scale so you can create music with no prior training or massive learning curve, which means no worrying about wrong notes.
It's this easy — pluck the steel keys with your thumbs in any order or combination to create a melody or chord. These Kalimbas are also painless to learn songs on, and their pre-tuned scale allows you to play anything from classical pieces to lullabies. But ease of use is only part of the story. A light, airy sound full of depth, body and delicate articulation is the hallmark of Meinl Sonic Energy Kalimbas — and their distinct sound can be used so many ways.
From music to meditation
The great thing about Meinl Sonic Energy Kalimbas, besides their accessibility to anyone, is their ability to create a calming effect on your senses. Right away, you'll feel a soothing, ambient tone fill the space around you as you pluck the steel tines (or keys). The top grade materials we use deliver a pleasant and pure sound that has the power to shift your focus and clear your mind.

WHAT ARE KALIMBAS AND WHAT MAKES MEINL'S SPECIAL?
Choose between three different construction types: Hollow, solid and Wah-wah Kalimba
All Meinl Sonic Energy hollow body Kalimbas feature a sound hole, which helps, similar to the hole of an acoustic guitar, spreading the tone naturally.
Engraved around the sound hole is a design that gives each Kalimba a unique, cultural look. That makes them look great on display in your home, studio, classroom or meditation space even when not in use.
Solid Kalimbas meanwhile are known for their sturdy, compact design and dense warm sound.
The smooth edges and body surface provide a pleasant feel and sleek appearance.
Kalimbas with a body-oriented soundhole are called Wah-wah Kalimbas. Wah-wah Kalimbas add a new dimension to the sound by letting the player vary the frequency focus put out by the instrument and thus creating different sounds similar to wah-pedal for guitars.
Pre-tuned and ready to play right out of the box
The African thumb piano, or Kalimba is a percussion instrument consisting of a number of thin metal blades (keys) mounted on a soundbox or soundboard. Sometimes they're made with a sound hole in the middle, sometimes they're made from solid wood.
