The notes of the Sela Kalimba 21 Maple are all within the C major scale and range from F3 to E6. The Sela 21-tine kalimbas are therefore pitched four notes lower than the 17-key models. Since all the notes are also harmonically tuned, even beginners can quickly compose exciting melodies with this instrument and accompany or play songs written in C major. Thanks to the higher number of tines, the playing possibilities are even a bit more extensive than with the 17-key kalimbas.
The Sela Kalimba 21 Black Walnut comes with a high-quality case, equipped with a carrying strap and suitable padding, which effectively protects the instrument from damage during storage and transport. A microfiber cloth for cleaning the kalimba and a tuning hammer are also included. The latter is necessary for retuning the instrument. A tip: to check the pitch, you can use a smartphone with a corresponding tuning app or a small clip-on tuner for guitars.
