The Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba is the original kalimba made since 1960.
With galician open, asturian and great Highland scotish fingering. Portable. Carrying in your pocket: Ø16 x 249 mm. You do not need anything else, just a headset (not included).
Shamanic drum made of goatskin. Deep sound. The wood is of birch. They incorporate a system of tuners very simple to use, that consists of knots that are moved simply with the hand. This is very practical, since we can compensate for variations of the tension with the humidity of the weather, and also allows to adjust the sound to taste of each one, being able to make it to sound lower or higher. Handmade in Spain.

The appearance is different in each model as it depends on the animal's skin.

This is a support for the top part of the chanter for anyone who needs the added stability. You hold it against your chest while playing, and you can use it with straight or angled earphone/MIDI connector. It snaps on nicely to the top bit of the chanter, and there's plenty of room around the top thumb contact.
The pentatonic scale is also called the "no fault scale". It starts out like "Do-Re-Mi", skips "fa", continues with "So-La", and skips "Ti". So, there are 5 notes. You can play in G major or E minor. This is an excellent kalimba for people with little or no musical experience, but experienced musicians can really fly on this one, as the pentatonic scale lets you apply all your speed and shine almost without you having to think at all (yes, you remember the "blues scale" on guitar -- this is it!) With pick-up.
