The Kalimba is a modern version of the African mbira. The word “Kalimba” literally means little music. Different country named it differently, the other more common name is mbira used in Zimbabwe. Additionally, there are more generic names of finger harp, gourd piano, and thumb piano that are often used in the west. It is mainly named for using the thumb to move the sheet on the body (mainly made of wood, bamboo, and metal in modern development).
Resonant Box vs Flat Board
Some kalimbas were made on hollow resonant bodies (with sound hole), while some were mounted on a flat board (without any sound hole). The box-mounted kalimbas are louder and you can get a great “wah-wah” sound effect by covering and uncovering the sound holes.
