{"product_id":"meinl-kalimba-7-notes-modele-moyen-noir-230629","title":"SOLID KALIMBAS MEDIUM","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kalimba belongs to the lamellophone family, instruments with plucked tines that have long been present in many African traditions. Its modern version, more compact and designed for learning, has spread widely thanks to its immediate playability and its soft timbre, easy to integrate into any musical environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003emedium 7-note model\u003c\/strong\u003e is positioned as an accessible and reassuring kalimba: fewer notes to memorize, more direct playing, and enhanced ergonomics thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003ewide tines\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a particularly relevant format for starting out, accompanying workshops, or having a small expressive instrument handy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kalimba is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e, occasional musicians, and anyone who wants a simple instrument to play short tunes, improvise, or relax. With \u003cstrong\u003e7 notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, reading and memorization are faster than with larger models, promoting natural progress from the very first minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits \u003cstrong\u003elounge\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eambient\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic pop\u003c\/strong\u003e genres, relaxation music, as well as educational activities (rhythm, listening, thumb coordination). The \u003cstrong\u003ewide tines\u003c\/strong\u003e are also a real asset for sensitive hands, beginners lacking confidence, or those seeking a more comfortable sensation during repeated sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main interest of this model lies in its \"essential and comfortable\" approach. The \u003cstrong\u003emedium\u003c\/strong\u003e size offers a good compromise: enough body volume to let the sound breathe, while remaining easy to carry and hold. The \u003cstrong\u003ewide tines\u003c\/strong\u003e improve gesture stability: the thumb places more naturally, the pressure is more definite, and it is easier to achieve a consistent attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003e7 notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, the kalimba invites playing the essentials: simple melodies, ostinatos, light accompaniments, and small improvisations. This deliberate limitation becomes a musical advantage, as it encourages working on touch, nuance, and rhythmic placement rather than getting lost in a large number of tines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice of \u003cstrong\u003ehevea\u003c\/strong\u003e for the body contributes to a generally \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced\u003c\/strong\u003e sound signature, with a feeling of \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e in the midrange and good coherence between notes. On a kalimba, the wood influences how the instrument \"carries\": the body contributes to projection, the softness of the timbre, and the sustain of notes after the tine attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ewide tines\u003c\/strong\u003e also play a role in sound perception: they promote a more controlled attack and a more stable response under the thumb, helping to produce clear and homogeneous notes. The result: a soft, pleasant instrument to the ear, easily integrated into solo playing, soundscapes, or light percussion ensembles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of blades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ekalimba\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ekalimba\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ewood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ekalimba (lamellophone)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e7 notes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emedium model\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehevea\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ewide (enhanced playing comfort)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360893522195,"sku":"230629","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/5be5089616db9254f2f369756fea86faf9a5d8cf_MEINL_KA7MBK.jpg?v=1787598122","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-solid-kalimbas-medium-230629","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
