A Glimpse into the Hokema B17 C Major

The Hokema B17 C Major is a captivating Kalimba that brings musicians a harmonious blend of simplicity and versatility.

What I love about the Hokema B17 Kalimba

First, this is one of the widest in the range from Hokema, so if you have very small hands, perhaps the B11 Melody may be better for you. In any case, the beauty of this model is the scale and, of course, the 17 tuned tines that allow two Octaves of the C-Major Scale and a world of creativity, not to mention the transposition of well know tunes to replicate.

It feels sturdy in your hands and is surprisingly easy to play, especially if you like to add in thumb runs, much like you would on a piano. This is a thumb piano after all!

The larger board allows more resonance and volume and is finished beautifully and super smooth. When I feel particularly creative or want to record some accompaniment to my other instruments this is my go-to from Hokema.
