Made from local cherry wood, naturally dried for 30 to 40 years, “BREATH” is an invitation to calm and relaxation.
The sound is clear and full of roundness, warm and positive! The vibration in the hands is very strong and allows you to feel the music physically
This kalimba benefits from excellent sound projection, for those who want to be able to take off with power, or on the contrary remain soft. The note duration is median, which makes this kalimba an instrument suitable for both slow music and faster, rhythmic playing.
All this makes BREATH very effective against stress and anxiety, helping to breathe (hence its name and design) and better cut through difficult-to-manage emotions.
BREATH is also the featherweight of our range, with a weight varying from 450 to 520g.

Which tone to choose?
All our instruments are tuned in major mode. Whatever tuning you choose, you will be able to play the same pieces, the kalimba scores being encrypted. Make your choice based on your hearing preferences. Are you more sensitive to high or low sounds?
Do you like high pitched sounds? Choose a C B
Do you like midrange sounds? Choose an A or a G
Do you like bass sounds? Choose an F# F or Low E
In case of specific needs or hesitation in the choice of your instrument, you can refer to our guide HERE
The C tuning is only really useful in the case of a playing project with other musical instruments or for writing by ear, with audio support and without a score, your own covers and scores.
The C being rare and not always appearing in a series, we strongly suggest keeping an open mind when choosing the tuning if the one in C is not absolutely necessary, to make it easier for you to obtainun instrument
Each piece of wood being unique, with its small differences in density, we choose the tuning that sounds best after several tests. We therefore advise you to keep this tuning in the future.
