***
This kalimba is made of olive wood, we have never before encountered this type of wood in these instruments. It was after various tests that we chose this wood, very dense, of great beauty, with a delicate olive scent. A pleasure to observe, to play, a natural beauty.
A round and warm sound of great richness, an intimate and reassuring tone, the softness of a caress, it is a kalimba which refers to the warmth of home, hence its name, HESTIA, Greek goddess fireplace.
The sound volume is lower than on other kalimba in the Utopia range, the highs are a little drier. The tone is somewhat reminiscent of an acoustic guitar, the vibration in the hand is powerful and enveloping.
This kalimba has been specially designed for severe anxiety problems and players prone to hyperacusis.

Which tuning should you choose?
All our instruments are tuned to 440 Hz , major scale. Whichever tuning you choose, you’ll be able to play the same pieces, as kalimba sheet music is written using numbers: the fingerings will remain the same, and the music will sound slightly lower or slightly higher depending on the tuning you choose.
As each piece of wood is unique, with slight variations in density, we select the tuning that sounds best after several tests. We therefore advise against retuning the instrument to a higher pitch. However, it is generally possible to tune it to a lower pitch.
