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.
