Our kalimba from the "UTOPIA" series are chromatic, and therefore have tones and semitones, for a release of musical possibilities and increased pleasure!
Our patented bracket system gives our signature sound: that of a very pure and more "joyful" kalimba on the lower level, and a timbre which is colored with a slight resonance close to the tongue drum on the upper level, to make alterations more dramatic.
The kalimba from the UTOPIA series therefore produce a sound that is always clean, full of depth and life, and hold tuning extremely well over time to make your life easier!
The 37K version is the most complete in the range, it is available in 34K too.
"SELENE" is a cristal-like sound kalimba, with medium sound volume and soft character . timber is clear and shiny , with eerie feeling. it kinds of sound like a nice music box. sound sustain is medium in our range .
Its harmony table is made of a light colored and strong ashwood. Each SELENE kalimba is unique. Ghost reflections appear and dissapear when light plays with them.; the resin art is very deep.
Visual texture is a mix between moonstone and the moon, like a bridge between two worlds. The back is made of mineral waxed wood, to keep its softness, warmth, and a better grip in hands
Gemstone, satellite, moon goddess, Selene kalimba is all of this in a single instrument!
Vibrations in hands is soft compared with other utopia kalimbas.
Follow Selene's voice in the cold night, soothed and bathed in the moonlight.

What tone and frequency should you choose?
All our instruments are tuned in major mode.
Since kalimba scores are encrypted, whatever key you choose, the piece of music will be transposed to the key of your instrument.
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 37K kalimba are mainly available in B and Bb. The C is rare and does not always appear in a series. We therefore strongly suggest keeping an open mind when choosing tuning if C is not absolutely necessary, to make it easier for you to obtain an instrument.
The 440Hertz frequency is the standard used in music currently, but we also find instruments with a 432hz frequency. 432 is often preferred for relaxation and meditation because it is slightly lower pitched than 440 Hz. 432hz is only available in C and B tunings.
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.
