Hokema Kalimba B17 – 17-tine thumb piano in C major, solid cherry, hand-crafted in Germany, chord magnets included

Warm tine-piano magic, crafted in a German workshop

The Hokema Kalimba B17 in C major invites you to dip your thumbs into a soft, meditative world of sound. This thumb piano has its roots in southern Africa – Hokema builds it by hand with great care in Germany, raising it to true manufactory level. Whether as your first instrument, a companion for sound relaxation or an expressive tool for musicians: the B17 combines easy playability with a clear, carrying tone.

Solid cherry for a full, warm sound

The body is made of solid American cherry, hand-crafted and treated and polished with vegetable oils and waxes. This dense tonewood gives the B17 its warm, overtone-rich foundation – every plucked note rings out long and round. The oiled surface feels pleasant to the touch and develops a beautiful patina over the years.

17 tines in C major – start playing right away

The 17 sound tines are precisely tuned to the C major scale. Countless well-known melodies are therefore right under your thumbs, with no need to read music. The B17 is just as well suited to chordal accompaniment, improvising and intuitive playing – an instrument that rewards beginners quickly while giving advanced players room to express themselves. The 18 included chord magnets let you adjust the tuning to your taste.

Your benefits at a glance:
