Hokema Sansula Basic Melody G major – kalimba with sound membrane, 11 tines, spherical floating tone, hand-crafted in Germany

Floating, spherical sound from solid cherry wood

With the Hokema Sansula Basic Melody, you immerse yourself in a soundscape that touches the soul and invites calm. Made in Germany, this thumb piano combines a patented membrane-resonance principle with a warm, overtone-rich tone. Whether for relaxation, sound therapy, music lessons or simply intuitive playing in the evening, this instrument invites beginners and experienced players alike to dream.

Long, soft sound thanks to membrane resonance

What makes the Sansula special is its construction: the vibration of each plucked tine is first captured within the solid American cherry block and then transferred to a fine cellulose membrane. This membrane noticeably extends each note and creates that characteristic floating, spherical sound, which is released from the instrument with great ease.

11 tines in G major for greater melodic range

The Melody version carries an 11-tine set, offering a considerably wider range than the standard 9-tine model. Precisely factory-tuned to G major, it lets you play songs, melodies and accompanying chords, just as freely as it suits intuitive improvisation. The instrument grows along with your musical ideas.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Floating, spherical sound: the membrane principle delivers long sustain and a soft, overtone-rich tone.
• Greater melodic range: 11 tines in G major instead of the usual 9, more room for songs and chords.
• Fine materials: body of solid American cherry, frame of European beech.
• Ready to play: factory-tuned and intuitive to play, with no need to read music.
• Made in Germany: careful craftsmanship with Hokema's patented sound principle.

Usage Tip

For the full, floating sound, hold the Sansula loosely in both hands and let the membrane underneath vibrate freely. By gently tilting and moving the instrument while playing, you create a fascinating wah effect that further underscores its meditative character.
