Chimes & Kalimba

The kalimba Now Is Amplified to boost the output, so your melody can carry on. The internal pre-amp means you won't have to worry about playing up close to the mic. An external volume knob lets you easily adjust to any situation.

The 66 bar chimes produce a rich and full sound. They cut through any band setting.

The sound is pure joy, and a great addition to any percussion kit.

Mein kalmias are great sounding melodic instruments with unique features. Solid construction, plated steel keys and an ergonomic shape makes them dependable musical tools. This kalmia is made for comfort. Seven wide steel nibs are specially designed to disperse the pressure on the fingertips. The result is a comfortable kalmia with an uncompromising sound.

The sound is pure joy, and a great addition to any percussion kit.

Everybody loves a little wah-wah, so MEINL came up with a kalimba featuring a body-oriented sound hole in place of the traditional style. You can create a great wah-wah effect by simply bouncing the kalimba body on and off your torso as you play. The position is comfortable and natural, while the sound gets shifted in creative ways.

"I wanted a wide spectrum!" comments Luis Conte. "The shorter bars deliver great high pitched sounds. I can get a full and bright chime sound from the medium and low pitched bars. They sound perfect especially in the studio."

Pearl has 32 and 14 aluminum and gold-plated steel bar chimes. They all have a lock and battery capacity, allowing multiple chimes to be stacked for double and triple row combinations.
