Kalimba

The plucked instrument is known by many names including but not limited to the thumb piano in western regions, the Sanza, marimba, and Mbira in Africa where the instrument originated and the more popular name is the kalimba. This musical instrument got its name from the trademarked version invented by Hugh Tracey but it has come a long way over the years.
