Playing music together and by yourself

The Twin Kalimba was developed for playing music together. It features identically tuned sets of sound tongues on both sides of the thumb piano. This allows you to play the Kalimba by yourself or with another person. A particularly rich, resonant sound with many overtones is produced because the opposite tongue vibrates along with every note played.

The Twin Kalimba can be played both alone and with a second person – discover its harmonious sound possibilities through free play.

Area of Application and Benefits

The Twin Kalimba can be played both with others and by yourself. Use it for shared music-making, sound therapy, educational purposes, or therapeutic settings. When playing together, two people sit opposite each other, each playing one set of tongues. This sound instrument is played simply with the thumbs by gently pressing down and releasing the metal tongues. If you play the Twin Kalimba alone, hold it horizontally in both hands and play both sets of tongues simultaneously, one with each thumb.

Sound

Whether you play the Twin Kalimba alone or with a partner, the identically tuned rows of notes always create harmonious melodies. The distinctively rich, resonant sound with many overtones is produced because the opposite tongue vibrates along with every note played. The resulting sounds merge into a shared sonic space that is not only audible but also palpable.
