Hokema Sansula Basic A minor – kalimba with sound membrane, 9 tines, spherical floating tone, hand-crafted in Germany

A spherical, floating sound that almost plays itself under your thumbs

The Hokema Sansula Basic in A minor is far more than a kalimba: it is a special design in which the sound tines sit on a fine membrane stretched over an open frame. This is exactly what gives it that unmistakable, floating sound that makes it a beloved companion for relaxation, meditation, sound massage and musical play. Hokema handcrafts it in Germany, and from the very first pluck you can feel it: every note rings out warm, round and full of overtones.

The sound is created on the membrane, not in a wooden box

Unlike a classic kalimba, the vibration of the nine tuned tines is transferred to a stretched cellulose membrane. The sound block at the centre produces a long, soft tone with that characteristic spherical resonance. The oval frame of layer-glued European beech and the body of solid American cherry form the stable, resonant foundation.

Harmoniously tuned for instant success

The A minor tuning, with the note sequence a-c-c-a-a-f-e-e-b, is arranged so that all the notes sound harmonious together. You can simply pluck away without ever hitting a wrong note, which makes getting started effortless even without prior experience. If you want more, open and close the underside of the frame against your leg or knee to create an expressive wah-wah effect.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Spherical floating sound: the membrane design produces the long, soft tone the Sansula is famous for.
• Playable right away: the harmonious A minor tuning lets even beginners play beautiful melodies.
• Expressive wah-wah effect: by opening and closing the underside of the frame you modulate the sound.
• High-quality materials: solid cherry, European beech and a fine cellulose membrane.
• Handcrafted in Germany: carefully made and plastic-free packaging.
