HT117P ... Hugh Tracey Celeste Pentatonic Kalimba

Groth Music is pleased to once again offer the Hugh Tracey line of Kalimbas, thanks to the efforts of kalimba master Mark Holdaway. The Hugh Tracey Kalimbas are the original kalimbas made by African Musical Instruments in Grahamstown, South Africa since 1965. Made from kiaat wood and high quality spring steel, these are real musical instruments and are easy to play, not just a pretty coffee table ornament. The pentatonic scale is also called the "no fault scale". It starts out like "Do-Re-Mi", skips "fa", continues with "So-La", and skips "Ti". So, there are 5 notes. You can play in G major or E minor. This is an excellent kalimba for people with little or no musical experience, but experienced musicians can really fly on this one, as the pentatonic scale lets you apply all your speed and shine almost without you having to think at all (yes, you remember the "blues scale" on guitar -- this is it!) The small sound board is well-suited for small hands or children. The small board also permits using the right index finger up-stroke method typically used in mbira playing. A nice trick to increase the volume is to hold it against a window or a table as a sounding board.b
