A beautifully crafted jempinis wood turtle, with a shell of natural coconut, swims gracefully beneath stainless steel tines in this gorgeous kalimba, or thumb piano, by Balinese artisan Trisna Dewi. Traditionally a musical instrument from Africa, this plucked idiophone produces a hollow tone when the tines are strummed. The word kalimba is a Bantu word which means "little music".

"Wind chimes"
I just received this today and one of the tubular bars was broken off and I had to restring it with regular thread. Not happy about that.
