The thumb piano is a westernised name for the mbira or kalimba, a traditional sub-Saharan African instrument. Made from polished coconut shell, it is played by plucking the fixed metal tines with the thumbs, producing a warm, resonant tone.

Available in two designs — painted or carved. Please note colours and designs may vary from the images shown as each instrument is handmade.
