12 Note Cherry Thumb Piano

Clean lines and solid construction distinguish the Zither Heaven thumb piano from the multitude of other varieties created around the world. The keys on the 12 note thumb piano form a diatonic scale. To play the thumb piano (also known as the mbira or kalimba), the musician pushes down on a key with a thumb or finger. When the key is released, the vibration resonates in the wooden body. Anyone who picks up one of these instruments can make a great sound right away. With little effort, familiar tunes can be played.
