Coconut shell kalimba, 'Blue Turtle Song'
Blue sea turtles grace this beautiful kalimba by Khoirul Anam. Crafted by hand, it is a colorful example of the popular instrument that originated in Africa. The thumb piano is easy to play and produces a hollow tone when its stainless steel leaves are plucked. The size and shape can vary, as they depend on the individual coconut shell that Anam uses.
