## Overview

The HOKEMA Kalimba B9 is a finely crafted thumb piano made in Germany with a solid American Cherrywood body. Featuring 9 tines tuned to a harmonious a-minor scale, it delivers soothing, meditative tones with tactile vibrations that resonate through your hands. Compact and intuitive, it’s perfect for beginners and experienced players seeking stress relief, musical exploration, and effortless melodic creation.

## Description

The B9, as we call it, is a small, handy kalmia with a solid resonance corpus of American Cherrywood. It is the ‘sister’ of the B7 model. The magic of playing this kalimba and her sisters is resulted from the fact that the vibrations of the tines is significantly felt in the hands of the player and thus the sounds are transmitted into his/her body and bestow a magic peaceful feeling. The tuning of the kalmia b9 is identical to that of the sensual. It is in a-minor with additional tines tuned to band f. As all the notes harmonies with each other, beginners also enjoy immediate success with their instrument. The sounds produced are therefore always in harmony and the playing is easy and intuitive, so beginners also enjoy immediate success with this instrument.

Review: An absolute gem - Hokema makes some of the best Kalimbas out there in terms of materials, craftmanship, and tone quality. The B9 is no exception – this is solid German engineering translated into a precision musical instrument. The tines are more substantial than on other Kalimbas I have played, and they all produce a very similar volume and sustain, which is not an easy feat to achieve (most Kalimbas sound warm and full at the low end and then taper into a tinny “plink” towards the top end). The hardwood body feels very nice in hand, and the vibrations it passes through create a very pleasant tactile feedback when playing. The B9 is tuned to a-minor, which produces a lovely flow of tones. This scale is not as “obviously happy” as c-major or g-major. It carries more nuance and depth, and leans heavily towards meditative, calming, and relaxing sounds. The nine tines of the B9 provide a careful selection of notes (A’ - C’ - C - A’ - A - F - E - E’ - H’). These will all harmonize with each other, with the only exception being the H’, which can create a bit of tension when played with the C and A notes. This is similar to a well-tuned wind chime. Two tines (1 and 4) are tuned to A’, giving you that same note on both the lower and the upper level of the tines. The limited number of 8 notes in total (as the A’ is included twice) means that you will not be able to play your favorite pop songs or children’s tunes, simply because you will quickly run into “missing” notes. This is not what this instrument is intended for, though. Hokema’s B11 (g-major) and B17 (c-major), or any of the other 17-tine Kalimbas out there are much better for that. The B9 absolutely shines, however, when it comes to accessibility and intuitive play to create calming and relaxing harmonies and melodies. The limited scale makes it so easy to play, and pretty much impossible to create anything but very pleasing sounds and melodies from this little gem. Pretty much anybody can play this Kalimba, even the completely inexperienced or musically illiterate can pick this up and play good sounding music without any learning curve or instructions required. A child can play the B9 intuitively and experience the ability to create harmonious notes and melodies, encouraging musical exploration and experimentation. But it is also a great entry into the wonderful world of Kalimba music for adults, and a very unique instrument for stress-free improvisation in the hands of more experienced musicians. And because it is a very soothing scale, it is a fantastic tool for meditation, for calming stress or anxiety, and for playing improvised lullabies.
Review: Lovely, well crafted - Not your average kalimba. This is very well-made and has beautiful tone.

Not your average kalimba. This is very well-made and has beautiful tone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice instrument! Just one thing...
*by "***" on May 4, 2020*

I just received the Hokema Kalimba B9 in the mail. It arrived in perfect condition and is a nice new instrument. It looks great, feels good in my hands, and sounds beautiful right out of the box. I'm looking forward to playing it more. I would give it 5 stars but two of the 9 notes are the exact same note, same octave. Sort of makes it a B8 in effect. I've loved playing my Kalimba B5 and wanted one with more notes. Neither one came with a tuning instrument or instructions, which I wouldn't expect since it supposedly comes from the company already tuned. I hope that in the future, Hokema will consider including instructions for tuning in the instrument box. Yes, I'm aware that there are websites and videos how to tune, blah blah blah. It would be a nice touch to have a little manual to help out the musicians and beginners who have invested in a new instrument. In the meantime, I'll look up the instructions and enjoy my new instruments. I would recommend Hokema Kalimbas to friends, family members, and anyone curious enough to try one out. They are easy to play, sound beautiful, and are a peaceful way to relax. Put your smart phone down and pick up a Hokema Kalimba. You'll be glad you did!
