Kalimba
Sansa The instrument is a small lamellophone made of calabar with the eight lamellae attached in a W-shaped chain-stitch arrangement. The resonance box was nailed together from no less than six rectangular parts: Soundboard, back and four side walls: the absence of any decoration is striking.
