How did I get here from ponies?

Street sweeper metal brush tines, bicycle spokes, pieces of bamboo,
metal straps... lots of things. 1300 years ago, Iron.
And now spring steel.

These tines are made of plated spring steel. I don't make these, they are made in Germany by Peter Hokema's company.

@pax918273 I've heard of people using rake tines for kalimbas.

what kind of metal strips do you use?

I never noticed that they don't have 7ths. Now I can't stop hearing it. How interesting...

Jo, This is a special tuning.... though the standard tuning is missing 7ths (and 4ths too)!

Are these instruments originally from Africa?

Yes, the kalimba was originally from Africa - now people make them all over the world. The frame drum of the sansula is a very recent innovation, made by Peter Hokema around 2000. -Mark
