This is not your average thumb piano!
Built from a real cigar box and fitted with bicycle spoke tines, this one-of-a-kind kalimba produces a warm, metallic, and slightly percussive tone with plenty of character. Whether you're playing ambient textures, rhythmic riffs, or running it through effects, it’s made to inspire.

Features:
Cigar Box Body – Resonant, lightweight, and naturally aged
Bicycle Spoke Tines
Two Internal Piezo Pickups – Captures both vibrations and subtle acoustic resonance
Standard 1/4" Output Jack – Plug straight into an amp, pedalboard, or interface
Fully Passive – No batteries required

Tone & Feel:
The bicycle spokes create a naturally warm sound that excites the wood to play beautifully clean or distorted. The dual piezos offer a fuller capture than a single mic, picking up nuances from both the bottom and front of the instrument.
