Description from Amazon USA :
- Sheesham thumb piano, 3" x 5", 8 metal keys.
- The thumb piano originates in Africa. It is also known as the mbira or likembe.
- The metal keys are mounted on a wooden box that acts as the resonating chamber. Longer keys have lower pitches and shorter keys have higher pitches.
- The keys can be adjusted by tapping them in or out to adjust their pitch. Many different tunings are acceptable, according to personal preference.
- Similar tuning is only an issue when two instruments are played together; then they should generally agree in tuning.
