Kalimbas are metal-tined instruments that originated in southern Africa, where they can be found in countless variations. The Hokema B15 G-Major is meticulously handcrafted from solid American black cherry wood, with a surface treated and polished with natural oils and waxes.

The Dual-Tier Design

Unlike the B17 or B17 Mini, the B15 features a unique dual-tier design with varying tine widths — giving you two distinct playing zones in one instrument.

• Bottom tines (wider): Designed for playing rich chords and steady accompaniment. Their wider profile produces a resonant, grounded bass and mid-range that acts as the anchor for your music.
• Top tines (narrower): Optimized for speed and precision — ideal for intricate melodies and soaring lead lines.

Tuning

G-Major: F#, E’, D’, C’, B’, A, G’, G, A’, B, C”, D’, E”, F#’, G”
(Note: H in the original German notation = B in international notation)
