The six shorter tines are bent with their ends raised above the longer tines, enabling easy reach by the thumbs. The eleven tines are numbered from left to right — even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) represent the longer tines, odd numbers the shorter. For single-voice melodies, the left thumb plays tines 1–6 and the right thumb plays tines 6–11.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2bZpTl1t_rE?rel=0\" title=\"Hokema B11 Melody Kalimba demonstration\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Add-Ons (Not Included)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weplaywelltogether.com\/products\/hokema-kalimbas-b11-softbag\" title=\"b11 softbag\"\u003eB11 Softbag\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced with fiberglass for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully padded interior for protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable shoulder strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects your Kalimba perfectly while traveling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow: hidden; margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weplaywelltogether.com\/products\/hokema-kalimbas-b11-softbag\" title=\"B11 softbag\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Hokema B11 Kalimba softbag\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2101\/9005\/files\/B7-9_2_x700_84a3f715-e172-4228-91c2-572cd7d11dbc_medium.jpg?v=1521938412\" style=\"float: right; margin: 3px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WePlayWellTogether","offers":[{"title":"Ignis (G-Major)","offer_id":48726457286848,"sku":"110901","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1643\/4015\/files\/F_B11_1.jpg?v=1786046965","url":"https:\/\/gongs-unlimited.com\/products\/hokema-b11-kalimba-melody","provider":"Gongs Unlimited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
