Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

MEINL’s 17-note Wah-Wah Kalimba pairs a C Major layout with an acacia body and a player-facing soundhole. Moving the instrument on and off your belly while playing changes the sound for a wah-wah effect, giving the performance an extra hands-on element. The 17 notes are arranged within C Major, and the included case, cotton bag, microfiber cloth, and tuning hammer cover protection, cleaning, storage, and retuning.
