Percussion Plus Honestly Made carved coconut thumb piano

Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made carved coconut thumb piano

From the Percussion Plus Honestly Made range, this carved coconut thumb piano, also known as a kalimba, is crafted in Bali from the shell of a coconut, which amplifies a rich and resonant sound. Placed on top of the coconut is a beautifully carved piece of wood, which has detailed pattens etched into it.

The calming sound of the thumb piano is produced by striking down the tips of the metal keys with your thumbs. The 7 notes on this instrument can be played in varying combinations to create many relaxing tunes. The size of this piano makes it great for beginners, and the gentle sound it creates is perfect for music therapy sessions.

Each instrument is hand made using traditional materials and methods. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of instruments from Percussion Plus.

These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision.

Tune your instrument

The keys of this thumb piano are tuneable using the metal screws holding them in place. Tighten to raise the pitch and loosen to lower - just make sure not to loosen too far. Utilise this to match the pitch in an ensemble, recording session, or just to vary your sound.

Our sustainable packaging

A key principle of Honestly Made is sustainability, and we’ve modified our packaging of these items accordingly. Many products are simply labelled with a recyclable cardboard tag and shipped exactly as we received them, but for cases where extra packaging is required, we have also adopted fully recyclable and biodegradable glassine paper bags.

Naturally, we don’t want to waste our pre-existing packaging material, meaning you might still receive some of these products in classic, non-glassine packaging. If so, rest assured that your order has contributed to our collective waste management mission.
