SCHLAGWERK MA840 Marimbula | 8 Notes-F Pentatonic Percussion Instrument

The bass voice of the kalimba family: Schlagwerk's marimbula is a sit-on plucked bass with instant, joyful musicality.

Eight broad steel tongues tuned to a friendly F pentatonic scale mean every combination sounds good — pluck bass lines with your fingertips while the resonant wooden body projects a warm, round low end you can feel. A star of group music-making, music therapy and unplugged sessions, built with Schlagwerk's signature German craftsmanship.
