Flat Board Kalimbas in India - Dive Deep with the Hluru Ocean Resin Kalimba

Previously, we saw a number of pretty hollow kalimbas that are easily available to order online in India. This week we look at some of the best flat board kalimba styles in India that are too gorgeous to ignore and eager to be loved.

What's so special about a flat board kalimba? The main difference between this design and a hollow one is the absence of the internal chamber that creates that deep sound that so many have fallen in love with. The flat board kalimba, on the other hand, doesn’t have any chamber or sound outlet so volume is reduced. The upside is that this flat shape creates a beautiful balanced resonance that is clear and crisp and very relaxing to for player or listener.

It is absolutely thrilling to see this Hluru kalimba in India. This is what happens when you marry wood and acrylic kalimbas-- one very esthetically pleasing piece of art! A carefully polished beech wood kalimba has smooth curved edges for that feeling of ease and comfort in your hands.
