Journeys in Sound
Wherever Sophie goes, whether a bustling city square in Lisbon, a quiet village in Morocco, or a lakeside park in Canada, she takes a moment to play.
Each place leaves an impression on her, and she translates it into sound, shaping notes into her own reflection of the city’s spirit. Sometimes the rhythm of passing footsteps or the hum of traffic slips into her melodies, becoming part of her story. On other days, a local guitarist or street drummer joins her, and together they weave spontaneous songs that bridge cultures without words.

Speaking to the deep inner part
Traditional African Kalimba Music is one of the best music. It has pure logic, with a spiritual core. This music is magical, speaking to anyone's deep inner part.
Kalimba thumb piano is one of the most natural instruments. Even though its structure is many centuries old, it sounds fresh and modern.
Play the Kalimba with families and friends
Playing the kalimba is like taking a deep breath and diving to the bottom of a clear and peaceful pool. The diversions and annoyances of the world evaporate.
We like to share this musical journey with another special person. We may want to share the kalimba playing with our lover. A high school student wants to play with her best friend. A grandmother wants to play with her grandchild, or a father wants to play with his child.
Kalimba for elders and kids
The Kalimba is small and easy to hold but has a surprisingly large voice. It's a perfect instrument for elders to keep the brain active, challenging the mind and honing hand-ear-eye coordination.
Kids about 4 5 6 7 8 9 10+ year old and up enjoy kalimba. The 17 keys were polished smooth to protect the young children's soft nails. Bringing one home will be fun, educational and, well, a fascinating conversation piece.
How to tune the kalimba
To keep your kalimba sounding good, learning to tune is the most important thing.
1. Download the tune APP.
IOS: Instuner
Android: gStrings
2. Tune with the hammer.
Making tines longer (from the point where they are held down on the bridge) will lower their pitch, and making them shorter will make their pitch higher.
