Product overview
- Sansa – regional term for the African mbira or thumb piano
- Rimba – from Marimba; xylophone of African origin
- The Sansa-Rimba is a bright, stimulating and colourful teaching and music resource and would be a great addition as school playground equipment
- This outdoor musical instrument is a clever blend of two African instruments; the Sansa (thumb-piano) and a Marimba (xylophone)
- Using the pentatonic scale and spanning two octaves (C4-C6), the 15 notes of the Sansa-Rimba are arranged as a traditional thumb-piano with the scale ascending from the centre outwards
- The Sansa-Rimba can be built with individual notes of Aluminium, Ipe (hardwood) or GRP (type of fibreglass). Each of these materials gives a distinct sound when played.
- There are no wires or strings as the notes are individually and securely attached to the resonators for maximum vibration with incredible tones and resonance
- The resonators are available in a number of different colours
- The instrument can be installed into the ground, surface mounted or fixed to the wall
- The Sansa-Rimba is easy to play and a perfect introduction to musical exploration and improvisation
- 75cm length
- A pair of beaters is included, tethered with a nylon coated steel cable which can be fixed next to the chimes. If you prefer loose beaters, let us know
