Description
The Sansula - a patented invention from HOKEMA - is a new development of the Kalimba (also called Sansa or Mbira), which has its origins in southern Africa. Kalimbas are reed instruments that are plucked with the thumbs or fingers. In Africa, they can be found in countless shapes and designs in which the vibration of the tongue is amplified in various ways (e.g. on a resonance box, a hollow body such as a calabash pumpkin or simply a piece of solid wood). In the case of the Sansula, the vibration of the tongue is first 'stored' in a block of wood, which then transmits it to a sound membrane. In this way, the sound is audible for much longer than with other methods of sound amplification. Supported by the tuning – octaves are next to each other – a wonderful, soft, overtone-rich sound is created, which can be elicited from the instrument with ease.
