Sansa-Rimbas

This outdoor musical instrument is a clever blend of two African instruments; the Sansa (thumb-piano) and a Marimba (xylophone). Using the diatonic 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 center outwards. 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 instrument is designed for ground or surface installation but can also be wall mounted. The Sansa-Rimba is easy to play and a perfect introduction to musical exploration and improvisation.
