Features
- HAND-CRAFTED IN MALI - This West African Bala (also known as a ball or balaphone) is hand-crafted in Africa by village cultural artisans supported by the non-profit Africa Heartwood Project. It is built and tuned to serve as a legitimate high-end, professional instrument.
- PROFESSIONAL SOUND WITH HEPTONIC TUNING Featuring 20-22 hand-tuned Khadi wood keys, this African xylophone is tuned in C, with a major diatonic tonality. The accurate tuning of the Khadi blades is impressive, and the sound created with the buzzing gourds is enchanting and very loud. Khadi wood keys, hand-tuned, smoked to dry and seal, prevents pitch warping.
- DURABLE FRAME AND PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION Constructed with a strong bamboo, hardwood, and sinew frame, this marimba instrument is designed for durability and transportability. Dimensions: 46" L x 19" W x 8" H, making it sturdy for performance yet portable for use on the go.
- PAIR OF NATURAL GUM RUBBER MALLETS INCLUDED The bala includes a pair of natural gum rubber mallets to bring out the instrument's full tonal potential. Each instrument is cleaned, inspected, tuned, and played individually before shipment to ensure optimal sound quality.
