Description

Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba with Internal Mic Pickup
15-Note Alto Kalimba with Internal Mic Pickup
Product Details:
The Hugh Tracey Kalimba is shaped like a small wooden box with a circular hole in the middle (most models). It has thin metal strips or tongues which are the notes (called tines), that are of varying lengths.
The tines are plucked downward with your thumbs using your thumbnails. The longer the length of the tine, the lower the pitch of the note. The longest tine, and therefore the lowest note is always in the middle.
Unlike other keyboard instruments with the lowest note on the far left, the Hugh Tracey Kalimba notes are tuned in an alternating left-right manner starting from the center note.
Features:
- Kiaat wood gives the Hugh Tracey Kalimba a rich, organic beauty
- Pre-tuned in the scale of G-Major and can be tuned to any scale simply by sliding some of the tines up or down
- It is a deep toned Kalimba and can be used to accompany piano, guitar, bass, singing or played as a solo instrument
- By waving your fingers in and out of The vibrato holes, The Hugh Tracey Kalimba makes a signature, syncopated "wa-wa" sound effect. Alternating between fingers creates harmonic and rhythmic effects
- Hand-Crafted in South Africa

Our family-run business of three generations has been successful for so many years due to our commitment of fulfilling our customers' ever-growing needs through innovation, lowest prices, and quality of service. 8th Street Music Center was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1940. Originally, the store was located at 8th and Market Streets (hence our name) until we moved to our previous location at 1023 Arch Street in the mid 1970's. Currently, we are now located right outside of Center City Philadelphia in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Over the years, we have provided the best brands of musical equipment to the industry's leading recording studios and artists who helped create and continue to create the music of our times.
We established our 8thstreet.com "Online Music Superstore" web site in 1996, which was the first of its kind. We were the first to take the risk out of doing business online. 8thstreet has been selling top brands of musical equipment online to our customers ever since, expanding our global customer base each year. We now have customers all over the world, but have never grown too big to listen to your feedback.
8th Street Music is dedicated to helping musicians offering the lowest prices, with outstanding and personalized service. Our retail store's slogan has always been, "Don't Get Beat, Call 8th Street!"
