The Hugh Tracey Kalimba started the Kalimba Craze of the 1960s. Maurce White of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Taj Majal played Hugh Tracey Kalimbas in the 1970s. And the same great The Alto Kalimba, with its two octave range in the G major scale makes this kalimba easy to understand. The relatively wide spacing between the tines makes this kalimba easy to play, especially if you have large hands. When people first bring this instrument home, they literally play it for hours. Very simple to play but difficult to master, these kalimbas sound and feel wonderful. Modern-sounding special effects can be created without electronics when you cover and uncover the sound holes, but THIS ONE COMES WITH AN ELECTRONIC PICKUP! Just plug it into an effects processor or a guitar amplifier, and get ready to take off into an unexplored land. Single note melodies, two melodies in counterpoint, chords, and more complex arrangements can be created on this simple box. And there is a growing body of instructional material available for the whole family of Hugh Tracey Kalimbas. ## Features - This comes with a pickup – plug it into an amp or an effects processor and blow your mind! - With exactly 2 octaves of the G major scale (ie, the root note G is also the lowest note), it is easy to undestand this instrument. - This kalimba is made from the beautiful and highly varied African hardwood kiaat, and holding this kalimba from Africa connects the player to Africa - The ALTO is preferred by people with large hands. Often people with smaller hands prefer the Treble Kalimba. - There are about 10 different music books available for this kalimba – more than any other kalimba. ## Images ![Kiaat Wood Box-Mounted 15 Note Acoustic Electric Kalimba - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qpyWs70sL.jpg) ![Kiaat Wood Box-Mounted 15 Note Acoustic Electric Kalimba - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xRTC94vOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, great sound, great feeling... *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2013* The moment this kalimba arrived at my door I knew I had made a purchase I would not regret. A month or so later that has held true. I love the sound, the way it feels in my hand... it arrived very quickly, packaged well, and is of great quality. My friends are always impressed by the ability to plug my kalimba into an amp - a very useful tool for a recording artist like myself. I'd say go for it if you're considering an alto kalimba! You'll be glad you went with Hugh Tracey. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Not as shown in the picture. The wood is ... *by .***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2015* Not as shown in the picture. The wood is darker... Or World Music Instruments lied to me and told me I received the correct one. Either way, 2 stars ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This particular alto kalimba is about as good as it gets *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015* Hugh Tracey kalimbas are very well made. This particular alto kalimba is about as good as it gets. The box is fairly large in comparison to the treble kalimba, it resonates very well. The steel tines on the alto kalimbas are also significantly bigger, which seems like a good thing to me. The size and spacing of the tines on this kalimba make it easy to play even relative to other thumb pianos.The internal mic works adequately. It sounds fantastic amplified, except for a couple of the highest notes which don't get picked up. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/8301975-kiaat-wood-box-mounted-15-note-acoustic-electric-kalimba](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/8301975-kiaat-wood-box-mounted-15-note-acoustic-electric-kalimba) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
