The Mbira is originally a folk instrument from Africa. Sometimes called
a Thumb Piano, Sanza, or Kalimba, they are generally home-made and consist
of several metal tines attached to a gourd or piece of wood, which are then
plucked with the thumbs. They are mostly small, with a handful of notes.
Array Instruments, a U.S. company started by Bill Wesley and Patrick Hadley,
have taken the concept of this ancient African idiophone to a whole new
level, not only in terms of instrument design but also in purity of sound,
and range of pitch. The Array Mbira is no toy, it.s a highly advanced
musical instrument built to exacting speci?cations.
