Carved Coconut Karimba

This coconut karimba is also known as an Mbira. A highly polished, half coconut shell is used to create a sound chamber that amplifies the 7 notes suspended above. This wonderfull instrument is carved with a gecko design.  It costs €18.90.  


Our range of instruments are produced in Indonesia by local artists, communities and craftsmen. Producers represent the five main religions and both male and female craftsmen are employed through the various stages of the production process. This helps to further maintain a social balance in these areas.
