Since its launching in 2001, the Sansula has quickly become a bestseller and found thousands of friends at home and abroad. The special feature of the Sansula is its unbelievable sound. Whereby the clear and aesthetic design is most appealing. The oval frame of laminated beechwood is fitted with a membrane which, together with the resonating block, produces a prolonged, soft tone. Furthermore, an impressive 'wah-wah' effect can be produced by holding the instrument against the body, on the thigh or laying it on a table and then alternately raising and lowering it while playing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tuning A minor with additional tines pitched at B and F., a´, c´´, c´, a´, a, f´, e´, e´´, b´ \u003cbr\u003eallows even the beginner to create melodies as there is no wrong note, all notes work together harmonically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8 x 6,1 x 2,6 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh quality wood\u003c\/strong\u003e : Cherrywood for the Kalimba block and beech wood for the frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch Videos and Listen to the different tunings and use our Tuning Tool \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have compiled a couple of videos showing you different tuning flavors and how to tune steps, for your B9 or Sansulas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tuning tool has an indention on the top so you can securely place it at the end of the tine.
