Glass Imbarimba - a unique musical design combining elements of two classic African instruments: the marimba (a resonated xylophone) and the kalimba (thumb piano). The bars are arranged in the layout of the kalimba with long bars in the middle and short bars on the ends. This allows both the left and right hands equal access to the upper and lower notes.
The instrument includes a sturdy stand on which it is mounted. The keys are made of fiberglass which are entirely weather proof and able to withstand hard use. The Glass Imbarimba is in a diatonic scale, pitched one octave above the Amadinda.
