Sansula

HOKEMA was founded in 1985 when Peter Hokema became fascinated with the African kalimba. In 2001 Peter invented the Sansula. An oval wooden frame covered with a drum skin, in the middle of which a small kalimba is hung freely swinging. The company is now second generation and is one of the leading manufacturers of these beautiful instruments making them with high quality German craftsmanship.

Sansulas offer warm, soft and gently relaxing tones that are as harmonious on their own as they are in combination with other instruments. No musical experience is required, in fact they say if you can text on your phone you can play!

The HOKEMA Sansula Basic is an advanced form of the kalimba and is handmade in Germany from European beech. Tropical wood is not used and the surfaces are treated with vegetable linen oil.

We offer four tunings of the basic sansula: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Their tunings are as follows:

Fire / Ignis 432 Hz G B B G G E D D A
