Hugh Tracey Celeste Treble + PU

Description

That delicate music box can get loud when you plug it in.

This instrument is played just like the 17-note treble Kalimba, but it lacks the resonant box. Consequently, it sounds even more like an antique music box than does the treble kalimba. The small sound board is well-suited for small hands or children. The small board also permits using the right index finger up-stroke method typically used in mbira playing. A nice trick to increase the volume is to hold it against a window or a table as a sounding board.

With the electric pickup added, you can plug in to an amplifier and be as loud as any guitar or drum.

We don’t have sound clips of the Celeste Treble + PU, please listen to these sound clips of the acoustic Celeste Treble:
