Meet the Bastl Kalimba: A Synth with a Twist

Unveiling the Bastl Kalimba

The Bastl Kalimba is not your average musical instrument; it’s a synthesizer disguised as a thumb piano. While its tines may not produce much sound on their own, the internal mic and advanced synth engine deliver a rich array of sounds, from plucks to pads.

This innovative instrument offers:

• Touch and velocity-sensitive triggers
• Built-in effects like delay, reverb, and distortion
• A multi-mode filter and simple arpeggiator
• Unique looper features with time-stretching and reverse capabilities
• Programmable touch points for pitch bends and reverb adjustments

Bastl Instruments, known for its quirky music gear, has spent over three years developing the Kalimba. With a successful Kickstarter campaign already raising over $700,000, this instrument promises to be a game-changer in the world of music synthesis.
