Originating in Africa, the ThumbDrum has made its way throughout the world. Also known also as a sansa, kalimba, and thumbpiano. It is played by plucking the tines, or keys with the thumb. They are perfect for play and musical experimentation. Sturdy enough for children, they are a wonderful way to keep hands busy and ears attuned to the gentle sounds coming from the ThumbDrum.
