8 Note Gourd Piano
Gently pluck the keys of this ancient African folk instrument and enjoy the sweet tone that only a Gourd Piano can make. Each gourd body is carefully selected and matched with our soundboards made from padouk or lacewood (we’ll select for you). Padouk is a deep red African hardwood with a full, rich tone. Lacewoodis a gold and brown wood which seems to shimmer in the light. Both are chosen for their striking beauty and sound quality.
All models have an attached strap strung with colorful bbeads used for wearing or displaying the gourd piano. The clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet features several songs that wil have anyone playing in minutes. Each key is precisely cut and nickel plated for years of comfortable carefree playing. All are accurately tuned to the key of “C”.
Also available is an expanded song book featuring an easy numbering system, with lyrics and chords, that will have anyone who can recognize their letters playing in minutes! Gives your child a sense of immediate accomplishment! This book contains many popular songs that can be used for both Board and Gourd Pianos.
