## Long description

Zenwire K-01 is a 17-key African-style kalimba (mbira/piano) with metal tines mounted on a compact wooden body in a brown finish.

How to use
Hold the kalimba with both hands, supporting the body in the palms while leaving the thumbs free to pluck the metal tines. Pluck the tines with the thumb pads to produce clear, sustained notes; adjust attack and thumb position to vary tone and dynamics. For tuning adjustments or maintenance, check tine alignment and tightness and use a suitable tuning hammer to alter tine length and pitch as required. Regularly clean the wooden body and metal keys with a dry, soft cloth to preserve appearance and sound quality.
Usage recommendations
Use the Zenwire K-01 in quiet or acoustically treated spaces for recording to capture the instrument's natural resonance. For performances, consider a contact pickup or close-miking technique to amplify the kalimba without losing tonal detail. Store the instrument in a stable, dry environment to avoid wood warping and to maintain tuning stability.
