The Bastl Kalimba merges the worlds of synthesizers and traditional thumb pianos. While it is played similarly to a kalimba, its sound production relies on an internal microphone rather than the tines themselves.

This innovative instrument has captured the attention of backers, raising significant funds on Kickstarter, exceeding $700,000.

As the project continues to gain traction, it highlights the growing interest in unique musical instruments that blend technology with traditional play styles.
