African rosewood, also known as red rosewood, is a highly prized hardwood. It is extremely hard, dense, and has a fine, even grain with a distinctive rose-colored hue. These characteristics make African rosewood exceptionally suitable for crafting high-end musical instruments.
Kalimbas made from African rosewood produce warm, rich, and layered tones. The low end is full and powerful, while the high end is clear and bright, resulting in a well-balanced overall sound. Additionally, the beautiful grain patterns of African rosewood add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the kalimba.
Due to its rarity, African rosewood is relatively expensive.
