This is a catamaran style electric bass kalimba with ten keys. It spans 2 octaves in a modified pentatonic setup. It has large clear plastic overtone dampers which allow the bass tones to predominate and cuts down on unwanted sustain.

In the side view photo, you can see that it also has the inset angle bridge feature. The top is cherry wood and the back is quarter-sawn fir. Acoustically this eKalimba is just about inaudible but plugged into a good system it hears the keys evenly and it is PHAT!
