Kalimba is an instrument that originated from Zeruru tribes of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, which located in southern part of Africa. The history of Kalimba has begun from approximately 1000years ago to use mainly in religious purpose. Since it is a traditional instrument, it does not have anything about standard, such as turning size, volume, range, color, how to play, materials to make it and even name. Kalimba became an ancestor of western percussion instrument such as marimba or xylophone. At 1920's Dr.Hugh modified it to fit for the western music scale.
