A mother and her child discover a HOKEMA Sansula together.

Kalimba and sansula – handcrafted in Germany

Find the kalimba that suits you: for your first notes, your own melodies or a musical break. Explore our handcrafted kalimbas and sansulas and order directly from HOKEMA.

Kalimbas from our workshop in Walsrode

Since 1985, HOKEMA has developed and made kalimbas in Walsrode, Germany. Our family business combines careful handcrafting with a love of sound. Our kalimbas are made from solid cherry wood and precisely tuned.

The sansula also originated here: Peter Hokema developed it in 2001. Today, you can choose from different models for your first notes, improvisation and melodies.

The Kalimba in Lessons at the Primary School in Bad Fallingbostel

A report on music lessons with Kathrin Bleschke

At the primary school in Bad Fallingbostel, we encounter many children—naturally, as it is a school. Yet the children who attend here could hardly be more different. They come from a wide range of countries, cultures, and social backgrounds. This naturally brings certain challenges, especially when language barriers and neurodivergence intersect, or when some children—who in part already have complex life histories—simply have no energy or concentration left after several hours of lessons.
