Diatonic Guinea balafon 22 keys

The tuning of these 22 keys balafons is based on the C major diatonic scale (first note in G).

Our 22 keys diatonic balafons are best for balafolas (balafon players) who appreciate the acoustic performance of a high-quality perfectly tuned instrument.

Our collection of balafon xylophones come from Burkina Faso, Mail and Guinea. They are created by craftsmen whose traditional skills have been passed down for generations from father to son.

The keys of these balafons are cut from wood from trees which have been dead for years, of which only the duramen (“heart wood”) remains. They are then treated by fire to remove all liquid or bacteriological substances, giving them sustained. warm sounds.

Demonstration

We advise you to use headphones for a better appreciation of the sound qualities of the instrument. Additional videos sent on request via the WhatsApp application.
