Balafon pentatonic 12 tones PRO

These 12-note pentatonic balafons tuned in F major are intended for balafonists who appreciate the tonal performance of a high-quality, perfectly tuned instrument.

The balafon comes from Burkina Faso. They are designed by craftsmen who have passed on the know-how of their ancestors from father to son. The tonewood of these balafons is carved from the wood of trees that have died of old age for several years, of which only the heartwood ("heartwood") remains. They are then burned to remove any liquid or bacteriological substances, which gives them beautiful and lasting sounds.

The bars are attached with nylon string, so no animal skins at all.
