The sansula - a patented invention from Hokema - is a new development of the kalimba (also known as sansa or mbira), which originated in southern Africa. Kalimbas are reed instruments that are plucked with the thumbs or fingers. In Africa, they are found in countless shapes and designs, in which the vibration of the tongue is amplified in various ways (e.g. on a resonance box, a hollow body such as a calabash gourd or simply a piece of solid wood). With the sansula, the vibration of the tongue is first 'stored' in a block of wood, which then transmits it to a sound membrane. In this way, the sound can be heard for much longer than with other methods of sound amplification. Supported by the tuning - octaves are close together - a wonderful, mellow sound rich in overtones is produced, which is easy to elicit from the instrument.
