This 12-note version offers an accessible entry into that tradition while using the same tonewoods and construction methods that have defined the instrument for generations.

Twelve metal keys, graduated in length from approximately 13.25 inches down to 9.5 inches, are suspended above the frame using natural cord lashing in the traditional West African style. Below each key sits a rounded natural gourd resonator. Each gourd features a small hole fitted with a thin membrane that vibrates sympathetically as the key is struck, producing the characteristic buzzing overtone that defines the balafon sound.

The 12-note range covers a pentatonic-style layout suited to traditional Mande melodic patterns.
