A tall hardwood neck rises through the center of the gourd body, flanked by two turned hardwood hand posts that serve as anchor points for the player's grip. The 21 strings are secured to a wooden bridge fitted at the face of the gourd and run to individual machine tuners along both sides of the neck, allowing for precise and stable tuning without the slippage common to traditional rawhide collar tuning. A built-in electronic pickup with a two-band equalizer and both XLR and 1\/4-inch output jacks makes this instrument fully stage-ready.

This arrangement allows the player to voice melody and accompaniment simultaneously, with one hand on each side of the string column. The calfskin head responds with a naturally bright and warm resonance, producing the shimmering, harp-like cascades that define the kora's voice in Mande musical traditions. The machine tuners significantly reduce setup time and help the instrument hold pitch reliably across performances. The pickup system captures the instrument's acoustic character faithfully, making amplification straightforward for any venue size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kora is one of the most iconic instruments of West Africa, played for centuries by the Jali (griot) musicians of the Mande-speaking peoples across Mali, Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea. It occupies a singular role as both a melodic and rhythmic instrument, used to accompany historical narratives, praise songs, and ceremonial music. With approximately 21 strings and its characteristic split-hand playing technique, the kora requires a unique approach that rewards dedicated study. This deluxe version with machine tuners and integrated electronics brings the instrument's capabilities into contemporary performance contexts while remaining true to its traditional construction. Approximate overall length is 44 inches, body width 16 inches, and body depth 8.5 inches rising to approximately 13.25 inches with the bridge assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe calfskin head is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Avoid storing or playing the instrument in environments with extreme dryness or moisture, and allow the instrument to acclimate gradually when moving between climates. Wipe down the strings after playing to extend their life. The machine tuners require no special maintenance beyond occasional light lubrication if they become stiff. Store the instrument in the included gig bag when not in use to protect the head, strings, and electronic components from dust and accidental impact. If the pickup or equalizer requires service, consult a luthier or instrument technician familiar with piezo or contact pickup systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDemo of similar kora (different design on gourd)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"315\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jVYUhXLEsNA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark in the Morning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899530592430,"sku":"HAR421","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1814\/0429\/files\/IMG_3070.jpg?v=1779576287"},{"product_id":"balafon-12-note-from-mali","title":"Balafon, 12-note, from Mali","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe were immediately drawn to the warm, honeyed color of these goni wood keys and the handsome simplicity of the cord-lashed frame — this is an instrument that looks as good as it sounds. Playing it for the first time, the resonance that comes up through the mallets is surprising for something so compact, and the gourd chambers underneath add a woody depth that synthetic instruments just cannot replicate.

Each bar is hand-shaped and suspended above a sturdy wooden frame using traditional natural cord lashing, allowing the keys to vibrate freely with minimal dampening. Beneath each key, a dried gourd resonator amplifies and colors the tone, a hallmark of authentic balafon construction.

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. Each instrument is individually handcrafted, so minor variation in color and finishing is a natural part of authentic production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore the balafon away from extreme humidity and direct heat sources, which can cause the goni wood keys to warp or crack over time.
