Sound Healing Instruments for sale
I personally prefer instruments that are highly resonant and simple to play, so that they keep me in a state of meditation as I play them and it is also easier for the attendees to feel the vibration in their bodies and energy field.
I work and collaborate with We Play Well Together – a wonderful small business founded by Gabriele Schwibach. She is the the official distributor of Hokema and feeltone instruments in the US and has had personal relationship with the makers for decades. What I like most about their instruments is that they are easy to play and – according to the name – they play well together! The instruments are grouped based on elements (from Koshi chimes) and tunings. Click the name or the picture to see more details and pricing.

Gently used instruments from my private collection (sold through WePlayWellTogether)
Over the past 15 + years, I have collected many many instruments. I am a strong believer that instruments need to be tended and used. If that is no longer the case, it is time to let them go. I’m hoping these will find a loving home. Please click the pictures to find out more information, sound clips, pricing and ordering link. These are all packed and ready to be shipped (shipping included). If you have any questions, please email me at minna@harmoniaalto.com.

This instrument is very pleasing for the player as you enter your hands inside the gourd and play with your thumbs. You can actually feel the gourd vibrating as well as your legs if you are sitting and having the kalimba on your lap.
The artist and musician who built this instrument decorated the gourd with burn marks, carvings, and pictures. He also added a leather string to the gourd.
Purchased directly from the maker, who lives in Berkeley, CA, and specializes in building kalimbas.
