What is a "thumb piano"?

A thumb piano, also known as a kalimba or mbira, is a small, hand-held instrument with metal keys or tines attached to a wooden or resonant body. The keys are played by plucking them with the thumbs or fingers. The instrument produces a bright, melodic sound that is often used in African music, as well as in various contemporary styles. The thumb piano's compact size and unique, soothing tones make it popular for both solo performance and accompaniment.
