| <h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
| | The [[African|african]]-origin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalimba kalimba/mbira] is another instrument that is small and cheap and easy to retune, and hence another good candidate as a gateway to microtonal music. Retuning is apparently common practice among the traditional Mbira masters in Africa - see e.g. [http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/MakeMicroMusic/message/11005 this article] by Joe Monzo on the MakeMicroMusic yahoo forum. |
