Hugh Tracey Treble Kalimba
Seventeen tuned tines on a kiaat board
Hand percussion · South Africa
Tracey's kalimba takes the mbira of southern Africa and gives it a Western diatonic tuning and a solid resonating board, which made it playable by people outside the tradition and turned it into the instrument most of the world calls a kalimba.

The lower, fuller-toned kalimba
Hand percussion · South Africa
The alto sits an octave below the treble with fifteen tines, and is the one most often used for accompaniment rather than melody.
