Kalimba (Thumb Piano) Tines

Kalimba (Thumb Piano) Tines
From Wiki:

Various kinds of thumb pianos have existed in Africa for thousands of years. The tines were originally made of bamboo but over the years metal keys have been developed. The instrument is known by different names in different regions of Africa, including mbira, mbila, mbira huru, mbira njari, hurdy gurdy, mbira nyunga, marimba, karimba, kalimba, likembe, and okeme, as well as marímbula (also called kalimba) in the Caribbean Islands.

Best of the bunch IMO. Those 'keys' do look like they would be hard on the fingers.
