Anybody know of a source for buzz beads, similar to what Kalimba Magic used to sell? Not interested in chains.

Anybody know of a good alternative for a Hugh Tracey African model - a 17 key, 2 row solid body with buzzers available? Not anything from Kalimba Magic. Maybe the Hokema B15?

Anybody know if Kalimba Magic is still in business? I've tried to order from their Web site with no success, and no response to emails.

Absolute beginner, but I prefer to buy once/cry once... I want to learn/play African style patterns and rhythms, as opposed to traditional Western songs. This would be at home, unamplified. Currently thinking of a LingTing Kalimba 17 keys flatboard (LT-K17A). Based on something I saw in this group, I started looking at demo's of the HOKEMA Sansula Basic on Youtube and really like the sounds, but I wonder if having fewer keys might be an issue?
