Monday, August 12, 2024 12 p.m. Patrick Hadley plays, creates, and manufactures an African thumb piano called a “mbira” or “kalimba.” The Array mbira is a highly modernized version of an ancient African instrument. In Zimbabwe they are known as mbiras, however, these types of plucked metal tine instruments are known by many names, such as likembe, sanza, kalimba, and, simply, thumb pianos. Patrick and his business partner, the inventor of the array mbira, Bill Wesley, have been building these instruments for over 30 years. They are fully chromatic and play in every key, up to six octaves. Many professional musicians are using these instruments and they can be heard in several major motion picture soundtracks as well as songs by Taylor Swift and many others including Sting, Imogen Heap, RyCooder, Pharaoh Sanders, and others. Patrick's music has been heard on NPR, and one of his videos reached a staggering 22 million views!
