Mbira/Kalimba Instrument Prop

Mbira/Kalimba Instrument Prop is a prop created by richardandtracy.

This little freebie is a prop of an Mbira (or Array Mbira - when made by a particular manufacturer). The Mbira, in essence, is a resonance chamber of which a number of metal tongues vibrate. The simplest version is the Jews/Jaws harp where the resonance chamber is the mouth. In this little model the resonance chamber is a wooden box and there are a seventeen brass tongues of different length that can be flicked with the thumbs.

This freebie offers 1) A prop for the instrument on its own and 2) A wearable preset to be applied to G8F which poses G8F's arms, hands, neck & head and applies the prop too. The Mbira is parented to a null node attached to the character's right hand in an effort to prevent poses from distorting the instrument. There are no morphs - it's a very simple static model.
