MUSI3041 Assignment4: Musical Instrument  Jingwen Liang  The instrument I choose for assignment 4 is the Thumb Piano. Thumb Piano is an African ethnic instrument. In different African countries, the Thumb Piano has different names, for example, Kalimba is the name of the instrument in Kenya, while in Zimbabwe it is called Mbira, the Congolese call it Likembe, and it is also known by the name Sanza and Thumb Piano.
