American Walnut Wood Kaval – Mid

🎓 Learning the kaval? Add the Beginner Course with any kaval and get 20% off it.

A mid-level kaval turned from American walnut, a warm-toned wood that offers excellent value.

Walnut gives a warm, pleasant sound and a smooth finish - a great step up for players who want a real wooden instrument without a professional-tier price.

Good to know: American black walnut is one of the most prized furniture and cabinet woods in North America, valued for its stability and warm colour.

What you get

• A mid-level wooden kaval in American walnut, available in D, C and Bb.
• Leather case included.
• I personally play, tune and approve every one before it ships.

Choosing your key

• D - the easiest to start on, the most common key, and the one all my lessons and materials are built around. My recommendation for beginners.
• C - slightly lower, and it blends beautifully with the human voice; traditionally the key used to accompany folk singers.
• Bb - deep and rich, but a little harder to play: it is longer, so the finger holes are spaced wider apart.

My promise

• Turned by hand on the lathe by master kaval maker Biser Vasilev in Zlatograd, Bulgaria.
• 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
• 30-day money-back guarantee.
• Ships worldwide from Bulgaria with tracking. In-stock instruments ship within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order keys take about 2 to 3 weeks to craft.
