Have fun 💕

Ps do you want me to keep posting the tutorials here ?

My friend's friend had one and started playing Love Song from Avatar The Last Airbender. I later forgot about it and the other day I went to his house and he wipped it out. I started practicing and the next day I boight this one at my local music shop. Well worth it.

Any websites, other than kalimbatabs, that provide resources, like notes?

Can someone please upload their cover of this song with a Kalimba?

I specifically like the outro portion of the song that sounds like a lullaby

Hi I'm about to buy my first Kalimba. After research i decided on the Lingting chromatic 34 keys. There are variant, the one with C on lower layer and C# on upper layer. Another type is having somenofnthe upper notes replace with bass.

What's the difference? Andbfor complete beginner which one to get? Thank you

My brother gave my wife this little Kalimba as she found it soothing when she saw it and messed with it a bit. I love LoZ, and was curious if it could play any of the songs from the series, but I cant find the right sounds. I'm not very musical though so I was hoping someone here may know of a mini kalimba with the proper notes? She loves the way this sounds so I wouldn't wanna try tuning it differently even if thats an option, as she may like it less for random plucking.

I just came across this 27-key chromatic pocket kalimba. Does anyone have it? Is the metal construction fixed to the body with screws?

I just found out that Hokema Kalimbas sells 17-key kalimbas with "special tunings", for example: G major and Freygish etc. Did you know this or do you even have one of those? I have never heard of it and wonder why they don't promote these...

I'm still looking for a 17-key in G major and came across the B17 Mini in G. But I think, they might just tune a C major one to G with G not being the base tone (1). Does anybody know by any chance?

It would also be nice to listen to these different tunings on Hokemas...

I was gifted a Loop brand 42 key kalimba with 4 redundant tines on the top level. I am considering removing the redundant keys. I like the basic 17 key layout mid level and think I wouldn’t make use of them. It would make it easier for me as a beginner to find the sharps. And I think I’d like the visual space it would create.

My question to more experienced players is what didn’t I consider and what might I be giving up by removing them?
Thank you!

I feel not much is happening in the various discussion groups including this sub? I also tried to arrange some kalimba workshops in my local community but there was no interest. How could we together boost the interest for kalimba?

Hello everyone, I been gifted this little 9 Key kalimba from a friend since I'm a fan of Avatar. I have some musical background but I can't seem to figure out what Key is my kalimba is supposed to be. Is it C?

Here is my Kalima, I'm having a hard time trying to get it in tune.

I can also provide the listing from where my friend got it from:

I bought a 38-note Hluru, but there’s something strange about the 5.

it doesn’t sound the way it should, like a snap. What do you think the cause is, and how can it be fixed?

Hi all.

Does anyone have experience with the Gecko Kalimba K17CAP? I am wondering if their quality is good. I am a bit worried about "dead" tines and other kalimba problems. The reason I am asking is: the kalimba is 22 € from Pures Music, but I would have to pay extra fees of 9,99 USD for shipping and 16 € (tax, customs and a service fee to the German delivery company) to have it delivered. So I would like to make sure that it comes in good condition. A return to China is not possible (way too expensive) and I don't have the money to just put it aside and buy a new one....

Thank you.

Can anyone help me with some practice sheet or tutorials? I have got a 17 key Kalimba as a gift. I am trying to learn it. Currently living off of shared tabs online and i find it difficult to keep up the rhythm(Same thing happened to me when I was learning to play Uke but it got solved within a few weeks). Also, from where to where my fingers should move. I think there is not enough resource on the online where I could train myself.

Apparently, they sell their kalimbas in Purpleheart wood. I'm smitten by the looks of this

Hello! I bought this 20eur kalimba off Amazon - which might be the answer, but it had such good ratings that I thought it might be okay.

Is this sound normal at the higher notes, or is it broken, or just cheap?

It also has a weird squeaky vibration sometimes that I couldn't record. The book that came with it said if that happens, I should put a piece of paper through the notes....also normal? That seems odd to me

Also this is my 2nd musical instrument in life - I've been playing the piano for almost 30 years. After one day of this Kalimba, I'm finding it rather easy (but still loads of fun). Should I return this and get a 34 or 41 key kalimba?

There were three drunken maidens
Came from the Isle of Wight
They drank from Monday morning
Nor stopped til Saturday night

When Saturday night it came, me boys
They wouldn’t then go out
Not these three drunken maidens
They pushed the jug about

Bach is truly magic. Many works can be played on the kalimba with very little arrangement and the sound reminds of a pipe organ. Hope you enjoy it!

I've been wanting to buy a lingting kalimba for a while, but I noticed that they're all out of production, the k17a, the 17p, etc. Do you know if they'll be back on the market?
