Easy thing to play on Mbira - Part 1

[@Ebk_EveryBobyKilla]

Can I order one as well I live in Houston Texas

[@RhythmInAfrica]

I'm afraid I'm not sure how to send it there and DHL is usually too expensive. Let me try to find Mbira builders near you.

[@gateslayerfpv1744]

Do you ship to the US? I've found an electric mbira online via etsy, but it is a 37 key njira. I'd prefer a dzavadzimu with 22-24 keys.

[@RhythmInAfrica]

I don't ship to the US ye, sorry.

@@RhythmInAfrica That’s too bad, it has such a beautiful sound.

Wow ive been in Zimbabwe learning Mbira but Never heard This before! Any extended versions?

[@RhythmInAfrica]

Yes there are infinite ways to extend this. I don't have it here yet coz I don't have enough time to shoot videos of them, I only send those in my private lessons.

Hi. Good tunes. Any way you could give me written notes please. I am a slow learner so I could benefit from written notes. Thanks

[@RhythmInAfrica]

You can read music?

[@cathytai]

I just got a 35 key mbira as my first mbira, do you by chance also teach how to be sure your mbira is in tune after being shipped halfway around the world? Then can I get lessons from you on this challenging first mbira experience? Photo of mbira (tuned to F) upon request if it helps.Thank you!

[@RhythmInAfrica]

35 Keys are a lot and that's unusual. I've never seen or tried one.

[@cathytai]

It is called a Munhurikwa, it is in F. There are two rows of right hand keys and it is low in sound. I did not know what I was ordering, from Zimbabwe, haha, but it is very beautiful, I am just facing a challenge right now because I am not able to follow along with your videos without understanding how to transpose. The lower set on the right hand side includes very skinny tines. It appears the upper right hand row is the one for playing the melody and the lower for embellishments? If possible may I pm you my contact information? Perhaps I can pay you then to consult or to record a KZbin tutorial on an introduction to this kind of Mbira? Thank you!
