[@erickjmedina]

Hahaha interesting question! 😄

[@reynaamihan954]

[@Jaichbinhier]

You answered my questions, Erick, and many other ones too! I greatly enjoyed this combination Q&A and kalimba review. 😁

[@erickjmedina]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💛😊 yes, I answered almost all questions. It’s fun making this video 😃

[@JasonYapri]

I'll be waiting for the pickup mic review 👍 really curious how it'll sound

[@erickjmedina]

Oh, you mean the one in the question, right? Sure, I’ll do that soon 💛😊

[@JasonYapri]

@@erickjmedina yup 👍 looking forward to it

[@marvininvestsinstockmarket2826]

Mabalasik na Q and A ito. 💪💪 More power to your channel, Mr. E!

[@erickjmedina]

Thanks Mr. Mrvs haha naenjoy ko pag gawa nito

[@calmkalimba9584]

Thank You for answering about recording kalimba! It made me want to buy Lingting flatboard even more because it has pick up included 😂 Anyways, it’s my plan for later, now I’m cherishing my 2 kalimbas and improve my playing 😁👍 Greetings

[@erickjmedina]

This kalimba is amazing! 💛😊 haha the pick up is my only concern, I want it built in 😊

[@calmkalimba9584]

erick j medina That would be cool 😀

[@gcacmdgcac9670]

The LingTing Flat Board sound wonderful, it is a little bit smaller than Gecko yet right size for a woman's hand but heavy because it is a solid wood. If the tabs engraved the numbers on it, it will be perfect!

[@jastine935]

Yessss proud Filipino 😁🇵🇭 naenjoy ko 'to Sir Erick salamat po! Ingat and God bless po.

[@erickjmedina]

Salamat Jastine! God bless din 💛😊

[@sunsetdramamusic]

Thank youu bro. 😊🙌 For supporting my Channel. 🙌

[@erickjmedina]

Sure bro 💛😊

[@suzannemunro3877]

I saw (and found really useful) your review of Gecko and Lingting Kalimbas... but have found one (on Facebook !) i also love the sound of. I have FINALLY tracked it down to be a Walter t WK17P DO you have any thoughts compare to the Lingting (the sound I love also.) The Walter, sounded even more mellow on the video on Facebook, but maybe they had some added reverb or good acoustic ?

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! I would like to try Walter brand. I think you’re right, it’s an interesting brand 💛

[@sheyshey]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Amazing video 👌👌👌 Ling Ting Ting Ting. More Q&A po 😊

[@erickjmedina]

Thanks po! Sure, mag gawa pko Q and A soon 💛😊

[@sarewer2]

I think Moozica Kalimba (K21KSEQ) is the best right now. I recommend you to try it.

[@KalimbaVerse]

Does K17a's African Padauk wood make a difference compared to K17p's Hedgehog Rosewood if we tune both to key of B? I recently bought LT - K17a

[@erickjmedina]

I wonder about the difference too. I havent tried K17a though. There must be a distinction between the two, but I dont know yet because I only own the latter.

[@KalimbaVerse]

@@erickjmedina big fan! you've inspired me to pickup & play the Kalimba :) Waiting in next 24-48 days for package to reach Australia, excited as I just bought the LT K17a, stay tuned!

[@ma.kristinetaguba9292]

same tayo nang favorite kalimba. 😍 sobrang lambing kase nang tunog.🥰 db po mejo mahina ang lingting? ano po set up mo para lumakas kapag nag record na? may mic ka po na gamit?😇

[@erickjmedina]

Yes po mahina Lingting kaya need tlaga may mic. Gumagamit ako ng condenser microphone sa recording 💛😊

[@humptyhush3368]

Hi sir Erick, dati niyo po akong student. More subscribers to comeee! Congrats po sir✊💖

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! Salamat 😊💛 hmm, sang school?

[@humptyhush3368]

St. Michael po Sir.

[@hannyching7066]

I have Lingting kalimba and it’s really good. I also have this Kalimba Yael y17 and I found it the best compared to rest of my kalimbas (for me). It has fine and thinner tines and you can effortlessly tap each tines. Hindi sya matigas at malakas po ang tunog. Try nyo po e review.

[@erickjmedina]

Wow. 💛😊 Thanks po sa pag suggest. I’ll check that out.. I havent heard of Yael kalimba. 😀

[@hannyching7066]

I never heard about it too. I randomly ordered it on Amazon with 5 ⭐️ reviews and that’s what I’ve got. I was expecting for something else though but I indeed up liking it. My friend got the same kalimba and she likes it too.

[@erickjmedina]

Now I’m really curious 😃

[@zoequeen920]

Where did you buy po, they include colorful stickers and freebies 😍

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! I bought it in Thailand. :D in a local store here 💛

[@reoldeidre5462]

Hello! I might be late but I want to ask a question. Is it possible to change the tone of a kalimba? Like for example changing it to C tone to B tone

[@erickjmedina]

Yes it is.. You will go half step lower from C. 💛

[@KeepingTraces]

Hahahahaha!! Na enjoy ko ito, naaliw ako sobra 🤣🤣🤣 And educational, too! 🥰 At ang ganda ng Lingting! San best makakabili nyan po?

[@erickjmedina]

Haha salamat 😂💛 Dito po ko Thailand meron sila sa mga online store here, pag sa pinas, mangaling pa China 😀

[@KeepingTraces]

Dami ko tawa 😂 Panalo ang reaction sa When is your wedding 🤣 parang gustong kumitil ng buhay 😆😆 Try ko tumingin ng Lingting, sana legit kahit online hehe Parang may break-in din pala kapag new kalimba, yung sakin kc habang tumatagal mas madali na sha gamitin. Nung una kc parang ang tigas i-pluck.

[@erickjmedina]

Hahaha may mga tanong na ndi mdali sagutin lalo na ngaung Covid hayyyz haha

[@KeepingTraces]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

So you mean to tell me that I can, as a complete beginner, play songs made for a kalimba tuned to C on a kalimba tuned to B just by reading the numbers?! I’m so sad because I really wanted a Lingting tuned to B but ordered a C because I was afraid I wouldn’t figure it out. 😞

[@erickjmedina]

Exactly yes. The point is the scale when read in numbers 1 to 7 will always be the same in any key center. For an instance, C is 1 and B is 1. C higher is also 1’ (with that little dot on top) and B higher is also 1’ (with that little dot on top)

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

@@erickjmedina Thank you, I ordered the LingTing in B as well, now I’ll have both, lol

[@ceceliaau3469]

I am newbie, may I know what is a pickup as you mentioned in your video.

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! Pick up is the microphone of an instrument. It’s where you can plug in a jack which will go to either interface or amplifier. 😊💛

[@carriekay5987]

Yes, I know a better Kalimba. The APRIL YANG. I was in love with the LingTing UNTIL I heard the April Yang. It is superb sounding. AND it has the noted tabs on the tines.

[@leiraise2958]

Is it a bad idea to choose K17P as a first kalimba? As it's in B, will it be harder to learn how to play?

[@erickjmedina]

No, it’s not a bad idea. It’s not harder to learn too. It’s the same, just assume that the major scale is (just like most of the kalimbas) is taken half step lower in terms of scale, I made a video about scale, I’ll try to find it and paste it here (if you dont know that yet)

Mga around 800 to 1500 po yung kalimba, ayos po yang gnyang price range, pero basta 1000 pataas mganda na din sya

What kind of ukulele do you use? Is it a Gecko?

Hi! Gecko K17KEQ💛😊

[@erickjmedina]

Oh no, are you asking about ukulele or kalimba?

[@lilokitt7356]

Can you test die Ling Ting K17GEQ? this have also a pickup. I think that would be what you would like :)

[@erickjmedina]

Oh, I want to! I'll try to find it online💛

[@katrinableza]

Have you tried Hluro 17key rosewood?

[@erickjmedina]

not yet, but i would like to try it, a lot of people mentioned Hluru already to me :D

Nakakaaliw po kayo panoorin😆

[@erickjmedina]

Salamat po.. Naaliw din ako sa sarili ko ahahha

[@drmkpr88]

Kuya the hollow kalimbas of LT have EQ versions. Pero tama ka, sana they installed the pick-up sa flatboards din.

[@erickjmedina]

Yes true 😊 cguro it will cost them some amount kung bubutasan pa yung flaboard at lagyan pick up haha

[@drmkpr88]

@@erickjmedina yes, but like the hollow kalimbas na may EQ versions, sana may ganong options din ang flatboards. So bale 8 LT models na in total. Yung 2 flatboards kasi ni April Yang may built-in pick-up na.

[@erickjmedina]

Galing mo sa research ☺️

Yes, definitely💛 beginner to advanced player, K17P is fine! :)

Is it better than k17a?

[@erickjmedina]

Not really, I think color is the only difference :)

[@wildlyrebellious]

Lingting looks small I mean ergonomically it looks slimmer than gecko K15? Hm.

[@erickjmedina]

Yes I think so although I haven’t seen Gecko K15. I love the shape of this Lingting. 💛😊

But I know a Filipino, can’t do anything. Hahaha it’s funny that I thought of the person while doing that video 😅

[@churroscuro8624]

@@erickjmedina haha i feel for your friend and i get what you mean 😆 it sucks not having an emotional outlet even when im happy! Especially if it's that type of good mood that makes you want to move in some way. I can't sing, dance, or play an instrument. What am i supposed to do? Sit down and vibrate? 😆 im actually trying to learn piano and it feels great even if it takes me a while to learn the songs i want lol. Now i can add a kalimba to the mix because your videos are really informative and theyve helped me choose the one i want!
