Which one did you buy? The 10 pronged one or the 17 pronged one?

Our African culture bag decided that something wasn't right in our country....... Some peaceful sounds....... So they made drums flutes and what you have...... Kalimba! Thank you for using our item!

Thank you for making them!

Did this instrument remind anyone else of Avatar the Last Airbender?

Shouldn’t you start on the 17 prong karimba so that way when you get better you don’t have to buy a new one and you’ll have more options since you have more notes?

[@1998Danielon]

Yeah, same thing I was thinking.

Cool! I've been considering buying a Kalimba for a while now.

[@InfinityFairytale]

The website KalimbaMagic has a lot of really good information if you're interested. I just took the plunge and bought a Kalimba from amazon and they've really helped me. Heres a link: www.kalimbamagic.com/shop/for-kids-and-beginners

[@deemueller6470]

Did you get it?? I just got mine 2 weeks ago. I love it!

[@Cyclobomber]

The kalimba's sound reminds me of music boxes I had when I was a little kid, the sound had this poetic tinge I can't explain, I think it's also used for mood setting when the griots go from village to village, during story time or when they recite proverbs.

[@janettn]

I really want a kalimba.. i've been watching so many kalimba music videos for the past few years. They are so calming and soothing.

[@mollysl]

This was from 2 years ago so I must know.. did you ever get a kalimba?

[@rezwanchowdhury2651]

I would definitely recommend getting the 17-key one.

[@onlypain.4505]

I picked up the 17 prong (before watching this vid) and already learned 2 full songs after about a day and a half, including Can't Help Falling In Love, and Married Life.

Nick Holgason not really It’s actually pretty easy

[@14uhr2]

Tessa 2007 Glad to hear that. Hahaha ty Tessa~

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

If you've never played an instrument before, it will be. But it's probably the easiest instrument I've learned. You can play really simply things that sound nice, and the way the instrument is designed, it's pretty hard to play things that sound awful.

[@defojira]

I’m getting one of these and I can’t wait

[@lynnclover1206]

You can play right after unboxing it, so lucky! I had to take time for tuning all my Kalimbas before I want to play any song

[@ingejustavanderhelm5208]

At first I thought, this is a crappy video I'm waisting my time, but somehow I saw it through the end anyway and... wow, this is actually a very helpful video! :) I was doubting which size to buy and this video made me decide to go for the small size. Thanks a lot Sir! Groetjes from Amsterdam! :)

[@MiauMichigan]

If someone is thinking about getting one, please go for a 17 key kalimba in C. You'll quickly learn how to play and 10 keys isn't enough for many songs.

what about 21 keys?

i'm a total noob when it comes to music and just recently got a 17 key kalimba and it's amazing... i don't see why you should start with a 10 key one though. even the cheap ones sound amazing and you can play them while laying in bed :D

careful ,Kalimba is addictive (do NOT attempt to play whilst driving your car!) I picked on up in around 1982 ,now I have 9 ,go electric now and then and have not yet graduated to Mbira! LOVE Shona music however

You sold me! How much do you want for that one?

[@ahwee321]

You earned a sub! Cheers

[@Kimoto504]

Those are quite nice and surprisingly inexpensive!

[@SharonCullenArt]

Funny. You don't need a10 tube Kalimba just out some tape over the ones you don't want to use. Beginner songs only use 10 to 15. So for those buying one done waste your money on the 10. Get the 17. Although I'm a musician, it is very simple to learn. Can play anywhere and you don't need to read music. There are lots of resources here in KZbin for learning. I chimney the red tabs to a number chart and it is easy. If you read music you can go a step further using a piano score to write your own cover Kalimba music.

[@tristanfox872]

I want one of these at some point to learn
