Oh! This is exciting! My oh my, you are going to LOVE it! 😍

[@craftykat]

I didn't even know Kalimba's existed about a week ago and now I have 2 and this one is on the way, lol I am completely obsessed and love them so much. I used to play the guitar and can't anymore due to finger/shoulder injuries, so this is perfect! Thank you for your review; I should have watched it BEFORE I ordered my LingTing Kalimba, lol, but I'm glad to find you like yours :-).

[@Rascal77s]

I just got mine today. Wow the padauk wood is beautiful. It sounds so good compared to the cheap junk ones I bought before. This is a REAL musical instrument. Everything that comes with it is quality. I never heard of this company before, but they hit a homerun with this kalimba.

[@imover9999]

Such a blessed and great video. Thank you for sharing this with us. Love the ending too. God bless you and yours. 😇

[@nancyleroux4542]

The more I look at various comparisons videos, the more the Lingting is becoming my dream kalimba to get. Since my first two are 17 keys, I think I would go for the 21 keys. But they are all soooo gorgeous! And the chain and tassle! So cute!

[@melmoranda07]

I don’t even have a Kalimba but love watching and listening to you, you are so sweet x

[@superhuey111]

After watching your review I decided to buy one. It is amazing and far superior to the one I bought for the lady in my life! That was not a cheap version but was disappointing with three dead tines that despite applying all the fixes I found on the Net could not be brought back to life. As I am so pleased with my Lingting K17A I have decided. after watching another of your videos, to replace the tines on the duff one with Lingting tines. Thank you so much for all of your excellent videos on all things Kalimba. They are inspirational and I look forward to more

[@charmainedenisse5455]

Been contemplating whether to buy or not. I am not musically gifted that can depict anote right away. But your videos, teaching us and guiding us about kalimba made me buy one. Thank you again

[@TipsKalimba]

Aww I'm so happy to know this. I am also so excited for you that you are brave enough to begin and learn something new 🥰

[@TheStarWarriorHorse]

Thank you for posting this! I’ve been doing some research on kalimbas, and this one sounds optimal so far. I like the fact that it has high resonance and is (supposedly) tuned to C major. (I know I can always change the tone if need be, but because I have never owned a kalimba before, I prefer not to tinker with it too much in the beginning.) BTW, I love your positivity! It’s so wholesome! God bless! ❤

[@bachelawrette]

I got this as my first kalimba, it sounds so dreamy I love it.

@julia Ortmann i so feel you! did you know that the next day, i tried to see which one do i prefer more. and i can't choose which. they are so uniquely beautiful in their own way. lingting gives your fingers comfort while gecko gives your hand (grip) comfort. so i'm actually torn too!

Thank you for your videos. I love especially how you always end your videos. It makes me feel so good. I have a kalimba but it has no brand. I think it's ok as a beginner. But watching you reviewing about this kalimba makes me want to get more. But I don't know what to get since there is a lot of brands out there(gecko, aklot, cega, kimi, lingting, muspor) a different type of wood for the body(mahagony, acasia, bambo) and the tines. I am so confused. What should I do?

Hi S NIYA! Well first of all, thank you so much for sharing this with me and for loving even the ending parts of the videos 🥰 Well, what you can do is first determine what are you looking for in the Kalimba. And from that, look into these brands to see which one stands out for you 🥰

Great review, Tip! :) I do have a question, though: What is this "tremolo chain"? I don't know if you Have used one in the other covers I've seen, so... Is it a handy feature or not really? What does it do?

[@hanikapalafox3331]

The chain isn't really important. It's just the sprinkles that you put on a cupcake--not required or needed, but adding a tremelo chain to a certain song can change its vibe or make it sound peaceful. If you meant literally, the chain rattles against the tines whenever you pluck it. The rattling is caused by the tines' vibration and the rattling also produces soft echoes of the notes that you played :>

[@TipsKalimba]

Jaichbinhier! Hello again my constant friend 😄 Funny thing, I've always wanted to try one of these chains but it slipped out of my head, until i got this Kalimba which already includes it. I think I'll use this for sleep songs or free playing music with water and bird chirps in the background 😄 Hanika i so love your explanation! So on point! Thank you for making the time to share that 😍

[@sokamori28]

probably originates from Shona tradition. They use the mbira to communicate with spirits, "Bottle caps, shells, or other objects ("machachara"[26]) are often affixed to the soundboard to create a buzzing sound when the instrument is played. In a traditional setting, this sound is considered extremely important, as it is believed to attract ancestral spirits." -- source, Wikipedia

Thanks good review!! I bought it.

[@TipsKalimba]

Oooh! Congratulations in advance! 😍❤️

[@KD-oo9bd]

love this video, and love you! very well said, and I'm so close to getting it. I am curious about one thing: how heavy is this LingTing? I read somewhere that it was 480g (2.46lbs) and that seems a bit heavy for a hand instrument. Does it feel heavy to you? My other alternative kalimba is a Kimi (it weights 1.95lbs). I love the sound of the LingTing more, but the weight seems like it might be an issues, especially given the curve of the edge that you mention

[@TipsKalimba]

The weight is fine. :) Maybe it's like the weight of 3 big apples. 😆❤️

I've had a hollow body Gecko that I've been using for several years, and I've been happy with it. The only issue is that the end tines have a plinky, toy piano sound. So when I started seeing these LingTing 17A reviews, I ordered! It's the best available that's not super expensive.

[@maye5480]

Wow nice review😊 k17A is great 😍

[@TipsKalimba]

Thank you, Mariel! Yes! It's has such quality 😍

[@krd3113]

I really love your videos soo much and I love you even more. I have a question. When we want to learn a song we have to tune the kalimba. how can we tune it to the one needed to perform the cover? Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@TipsKalimba]

Aww thanks for the love Rand! I so love the question. I explained this in our scaling video here in our channel. It's the one with the thumbnail "scaling" :)

[@wm1pyro604]

Thanks for the review, I'm probably going to order one of these in the morning. I was just wondering if not having the note stickers is a huge deal if you're a beginner? Should I order some seperate ones or just write over the ones given? Or could you just print out a piece of paper and put it on top lol?

[@TipsKalimba]

Hi! They actually provide both letters and numbers now. This is a good choice ❤️

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

@@TipsKalimba I *just* ordered this one from Amazon so I hope mine comes with both letters and numbers…Amazon makes me so nervous because I feel like they often sell knock-offs or factory seconds. I hope mine is real and high quality.

[@gamzkalimba]

Thank you for this.😊

[@TipsKalimba]

You are so welcome my friend! 😍

[@jazzie2967]

This kalimba is on my wishlist, but i will not buy it until i learn more covers since i already have one :D. Woowww the chain makes it such nicer 🌟🌸💐

[@TipsKalimba]

Oooh that's a great plan, Jazzie! 😍❤️

Hello! I really love how helpful your videos are!! I was thinking about getting this kalimba, but as a total newbie I'm unsure because my hands are pretty small and I don't know if it would be better to get one with the notes engraved? I really love how it sounds though. Do you think it would be okay for small hands or do you have other suggestions? Thank you!!

[@TipsKalimba]

Oooh! Yes! This is perfect for small hands as compared to other brands. Honestly, i would love to have this kalimba as my very first. That's how much i do love it ❤️

[@outermars]

@@TipsKalimba Thanks so much for the reply!! I'm going to be following your beginner videos after I order this. Keep up the good work!!

[@LuiPlaysGenshin_ayo]

Thank u ate sa vid mo nag ka idea ako 💖 planning to have a flatboard kalimba soon eh ☺️

[@TipsKalimba]

i love it! yes Mimi dear, personally mas okay si flatboard para saken :D

[@denkeylee]

I watched a vid on how to play it. Thumbs on tines, forefingers forward on both sides and the other fingers underneath. The palms of the hand never touch the Kalimba. Hope that helps.

[@TipsKalimba]

Thanks for the input, Billy!

[@ohchachaohyaya258]

Oh my god! I cant stop looking at your cute face! Btw the kalimba looks fancy with the chains on.

[@TipsKalimba]

Hahaha! Aww, you are such a sweetheart 🥰i absolutely agree with you, it's like it has a necklace 😄

[@maisondrancy7687]

I bought this model to replace my defective Cega but when I tried to tune it, the E3 tine sounds like a D#4 (at least, that's what the DaTuner app tells me). I've tried other apps but I don't know what to do about the sound of this tine...Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

[@MsCrinnah]

Hello. Thank you for this honest review about the Lingting🤩 Just wondering if you have tried using the pick up? How do you use it? Is it like a mic? Thank you.😊

[@TipsKalimba]

hi MsCrinnah! this is quite funny, cause i too want to try it out but i do not have an amplifier hahaha! so i'll go get the parts needed then i will make a video specifically for this and i will mention you too! :D

[@TipsKalimba]

so the pic up is like a mic or the EQ on some kalimbas. :)

[@Lenkalpaca]

Aaahh thank you for the review! Will you be doing a review of the kimi kalimba as well?

[@TipsKalimba]

Oooh! I do have a plan on making one. Right now i can already tell you that it is a good one too! 😄

[@Lenkalpaca]

Thanks for the reply! I'm looking forward to the video 🥰

[@Kalimba_Dream]
