Hello everyone, In my opinion, the mid range price will cost about 25-50 USD, unless a seller has the unit marked down. Hope you get a kalimba and produce sweet music. 😊 These tips will just say: Why buy a Fender if you are not skillful enough to handle a Squire? Squire, by the way, is a fine and decent guitar brand. 💛

In my opinion, midrange kalimbas cost: $25 to $50. Btw, these tips do apply NOT JUST for KALIMBAS. When you’re buying something else, consider these tips too 💛 EDIT: I'm changing my mind after seeing the wider market. Midrange goes: $25 to $100 USD. Kalimbas beyond 100 seem too expensive if you just want to learn how to play kalimba.

I wish I had seen this before I bought my Kalimba! I bought one dirt cheap (about $13) which I guess is good enough for me to fool around with. It does have a pretty good sound and I think I will enjoy it. One piece of advice: read the description. The one I bought did not come with a tuner. Fortunately I found one online for just over $2 with free shipping. Unfortunately, it will not arrive for at least a month. Meanwhile, I'm using a tack hammer, which works okay. More expensive ones will have the tuner, and possibly a cleaning cloth and finger picks. Mine is plain wood, no design or even finish on it. Erick, yours is pretty. BTW thanks for the video!

Thank you for the tips on selecting the right kalimba for my purposes. I saw one about 45 years ago in a random TV commercial and always wanted one but thought they would not be commonly available. So I was thrilled when I saw them on Amazon. No opportunity to hear the sound before purchase, but I got an Eastrock brand. It sounds great to my musically untrained ear and only cost me about $37 with tax. I have learned to play "Morning Has Broken". (I think I'm using up all the available fun in Ohio.)

Looking at the options in the market, one may actually see the middle price. It varies from country to country, exchange rates, and the mark down decision of reseller. Well, I should say this: 25-50 USD MAY be the mid range cost (without the mark down). That price is not definite, just an estimation in my opinion.

This is such an intelligent way to approach buying a kalimba, and really any big decision you're having trouble with. Inform yourself as much as you can, look at the range of costs/prices, and then ask yourself if that's what you really want. For example, in addition to the kalimba, it also helped me make a decision about which camera I wanted to buy, and made it a much less painful process with less doubt and hesitation. Thanks and God Bless from Washington, D.C.!

I like the Kalimba because i love how it sounds, i dont like loud noises or too loud instruments, and i found that the Kalimba existed and i really liked it! I wanted to ask you guys for brands, or prices (like hes saying in the video, too expensive is for a professional but too cheap it won't work.) Also where should i buy it? I saw some on amazon,($40 dollars or so) im looking for a 17 key one,is a good brand and doesn't sound too loud (i think you can adjust the sound though, and im pretty sure none of them sound THAT high-pitched) Thank you for taking your time in reading this!

I also have to tune a tine every now and then. When I get good I will go for 34 keys.

Interesting question! :) Have you heard that major chords sound happy while minor chords sound sad, seemingly there's a tension? If you start your musical arrangment with minor chords, it will definitely feel sad.. Keep playing minor chords. Minor to major, and back to minor, something like that. :)

Hi! Thanks for sharing. Yes I hope it doesnt have the problem. Hmm i need google to covert it. Haha I think it’s safe to buy a kalimba that costs $25 above. It’s better to buy a known brand.

Nice.. Well explained sir.. lalo na sa tip #2. Para sa mga may Mindset na since beginner palang sila they will choose or buy the cheaper one. Pero ang hindi nila alam may malaking factor din kasi kung bakit naging ganun ung presyo ng mga branded na kalimba.. mas enjoy naman kasi talaga.. at nakaka gana tumugtog ng kahit anong instrumento basta maganda tumunog. Ung tipong satisfied ka at happy ka.. yun na yun..

@@janmilpatrickpastera5991hello. what kind of kalimba did you bought? is that a hollow (with a hole in the middle)? i messaged Kalimba Music Philippines to ask about this problem. (Ya'll can try messaging them and joining their group 'coz the admins are real responsive and cool!) They told me that hollow kalimbas really have that weakness of having unsustained/stiff sound on its higher keys or the end tines. The great types of kalimbas are flatbosrds. But they told me to tune my kalimba, and prolong the growth of my thumbnails to be used in plucking those tines. Then, just try plucking them, moving it side by side to loosen those tines. According to them, there was a member of their group who had the same problem before snd after s year, that member was able to make the dead tines sound better or good. Changing tines isnt an option. Changing the body of the kalimba IS.

But, I think there arent any stores around my city that sell it, so I cant hear which one has a good sound (the sound of edge tines especially). If I must buy it from the online store, where & how can I find it good with the reasonable price? And how much is the range of price should I buy? Thanks 😄

Thanks! :) Iba iba yung range nya minsan pag may nag ssale, nagiging mura sya pero mid range pa din.. Price should be 1000 higher para masabi nating midrange. Cheapest ones are below P1000. Better to buy yung mga around 1500 pataas. Surely, that wont disappoint you. Pili ka brand na madami na gumagamit. 😃
