My kids love making music! All kinds, so I thought they would enjoy this Kalimba! The craftsmanship is amazing! Very good quality! Wood is smooth with a pretty design! The sound is smooth and nice. It’s easy to use. Easy to see the key numbers, especially with the included stickers. This is a lovely instrument!

This little kalimba impressed me much more than I was expecting. It looks beautiful, and sounds beautiful. It’s also louder than I thought it would be. It comes with a tuning hammer and felt storage bag, as well as some instructions and sample sheet music (with kalimba tab – which I didn’t even know was a thing). I watched a short video online about how to tune it, which was easy (it also covers this in the directions, including a popularly recommended tuning app). My older kids, who are all accomplished musicians, immediately swiped this from me and don’t want to give it back! If that’s not a solid endorsement, I’m not sure what is. 5 stars.

Nice construction and tone. Fits nicely in my hands and it's easy to make pleasant tones. I am sure it's easy for someone with some musical talent and training (not me) to make actual music with it. The included manual has an introduction to the ktabs notation, which directs you to play the keys to produce a tune, with several example tunes and a more detailed introduction of "You are my sunshine". A little music theory might be helpful if you really want to be proficient, but if you just want to fool around there's enough information provided to help with that. If you want more, a little googling of kalimba, kalimba songs and kalimba lessons will lead you to tablature, lessons, and even sheet music for when your playing gets a bit more advanced. From cold start I was able to pick through a couple of tunes with recognizable results, and this instrument sounds surprisingly good. Play is easy on my thumbs, despite a nerve injury on my right hand, much less discomfort than, for example, playing guitar, so it was easier to just concentrate on the notes and less on technique. I am sure technique will enter later as I continue, but who knows? Right now it's good to have something I can grab when i have a free moment and poke around on without it being a production. If that sounds like something you want to do, you can't go too far wrong with this Kalimba, and maybe make a little music, too.

This is a beautiful instrument with a butterfly shape cutout on the front and two little hearts on the back. The notes are etched in the metal which makes it easier to learn how to play. My child who already plays piano was able to play songs on this Kalimba the same day it arrived. It is easy to learn and sounds beautiful. It comes with a storage bag, instructional booklet, and a tuning device, and what I believe are silicone thumb protectors. Watching a few youtube videos helped us learn how to tune it properly. When it arrived, it was already tuned pretty well, so there were few adjustments needed.

I am new to the world of Kalimba and was super excited to learn how to play it. It came packaged very well with a nice velvet pouch, tape for the keys, and a tuning hammer. It also came with a helpful instructional booklet that includes practice scales. I found a few YouTube videos that were very helpful in getting started. The Kalimba is very well constructed and feels sturdy. I love the wood grain with the butterfly cutout. My kalimba came tuned and ready to go. It sounds amazing, and I've been excited to learn the basics. Im all smiles and I highly recommend!
