Review: A Superb Kalimba — Professional Quality At An Affordable Price - It's time to grow out your thumb nails! This is an exceptional kalimba at any price — easily one of the nicest gifts I've ever given myself. The fact that it can be had for less than $30 makes it even better. The Unokki 17-Key Kalimba has beautiful tone and resonance. Its sound is somewhere between a music box and a heavenly harp — extremely pleasant, calming and soothing. My Unokki kalimba has absolutely no dead tines. (A "dead tine" is a key that sounds "thunky" and doesn't resonate. The actual problem with many people who complain about dead tines is poor picking technique. In one desertcart demo video, I saw a clueless player hammering on the keys. The hammer is for tuning, NOT playing.) Even the outer, higher notes ring out clearly and sweetly. However, the two outer, higher keys do not resonate as long as the lower notes. That's normal and to be expected; they're shorter keys. Also, many older adults don't hear higher pitches as well as lower tones. This lovely instrument is made out of quality tonewood that produces a warm sound and is pleasing to hold. The satin matte finish and rounded edges make it very comfortable. I play mine for long stretches of time, without any pain or discomfort. The soundbox is decorated with an attractive wood-burned design that gives it a touch of elegance. If you're not sure how to play the kalimba properly, watch some how-to videos on YouTube and/or buy a book on kalimba. Both can make a huge difference for a beginning player and lead to a much more satisfying experience. This 17-key kalimba comes bundled with a number of accessories, including: a tuning hammer, small instruction booklet with songs, pair of silicone thumb protectors (not the best way to play; use your thumb nails if possible), a note name and number soundbox sticker (use optional), magenta and turquoise tine stickers (use optional), black velveteen storage bag and tine-wiping cloth. The product box is such that it can be saved and used as a storage case. However, I recommend buying a proper kalimba case that is constructed nicely and has pockets and/or slots for everything. (You don't want the tuning hammer knocking around into your instrument.) Also, I've noticed that many buyers of this kalimba have stated that it's ready to play, straight out of the box. That has NOT been my experience with ANY adjustable, musical instrument. I suspect those reviewers might be beginners and/or slightly tone-deaf. After being bounced around during shipping travel, just about every musical instrument needs tuning and the kalimba is no exception. With mine, I even had to re-space some of the tines. The Unokki booklet recommends the free chromatic tuning apps gStrings for Android and insTuner for iOS. I used the free Pano Tuner app which worked very well and is available for both Android and iOS. However, I'm considering buying an all-instrument clip-on tuner. They're affordable and remind me of the extremely accurate and fast Snark brand tuners that I use on my guitars and ukuleles. Don't be freaked-out about tuning your kalimba. Read the instruction booklet, watch a few videos, use an app or tuning device and tap gently. It's not hard and makes all the difference in the world with the sound. Many musicians, articles, videos and websites recommend the Unokki 17-Key Kalimba over the extremely popular Gecko brand. While I have not tried the latter, I think the Unokki kalimba is exceptional. I'm extremely pleased with my Unokki kalimba's sound, performance and quality. I think it's comparable to many of the more expensive kalimbas I've seen and heard played by professional thumb pianists on YouTube. This gem is definitely a keeper. I'm so delighted with my Unokki kalimba, I don't want to put it down.
Review: I'm obsessed with it - I got this two days ago, didn't even know what a kalimba was until like four days ago and I've already learned 3 full songs. It's incredibly easy to learn if you focus and practice (I play piano as well so I feel that if you play piano there is a significant advantage at getting the hang of this a bit quicker). I've attached a video of the sound, first just the scales and then how it sounds when some song is being played. The sound blew out my microphone on my phone a little bit so it sounds a bit scratchier in the video than it does in person. Also, it feels well made. I don't have anything to compare it to because this is the only one I've ever owned or known, but it feels sturdy, the engraving is pretty and it sounds nice. Also comes with some tools to tune it if needed and a little learning booklet (although, I found youtube tutorials more helpful- look up "kalimba tabs")

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't put it down
*by T***N on January 28, 2023*

This was a Christmas gift for family and the kids sat down with it and started playing right away. In fact, they forgot about other presents and were enthralled with the sound and how much fun it was to play. The very second that the kids put it down, one of the adults picked it up and played around with it too. It was probably the most popular gift of the day. I was tickled that it was loved so much. It's impressive to look at too. Very pretty and well crafted. Everyone loved the tone of the instrument and before I left that day, I heard a few songs. It's easy and fun to learn. A great gift!
