Kalimba Thumb Piano 17 Keys with mahogany Wood Portable Mbira Finger Piano Gifts for Friends and piano Beginners Professional （Bright blue）

Please forgive the video - the way I set up the camera was a little hard to play at the same time 😅 This kalimba is absolutely beautiful, both aesthetically and by sound. It sounds almost like a music box and the tuning process is simple - it took me around thirty minutes to properly tune my kalimba, but when I was done I felt super accomplished and was fascinated with the sounds of each note. The book included comes with instructions on how to play two songs, but I personally would recommend looking up what you want to learn to play online. Avatar's Love is a pretty common kalimba song and is very simple and beginner friendly. This instrument is fantastic for people who may never have played an instrument before. It is easy to learn and to play, and enjoyable to practice. The instrument is quiet enough not to bother your neighbors if you live in an apartment and loud enough to play for a room of people at the same time. The blue color is very pretty and easy to clean. It does not get dirty easily. The keys do need to be cleaned; the wipe provided in the bag is pretty much good enough to do so. I would fully recommend this product. I have anxiety and ADHD and wanted to see if it would help, but the sounds the kalimba makes are extremely calming and satisfying. If you're debating on if you should get it, let this be your sign to go in!

Amazing, beautiful sounds, gorgeous blue, easy to learn (kind of). Don't give up, takes time and patience. Using your thumbs only is not the only way, you can use all 10. Having nails is better, sound improves, easier to touch only one key at a time. Tuning is easy. I recommend Gstrings app. Drawstring bag, cleaning cloth, hammer, thumb protectors, stickers with all the notes for placing on Kalimba, and manual all included. A little confusing on the placements of the notes. Not like piano keys. Feeling proud after playing a song is an awesome feeling. Much better to carry around than a piano.🎹🤗

This kalimba sounds so pretty! Each and every tine plays perfectly. I did have to tune it, but it was super easy to tune. It is very sturdy and comes with a heavy duty case. It has a nice aesthetic being clear. And honestly it is wonderful to help relax you during anxiety attacks- that is what I initially started using the kalimba for, now I just want to play random songs just to hear the little chimes. For what it is worth... the axolotl song notes are: 5 5 5 6 7 6 5 3 2 5 5 5 5 6 7 6 5 5 6 6 5 5 1' 1' 1' 1' 7 5 5 1' 1' 1' 1' 7 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 4 3 2 Enjoy!

I ordered this product looking for a new instrument to pick up in my past time, and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by this Kalimba. The wood is light, (though thin), and the color/dye is a lovely deep slightly turquoise-y blue. The etched design is pretty clean, and the wood (possible plastic) is smooth, so there's no worry of splinters. The drawstring bag is made of a soft velvety material that's lovely for a soft, non-abrasive bag, but seems to attract every pet hair, loose pine needle, or any other debris it happens to come across. My Kalimba had one "dead" tine, it doesn't ring too well, and just makes a high-pitched PLINK sound. I havrnt had to use that specific key, thankfully, but it might be wprth noting for others. Overall, this Kalimba otherwise has a lovely, music-box sound. Definitely seems like a good Kalimba for anyone wanting to start out.

I love this instrument. I wanted something that would be easy to learn and less frustrating than more complex instruments. I want to use it as a sensory release as well as meditation. I think it is perfect, and super fun. I love the color, it is a deep royal blue shade on the wood. It comes with instructions, a booklet to play it, sheet music, accessories for your hands when playing, and a case. The case is a drawstring velvet bag and it fits the instrument and the accessories. The size of this instrument is perfect for me as a short, smaller woman. I love it as it is easy to hold. I am not sure about tuning it yet, I am yet to try that. However, I did okay it already just for fun and it sounds great so far and is very cool to play around with.

Brought this to camp. Sounds nice and relaxing. Easy to learn to play.

My 12 year old loves music and loves trying out the "not so mainstream" instruments. She loves this! She is a quick learner and had two songs memorized the first day she received her kalimba. The instrument came in a nice packaging and was completely in tune when it arrived. The sound quality is beautiful and soothing. It has more of a "smooth" sound in comparison to her acrilic kalimba. I was concerned about the quality due to the rather low cost. It did not disappoint! I say go for it, even if you have no musical ability and can't read music (like me) you can still make some beautiful sounds by just plucking the tines. I find it extremely relaxing and truly helps to ease my anxiety when I sit down and just listen to the sounds. The only thing I will say is that it does not come with a hard case, if you plan on leaving it home the bag is just fine. If you want to take it anywhere I strongly suggest purchasing a hard case to keep it from damage to the tines.

This kalimba is so delightful sounding. It's a step up for me because I am use to kalimbas that sound like music boxes. This kalimba is made of mahogany wood yet it feels like I am holding a feather, it's very lightweight. The keys are much easier to press than my other kalimbas. The blue black paint finish is eye-catching and pleasing to look at. I find that the crisp bright resonating sound produced by this kalimba is better for playing popular songs. My other music box sounding kalimbas (solid board) are best for playing classical music. Popular songs like 'A Kiss From A Rose' by Seal and 'Lovin You' by Minnie Riperton sound better tabbed on this Kalimba. Thank You to the craftsmen that made this.

Produto muito bom, veio tudo certinho como nas fotos, o kit completo. Existe apenas um ponto de alerta que é em relação a cor, pedi o azul e realmente vem um azul bem mais escuro do que o da foto, mas no geral é ótimo. Recomendo.

Love love love. Ordered 4 more for gifts. Great looking, good sound, easy to use.

Love the product. Best buy. Melodious sound.

Superb

Bought (because of the Gods Must Be Crazy) for camping trips. Did have some troubles tuning the smaller notes on the edge but got there in the end (The hammer supplied needs a very light touch). Speaking of supplies the booklet is well written and the note styles are easy to understand. I haven't learned any songs on it yet but just as a n00b strumming it sounds pretty good! Looking forward to learning it and even bought a second one so my mum doesn't have to be so envious!
