Cet instrument joue de beau son. Mon époux joue chaque semaine et c'est Zen

The LingTing 17 Keys Thumb Piano flat board in C tone is a beautiful sounding instrument. I own two thumb pianos, the LingTing which I .prefer to play rather than the 17 Keys box style. The flat board has a soft, relaxing sound for the type of music I wish to play, whereas the box thumb piano is louder for outdoor playing. I am teaching myself; however, I would like to have some lessons. I started out having no knowledge of music, and yet was able to start playing simple songs right away. If you wish to play an instrument; if you wish to make a small investment in an instrument, I recommend LingTing 17 Keys in C. It is so easy to tune, easy in learning to play, light weight and portable, and some come with a protective case which I recommend. Anyone at any age can learn to play this instrument to one’s satisfaction. And if you want quality, LingTing is a beautiful, well sounding and quality choice.

This Wind Whisperer Ling Ting 17 key kalimba is tuned to C major. Superior clear resonating sound from slimmer curved blank tines. Why choose C over B? The higher C scale has a purer almost lighter fairy like tone that is enjoyable to hear for most songs. There are more available options within the kalimba community to find shared songs with C major scale notes and numbers. The smooth unvarnished wood is a lovely red African Rosewood. Perhaps too intense. Not as attractive and distinct markings as many other wood grains. Will not discuss size specifics but it has a denser body and could be heavier than what you are use to. The smaller dimensions makes it easier to hold and play. This both looks and feels like a high grade kalimba. Perhaps a beginner might want to start on a less pricey one that has wider tines. The usual extras are included plus a stick on sound amplifier, tremolo chain and green decorative tassel. The semi-hard protective case is well constructed. Please note that I have placed butterfly stickers on the wood which can easily be removed without damaging. Suggest watching a few of the many YouTube reviews and kalimba players using this popular model.

The kalimba produced good sounds but the quality is not so good. The wood is smooth and OK. The tuning hammer broke into 2 pieces on the first use. As some tines were slightly off it was rather difficult to tune with a broken hammer. One of the screws was not painted properly (ie one gold and the other kinda blakish) the z bracet is not perfectly aligned horizontally. I do not have time to return the product or organise swaps etc. Just taking my time to review to help future buyers

What more can I say... what a work of art. The sound on this kalimba is just wonderful. It came perfectly in tune, has great resonance on all keys, and looks very nice. It is a little heavier than I was expecting, but I'm sure I'll get used to this over time. I'm so happy with my purchase, that I'll probably consider also buying the LT-K17P (B-Tone) as well, once I have a little more experience with playing this lovely instrument.
