Kalimba Thumb Piano 21 Keys, Portable Mbira Finger Piano Gifts for Adults Beginners(Brown)

Beautiful just like the picture

this is harder to play than expected. with my fat crazy fingers i found it hard to manipulate them to what i desired on such small prongs. it functions well. the notes are loud and clear. sturdy. compact. but the two biggest humps: it's not perfectly ascending like a keyboard piano, and the prongs are small for the fingers. on the flip, i imagine with practice, dedication, and youtube, it would be easier than usual to do well.

Nice tone. Odd, I feel like I've written that before.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this kalimba. All of the keys work, it sounds decent, and it is even prettier than the picture. It comes engraved with large letters and numbers. However, they aren't darkened, so if you have poor eyesight and are a novice musician, I recommend going over them with a black fine point sharpie marker. You can always remove the ink with rubbing alcohol if you don't need it later. It does come with stickers, but the stickers were made for a 17-key kalimba instead of a 21-key kalimba, so the stickers for 4 notes are missing. Alternatively, if you don't mind paying extra, you can always order 21-key kalimba stickers separately. The tines are nicely bent for ease of plucking, and there aren't any sharp edges on them. It feels sturdier than I expected it to, but I still wouldn't recommend dropping it on a hard surface - it doesn't take much force to crack a hollow kalimba. Can the sound quality compete with my more expensive flatboard kalimbas? No. But for $18, it's a nice kalimba. I think I will actually use this one from time to time, when I am in the mood for a louder sound. Anyone interested in trying out a kalimba, who doesn't want to invest a lot of money on something they aren't sure they'll stick with, would be very happy with it. As someone who has tried and given away numerous cheap, hollow kalimbas, I have to say that this one is the best of the bunch.

love these ive ordered like 4 of them

very nice quality

It's such a pretty Kalimba, and it's 21 keys. Unfortunately, while I'm very musically inclined with several instruments in an eclectic way, I can't figure out how to tune this. I've downloaded several apps, I can't make heads or tales of them, it's more work than enjoyment - and when contacting the seller for any helpful hints they were very short in tone and offered zero help. It's super pretty and some of the keys have a beautiful sound, but if there's no one to teach you how to tune it, and the seller themselves won't offer an ounce of help, I can't recommend it for anyone other than people great at tuning.

Brought for daugther and she love the color

Très beau son et facile à jouer

Even though the price is high, the product is good. Works well as expected.

Comme c’est un cadeau pour Noël, je n’ai pas d’avis; malgré tout, ça semble être exactement ce qui est annoncé

CONFORME BONNE CONDITION PLUS CHER QUE COMPARABLE MAIS IL Y A UN PEU PLUS DE TRAVAIL SUR LE CAISSON POUR 30% DE PLUS

Belle finition, beau son, beaucoup plus de possibilités grâce aux 4 notes supplémentaires
