sweet sounding and look great, well made

I got this for my husband anniversary. He loves it. Reminds him of the lead singer of earth wind and fire

This instrument is well-built and the wood is beautiful and durable.<br />Tone is excellent and it is a good buy at the price.

i had seen some in music stores in my area for upwards of $100 but this one was less than half the price and better quality than the ones in shops! thank you so much! i love it! sounds BEAUTIFUL

Use something flat and careful with your fingers while tuning. I managed to nick my finger once and smartened up after that.

This Kalimba is very well-made, and once tuned, has a very beautiful sound. I play the piano, so it took me a while to get used to the scale on this one (back and forth from right hand to left), but not too bad. Its music is gorgeous with a piano accompaniment!

lots of great fun and not hard to listen to should that musical person be a child. My Grandson loved it! Vicki

My only criticism of the product is in the thickness of the tines. This makes the shorter tines hard to play with any amount of sustain and makes it difficult to tune the kalimba. Of course, some have suggested investing in other kalimbas that are better in this area, but cost several times as much as this one. This seems silly to me, though, since for that amount of money one could buy three or four of these and have the convenience of being able to change keys instantly as you could have each one tuned differently. Also, the hidden upside of the thickness of the tines is that, once tuned, the instrument is almost guaranteed to stay in tune for the foreseeable future.<br /><br />In all other respects it's an excellent instrument and I'm very happy with it. The tone is excellent and very soothing, and it is a beautiful instrument even without any intricate designs or decorations.

This is a fun little thing to play around with, easy to tune however you'd like, and safe to let kids play with as well without the worry of it breaking.
