Good instrument once you get it tuned properly. From the factory, not so much.

It sounds very nice but I cannot for the life of me tune it. You have to tune it extremely (and I mean extremely) high to get a correct scale. Otherwise fantastic

Tuning this instrument was a challenge. I like challenges so no stars are lost on that account. Once tuned, this little thumb piano is so much fun to play with. The sound is light and, well, plinky, if that makes sense.

Great little kalimba, but, be warned, it does not come already tuned. As I collect kalimbas, this was not a problem for me since I can tune kalimbas. For those just starting out learning how to play a kalimba, this may not be the kalimba for you.

The instrument is beautiful and appears to be well made. As has been mentioned previously, it is very important to note that it is NOT in tune and will require some patient work and a tuner (free phone apps are available for that) to get it in tune. Also, the tounges are very close together, so is not good for large fingers. I am actually considering removing every other tounge and finding an alternative tuning.

Christmas gift for my oldest Son. He loves it and it plays beautifully! There was not a single blemish on it - at least none that we could find, and we scoured for anything slightly resembling a mar. Nothing wrong with it at all. It's gorgeous! Very pleased with this gift.

I got this as a gift for my one year old. It was small enough for him and it had a nice big resonator chamber for it's size. I didn't know that I would have to tune it but I didn't mind. Six tines in and I hit a problem; the tine was too short to lower it's pitch enough for it to be fully in tune. It is a few cents short of being a half step sharp (it should be an F#, it is almost a G)<br /><br />The excess ends of all of the tines are widely varying lengths. This leads me to believe that they might have installed the tines in the wrong order (the B has a lot of excess so maybe it was actually the F# in the wrong position).<br /><br />Anyhow, you might have better luck than I did.

The kalimba is well built as far as the wood construction. The metal keys are not tuned properly as they should be. This is more of a wall trophy not a palyable instrument. That's why the price is low.

The kalimba I received was hardly in tune at all. I'm not sure if I can re-tune it myself by bending and shifting the pieces, but even if I can it will be a large hassle. For the price, though, this kalimba is a steal. I would recommend it as a fun, cute sounding toy for a kid, but if you actually want it as a playable instrument, you should consider upscaling to another kalimba.
