love it!!!

i love your collection of kalimba love your videos also

I have both. And love both. Flet-board Gecko k17cap is amazing. It has music-box like sound, sweet. It is easy for playing because it has wider lamelas, and you comfortably play any song. Lower tines will give you some amazing, like "underwater sound" and great sustain (my came in B (or H in my country)). When you play it all look like you play piano. Tines are great made and put in one plane perfectly. On the other side, I have two hollows. One is 15 keys from Boyan Syanski, from Spain. It's circle shape kalimba with non-standard lamelas. He has just puted some very tiny aluminium parts, but souds great. Amazing big sound (I put my from low F). My second hollow is vintage treble Hugh Tracey kalimba. I get it cheap, but it is in very good condition. And here is must important difference between hollow and flat. Hugh Tracey are hollow, but made from SOLID AFRICAN KIIAT wood, with lamelas which has beautiful sound, AFRICAN SOUND. You don't have here "music box" sound as on flet, and some other hollow kalimbas. No, in every note you have PERCUSION part, some "plinky, click sound", and I simply LOVE IT. And african style music, made for mbira, sound great on it. I would like to know, does, on exemple, Meinel hollows have similar sound to Hugh Tracey, or it is just another amplified music box?

Thank you for this video :) I enjoyed watching it and I'm going to buy a kalimba now :)

I need something better than a beat up coconut kalimba first :[

Eu sou do brasil e comprei minha primeira Kalimba, gostaria muito que você postasse mais tutoriais de musicas, os seus são excelentes! Parabéns pelo seu talento

Since I'm a harp player and the harps strings have Cs in red and Fs in blue or black I used the stickers to mark the Cs and Fs on my first kalimba..It just made it easier to See with a quick glance. That kalimba has the note names at the top of the tine which is hard to see. So that helped. My other kalimbas have the note names at the bottom where you play so I never marked them..

Bruh, i thought the stickers is for the design

Everyone with OCD screaming about the untrimmed sticker .

Thank you for the comparison. I prefer the sound of a flatboard, so I ordered a Ling Ting K17A as my first Kalimba. Soooo looking forward to it!

Dripped out and blinged up 🤣

So much talent!!! 😮😮😮

This was so useful I came to CZcams just to leave a comment and like. Thanks, my dude.

What do you think I could do if one of the keys sounds like a different one? For instance, I play C but the app says It sounds like A instead.

so I dont know which one I want and both sound really cool so I might just buy both. And do you have any recommendations for online stores that sell kalimba's?

Damn ! you have a lot of dead tines.😵

wait but which is the best tho?

Thank

For me the only 17 key in C that had brilliant sound across the whole board was a Hokema B17 (solid board), hideously expensive but has an astonishing sound - including the highest keys....AND the tines are held from the front by screws so it's REALLY easy to clean/disassemble or replace tines. Got a few lingtings too which are VERY good, but they do tend to be tuned lower (presumably so that the higher keys are actually usable), and a solid B Gecko kalimba which is also good.

Nice, thank you so much!

Are you sure Hugh Tracey Kalimbas is shutting down or is it that Mark Holdaway of Kalimbamagic is retiring from selling kalimbas? He's, without a doubt, their best distributor, but I didn't get the impression from him that the South African Company that makes them are stopping.

Wow

Kool collection!! I'm thinking about getting one for fun. I like having things that make noise 😊 Thanks for the video

Kalimba Chords in the key of C CM- CDG Dm- DFA Em- EGB FM- FAC GM- GBD Am- ACE Bdim- BDF there's your chords

I don’t no if I did something but I can’t figure it out 🥺

Arpeggiated chords, love it.❤🎉 I just got my first flat board kalimba after starting out on a hollow body. I think this technique will work exceptionally well with this type of kalimba.

bolf kalimba is the best pricey but quality

Thanks so much

Great job, I would like to learn, the most imprtant thing is where have got the tabs for all the songs? Could you please share the source? I tried to find this version of "Eye of the tiger", but you start somehow different here.

are you sure that's vibrato and not tremolo??

Now how do i play a bsus2/g#

Agree with the pinned comment. That is the Newlam 17 key Kalimba. I just bought one to gift to someone special at Christmas.

Simple but SUPER important to comprehend
