I am a beginner Kalimbaist, and this is a nice starter instrument. You can download a free app to play the correct tones, then adjust the Kalimba to fit. All in, Fun times ahead!

As someone who loves kalimbas, I'd say this one is a fun little one,It's more of a toy. I keep this kalimba out and find it fun just to grab when I get the urge to play a kalimba. (Trust me, if you haven't played it yet, kalimba is addicting!)

It's amazing how seamlessly the resin is attached to the very smoothly finished wood. Closing my eyes, I can't really tell when my finger glides over one surface or the other. If I had to just give a star rating for this kalimba, I would maybe give it five stars. It's a beautiful instrument and plays well.

This is the most darling, little kalimba I have ever seen. It is small enough to close the palm of your hand around it. You can just drop it in your pocket and walk around with it if you wanted. It is a great conversation starter!

This tiny little 8 key Kalimba is the cutest. I did not expect it to be such nice quality. In the image on the listing, it looks like orange plastic. It is wood and very well done. A beautiful little instrument. I can just slip it into my pocket and bring it with anywhere. The keys are easy to tune by hand. I like that it only has 8 keys. It makes learning songs even easier. I figured out how to play the theme song to Jurassic Park just by messing around with the keys right after I took it out of the box. Great little travel size Kalimba!

I upload a picture of this mini size Kalimba compare with a regular size Kalimba. This Kalimba made from wood. It has 8 notes, do, re, mi, fa, sol, la ,si, do. The pitch are good. So it is great for me to do ear training with my kids. It has the same tone with the regular size Kalimba. It is easy to operate, great for beginners to explore the music world. No matter how kids play with it, the sounds always beautiful.

"The product looks sturdy and well made. The sound is good, the metal sounds very soft and soothing, the sound will not sound too long or loud. It looks very cute, small and compact, and you can easily carry with you. Loved it."

Great for kids to learn and try out. I purchased 6 and the kids love them. They are very well made the wood is beautiful, the tines were very nice and seemed to be in tune. The sound is really sweet so when they practice it isn't annoying.

The size was good. The sound is fine. It is easy enough for a 4 year old to play. We have everything else, remo drums, percussion, uke, and like the harmonica, this is portable.

I bought this for my nephew who loves all kinds of unique things. He loves it. Brings it out at family gatherings and parties. Everyone enjoys giving it a try. It would make a fun gift for anyone.
