    Have you tried this with pedals? I can imagine a reverb would work wonders on this, or a fuzz.

    I think you are very very funny. Thanks to your video I bought an electrical kalimba today, to have a special element for the audience, when playing with my band. It sounds so great in many ways and as a musician, it's extremely cool to experiment with this instrument, so thank you!

    My kalimba came with a manual with the exact same notations for little star 🤣 It took me 30 minutes til I finally gave up and searched "Can't help falling in love" notations instead. I had my kalimba for over a week now and I have learned over 15 songs in total. GLAD I DIDNT WASTE TIME TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THOSE NOTATIONS

    That's not quite the definition of an "electric instrument" but hey. It's just a kalimba with a pickup. I've got a western guitar with a pickup and a built in tuner - that doesn't make it an e-guitar! 😂 The use of a pickup is to amplify the sound and a kalimba is literally the most quiet instrument I can think of 😂 It's obviously got no chance between other instruments, even with a singer it's gonna be too quiet. So a pickup is very much needed for playing together, playing on gigs, concerts etc. and also for recording tracks "cleanly". I thought that was evident 🙈 That's basically always the point of an amp, except for like e-guit and bass where you need the amp to hear any good sound at all.

  • @callmeishmael3031
    @callmeishmael3031 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Why am I watching a video by guys who don't have a clue what they're talking about? I'm a novice looking for guidance. This isn't helping. Anyway, you can get a wah wah reverb sound by moving your fingers across the holes on the back of the instrument or by moving your thumb into the sound hole. It only really works with a few of the notes. There is also an instrument called a sansula which is a kalimba mounted to the head of a drum which is specifically made for that kind of modifying of the sounds. The question I have is, would it make any difference to the output of the instrument if you put the electronic pickup jack on the top of the kalimba rather than on the bottom. I think the plug and wire would get more in the way on the bottom since I tend to use the kalimba down close to my body or near, or on, a tabletop. I'm thinking of converting one of my kalimbas to electronic so I can record.

  • @y2j1980x

    It’s a soft instrument (to quote your words) but can an electric kalimba have distortion on it so it sounds a bit metal?

    My kalimba has a solid, not hollow, body, so mine is VERY quiet. Like, I can play it in a room full of sleeping people who hate music and have no sense of humor, and they won't notice. My daughter has one with a hollow body and it's pretty loud. Too bad mine doesn't have a jack for an amp! It kinda needs it! Although, I am looking into those ones that look like stethoscopes and attach to violins and acoustic guitars. 🤔

    Of course you missed the obvious reason for the electric input. Your DAW. Instead of using a microphone, you plug this device into your audio interface to feed it directly to your daw, or loop pedle etc etc.
