    The thing that discourages me from playing is figuring out how to read and play typical sheet music with it (not with numbers or letters but with notes that most instruments use). There's so many songs I want to learn but don't know how to use typical music notation with it. I just get confused easily and don't know much about music.

  • @sunnyday7135
    @sunnyday7135 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah, it's possible and rather easy, but I hate it when I have to tune my kalimba every time I want to play a particular song. Sometimes it takes 3 minutes or so because there are 17 keys and sometimes you have to tune most of them... So I prefer putting the songs into a C major or A minor to match the kalimba tuning (tho it's kinda boring to have all the songs in the same key)

  • @arriannaniv
    @arriannaniv ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I thought it sounded good before I tuned it, but after and it’s like no matter what I play it’s gorgeous. Can just flick random keys and it’s so satisfying. But yes.. took me like 30 minutes to tune it properly. The higher ones were the most finicky. I felt so accomplished if I tuned one correctly the first try though. The E at the end was hard. Kept trying to register as an F till I put the kalimba right over the microphone

    What it can be discouraging is people's hypocrisy about kalimba. People said is the most "accessible" instrument, but you need nails, which some of us have a hard time to grow it. Worse, people advice about alaska pick, but they didn't even use it in the first place. There's like zero tutorial about how to play with, not even the glissando.
    I know, I wrote it by frustration, but I feel that it's important to point it out...
