ive always sucked with every instrument, i cant sing, nor can i dance. ive always known ive had a musical passion. the second i saw one of these, i fell in love. i bought it as soon as i saw it. within the first hour, i felt i mastered it. its truely a beautiful and elegant instrument! this is MY instrument!
I've been a musician for 10 years now, and the look on your face when you played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is the perfect capture of the feeling I have whenever I make music 😊
Our African culture bag decided that something wasn't right in our country....... Some peaceful sounds....... So they made drums flutes and what you have...... Kalimba! Thank you for using our item!
Shouldn’t you start on the 17 prong karimba so that way when you get better you don’t have to buy a new one and you’ll have more options since you have more notes?
The website KalimbaMagic has a lot of really good information if you're interested. I just took the plunge and bought a Kalimba from amazon and they've really helped me. Heres a link: www.kalimbamagic.com/shop/for-kids-and-beginners
The kalimba's sound reminds me of music boxes I had when I was a little kid, the sound had this poetic tinge I can't explain, I think it's also used for mood setting when the griots go from village to village, during story time or when they recite proverbs.
I picked up the 17 prong (before watching this vid) and already learned 2 full songs after about a day and a half, including Can't Help Falling In Love, and Married Life.
If someone is thinking about getting one, please go for a 17 key kalimba in C. You'll quickly learn how to play and 10 keys isn't enough for many songs.
If you've never played an instrument before, it will be. But it's probably the easiest instrument I've learned. You can play really simply things that sound nice, and the way the instrument is designed, it's pretty hard to play things that sound awful.
Funny. You don't need a10 tube Kalimba just out some tape over the ones you don't want to use. Beginner songs only use 10 to 15. So for those buying one done waste your money on the 10. Get the 17. Although I'm a musician, it is very simple to learn. Can play anywhere and you don't need to read music. There are lots of resources here in TH-cam for learning. I chimney the red tabs to a number chart and it is easy. If you read music you can go a step further using a piano score to write your own cover Kalimba music.
i'm a total noob when it comes to music and just recently got a 17 key kalimba and it's amazing... i don't see why you should start with a 10 key one though. even the cheap ones sound amazing and you can play them while laying in bed :D
careful ,Kalimba is addictive (do NOT attempt to play whilst driving your car!) I picked on up in around 1982 ,now I have 9 ,go electric now and then and have not yet graduated to Mbira! LOVE Shona music however
Hi it’s Geoff from England Uk and basically this is a nice intresting instrument and I’m going to need your advice tips to teach or learn to play a kalimba and I need your advice tips of guidance and also Africa has done it they actually made a newest instrument and it’s a kalimba and I’m going to have one to learn myself to play one from Geoff uk time

How I feel about the cello.

Did this instrument remind anyone else of Avatar the Last Airbender?
yeah, one of the themes, Avatar's Love, is played on it.
The Blackfish yea
You just made me tearbend..
@@najeyrifai1134 I came to this video from someone playing that song

Thank you for making them!
@@bluewinterstorm Devin had absolutely nothing to do with the Kalimba. Also, Africa is a continent, not a country.
You showed us non-musical talented folks there IS an instrument we can pick up and with minimal practice, PLAY, and it sounds NICE. Thank you!
Shouldn’t you start on the 17 prong karimba so that way when you get better you don’t have to buy a new one and you’ll have more options since you have more notes?
Yeah, same thing I was thinking.
and this is exactly why im getting a 17 one for my birthday! Uw

LOOTd that’s what makes your channel great 👍
Cool! I've been considering buying a Kalimba for a while now.
The website KalimbaMagic has a lot of really good information if you're interested. I just took the plunge and bought a Kalimba from amazon and they've really helped me. Heres a link: www.kalimbamagic.com/shop/for-kids-and-beginners
Did you get it?? I just got mine 2 weeks ago. I love it!
I would definitely recommend getting the 17-key one.
The kalimba's sound reminds me of music boxes I had when I was a little kid, the sound had this poetic tinge I can't explain, I think it's also used for mood setting when the griots go from village to village, during story time or when they recite proverbs.
I really want a kalimba.. i've been watching so many kalimba music videos for the past few years. They are so calming and soothing.
This was from 2 years ago so I must know.. did you ever get a kalimba?
"Come, sit in the circle!" *plays some tune* "the pixies are real!!"
Did he say "Odie to Joy?"
Yeah, you know, the Beethoven classic Odie to Joy. Definitely didn't miss mispronounce it, nope, not me...
You're funny as hell!

OMG I LEGIT JUST BOUGHT ONE AFTER THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH
I got my kalimba a month ago. I love it!!! I started with the 17 tine kalimba.
I love the sound of the Kalimba. It´s a really relaxing instrument and very easy to learn.
yeah i agree
My name is Lucas, I am a spider....
A typing spider

"The pixies are real"
This channel deserves more subscribers ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"The pixies are real!"
THANKS YOU AFRICA
The intro is brilliant
AFRICAN ? I thought it was asian because. Avatar the Airbender decieved me 😩
I purchased a Kalimba because of your video, I love it.
You can open and close the sound holes on the back with your fingers for a "wah-wah" effect.
Come, sit in the circle, The pixies are real!
it is a beautiful instrument
I’m always up for slaughtering instruments on film
Welcome to the club!
If someone is thinking about getting one, please go for a 17 key kalimba in C. You'll quickly learn how to play and 10 keys isn't enough for many songs.
what about 21 keys?
the way he threw the black card was awesome haha
i have a kalimba, and ever since i got it i wondered if one could modify it so that there are strings, would be interesting to try one day
LOOTd is my favourite series on TH-cam. I really like the musical instruments! Excellent rendition of Twinkle twinkle little star ⭐
This video made me buy my own Kalimba and I have to say thank you to you ! Now my yt channel is just about my progress on this beautiful instrument ♡
everytime i check this channel, this guy has a different haircut..
How come I haven’t heard of you! Just found you today! I’m surprised you don’t have a lot of subscribers!
Every time I hear this instrument I think of Avatar the Last Airbender
Shadow Runner I wonder why
It’s a fantastic instrument. It sounds so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Ah yes the "odey to joy", what a classic :)
Im so glad i found ur video 2 years ago, i now play the kalimba and i love it so much :DD
One look at this guy n I think relaxed
Wow never knew about this little box. I'll be giving it a try for Spring Break.
"When in doubt - punch a hole in yourself"
-George Carlin
I’m getting one of these and I can’t wait
Got a couple of these. Super fun and relaxing to play.
Is it hard to learn?
Nick Holgason not really
It’s actually pretty easy
Tessa 2007 Glad to hear that. Hahaha ty Tessa~
If you've never played an instrument before, it will be. But it's probably the easiest instrument I've learned. You can play really simply things that sound nice, and the way the instrument is designed, it's pretty hard to play things that sound awful.
It's okay on the violin/viola/cello the place the noise comes out is called the f hole
This plucking awesome video
Ohoho I see what you did there!
LOOTd please tell Ben to stop posting his comedy classes on Twitter
I'll pass on the message 👌
LOOTd much appreciated
Watch yo profanity
I’m gonna get one online , absolutely .
Good choice 👌
I just bought one about a month ago. Absolutely loving it. I got 17 tines, but honestly I think I'd enjoy 15 tines too. Smaller box, easier to hold?
You should get a trombone kazoo. I bought one a couple days ago and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had for 15 bucks
You're a genius!
LOOTd thanks man I’ve never been called that I’m going to brag about it for the rest of the day now.
I had a cheap one, first song I ever learned was the flinstones theme
The first time i watched this, i'm binge watching kalimbas videos. Now i have kalimbas!! 2 of it hihihi. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You deserve more Subs man! Keep this up!
Thanks a lot buddy :)

7 years ago I played the kalimba with a 36 prong kalimba and I can kinda relate
"Odee to joy"
Joey Jag yes the classic Beethoven hit Odee to joy
This instrument is like if texting was an instrument
You can play right after unboxing it, so lucky! I had to take time for tuning all my Kalimbas before I want to play any song
Oh hey I have one of these things at my house
when i get one of these i will always be on it n use it to make melodies for my beats cool instrument for beat producers
I've been wandering whether or not to buy a Kalimba next year.
Got mine from Amazon. Less than $30 usd including the shipping. Walmart.com also carries them. Some under $20
This video was the reason why I bought one.
I bought the kalimba because of this video
i will stay with this channel until the end good luck! on getting 1 million subs! :3
I had to buy one, for the price the instrument is a must buy
i'm a total noob when it comes to music and just recently got a 17 key kalimba and it's amazing... i don't see why you should start with a 10 key one though.
even the cheap ones sound amazing and you can play them while laying in bed :D
Couldn't help but think of mr. Scruff
I got a kalimba for Christmas in 2022.
You can hear it in the song Hush baby- - alex boye
Can you play kalimba de luna on it?
You sold me! How much do you want for that one?
I want one of these at some point to learn
"you intermediate players...I know you exsist"
I love the intro
careful ,Kalimba is addictive (do NOT attempt to play whilst driving your car!) I picked on up in around 1982 ,now I have 9 ,go electric now and then and have not yet graduated to Mbira! LOVE Shona music however
Love ur reviews!😍 I'm so excited to my kalimba❤️❤️
I think the Kalimba was used to make Minecraft songs 🤔
They used the Array Mbira. Which is basically a giant kalimba xD
Those are quite nice and surprisingly inexpensive!
First of your videos I've seen...love it! So funny and I'm pleased to hear the pixies are real 😊
AeStHeTiC InStRuMeNt
I need to get one of these
I’ve also heard it been called a thumb piano
I've actually been contemplating wether or not buying a kalimba
Hi! Great video, How did you get the darker colored one? Only the brighter brown is available on Amazon?
In the beginning of the video: "I'm gonna slaughtered this instrument"
Half way through the video: *playing it the way it's supposed to be played*
🤔
Hi it’s Geoff from England Uk and basically this is a nice intresting instrument and I’m going to need your advice tips to teach or learn to play a kalimba and I need your advice tips of guidance and also Africa has done it they actually made a newest instrument and it’s a kalimba and I’m going to have one to learn myself to play one from Geoff uk time
When I got the notification that you posted a new vid I squealed with excitement.
(That’s probably not healthy)
As much as we appreciate it, you're right, that's probably not healthy!
Can you review the bagpipes
With the sound
The second one sounds like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood! Lol
May not know that show in Britain?
Lolol the first kalimba you unboxed is the exact same as mine, niice
Which one fells better to touch, light wood, dark wood or they are the same?
mugig is a youtube channel btw
