    At first when i heard you have a website that offers free lessons and recourses n stuff I didn’t believe it, but then I visited it and it’s true! This will be so much more accessible for people who can’t afford to pay a subscription. Thanks for teaching the world Kalimba lessons 👍✨

    This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. It’s good to learn the basics since I never did exercises, but just picked up the kalimba and plucked keys at random. I loved your videos back then and I sill love them today. You are an amazing person and thank you for sharing! >^.^

    Hi Sam, I love your video's! You've inspired me to want to learn how to play the kalimba. I'm waiting for my Kalimba to be delivered next week and I can't wait. I decided to buy the Hluru flat board 17 key kalimba. I tried the Lingting 17 flat board but the hard edges hurt my hands. I'm hoping the Hluru will be better for me. Thanks again, your sweet voice and easy way of explaining things is very helpful!!!!

      if it’s tuned to c major presumably you could also play songs in a minor (same notes) although you’re right that no sharps and flats makes it hard to play songs with incidental notes apologies for the lecture

    My moozica solid wood 17 key Kalimba ($44 from Amazon plus sales tax) arrived about 1 hour ago and following your tutorial, and using insTuner (it seems easier to use than PanoTuner) and the hammer I was able to tune it in about 30 minutes. I can tap out some tunes that I'll need to practice with using Metronome but it is nice to see the notes show up in tune while I play. This Kalimba came with a nice case, nicely finished solid wood, steel keys, a starter booklet, a hammer, a bag (guess the hammer isn't supposed to go in the case) and two of those thumb things you mentioned. THANKS!!!!!
