@@certifiedbruhmoment85 I almost got one too, but I just got my second full sized one like a month ago haha. still I might try to build one soon if I can figure out the tines
I got the same one gifted to me for my birthday, except under the metal protrusions it has a cat face etched into the wood. What a cute insturment in general.
This really makes me want to get an 8 tine kalimba. I really would have no excuse for leaving such a tiny instrument at home and then I’d practice more.
I came here after my friend got me one for my birthday yesterday, I played around with it and made my way to do the happy bday song, but this is totally on another level! Very clear instructions, I'll try this asap
I got an 8 key Kil about 2 months ago. I have played with it and love it but had no videos to show proper use. All ALL videos seen to be for the 17 keys. I needed to find a few for 8 key, and Bamn I found yours! Hot damn. 😃 Ps I'm 63 yrs old retired special ed teacher. I LOVE LOVE This. It's great to keep the brain active and restore small motor use to hands. Oh my my Thank you! You have no idea how this video is needed. 👋 M. Illinois. 🇺🇸
Ich hatte vor Jahren eine 8er Kalimba auf einem Flohmarkt gefunden und lange lag sie nur herum. Jetzt probiere ich doch mal wieder zu spielen. Danke für die nötigen Tabs 😊
omj thank you so much for making this, i have a 10 key kalimba and i’ve been having a slight struggle trying to find songs that don’t need more than 10 keys
Thanks. I just got one of these in the mail, but didn't have any music. I think Ode to Joy would be nice to play on one of these too. Thank you so much for posting this video.
I thought this was so cool that I literally just went and bought one off of Etsy although I already have a 17 key kalimba I really want to learn the eight
@@user-jg9zj9jt7w thank you 🙏. Even my birthday was on 24 th April but today I received.. May you get everything you wish for .. Stay blessed and belated Happy birthday ❤️
I was talking to my boyfriend about learning another instrument and he suggested a kalimba, so here I am. This will prolly be my next hyper fixation. But I have no idea where to begin
I think I need a better one :,) I tried a few of these and mine is out of tune and some notes make the same sound or none at all, it’s probably a rip off
Love this and the songs.. It nice yo see the note number as you are playing it. That is the one I was thinking of last year, but maybe a larger one still don't know which to get, wood or acrylic? Solid or hollow.thinking wood - hollow.
Hi, I just got a mini kalimba and had when I play mine I figured the keys are way closer together to each other than yours, did you made any adjustments to the keys to have some space between keys ?
I want to try the kalimba so i might buy this mini version and decide if i should get the 17 keys one :D Also funny story, I played the piano when i was younger but my fingers were short that i could barely do an octave 💀 Just wanted to put that out there because i remembered it...
I have bought one of the same, and no user instructions came with it, and have had nothing but trouble in trying to get the instruction book. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Hört sich echt toll an und sicher spielt es sich auch leicht oder? Ich bin auf der Suche nach so einem Gerät für einen 6 jährigen jungen, würde er das schaffen?
I have received such mini kalimba for my birthday. But the tongues are too close to each other, its hard to hit only one at a time. Is it possible to spread them by loosening the screws? I dont want to try it until i know its safe to loosen the screws. Thanks :)
Is that your nails making that clicking sound I am occasonally hearing? I bought a few different ones for my kids to try and hearing that made me wonder if my daughter might need to clip her thumb nails shorter. Not that it matters. A mannicure appointment and shorter style is a small price to pay for the joy of music. 😉

That Kalimba is very possibly the cutest thing i've ever seen !!
@@certifiedbruhmoment85 I almost got one too, but I just got my second full sized one like a month ago haha. still I might try to build one soon if I can figure out the tines
Cute sound too 🙂
Wait until you see my cat ☺
Until you hear my bird ...

I have one I said that before now I never really play it
It is too tiny to play with it!
Be careful though, it very small and hard to play.

About time I have something aesthetic on my feed. Can always count on you for that!
Excellent and I love how you showed the key notes as well fantastic thank you as I have 2 8tines kalimbas now I can follow on easily. Thaaaannk you.
You're welcome! I'm glad you could learn some songs with your little 8 key Kalimba!
We got the exact same Kalimba 🗿
Edit: it arrived and IT'S LITERALLY THE CUTEST THING EVER
Niceee ! I’m getting a bigger cat kalimba and maybe if I’m allowed imma get this one, also what is it called?
Nvm I found it
I just got one for my 66th birthday but want to wait two days on birthday to open it,so excited

These tiny ones are so much fun to play!
I just got this today for christmas and I am in love! My fingernails are really short so it kinda hurts, but I'll work on growing them out.
AAAA
SAME HERE-
The thing that sucks for me is that I have to keep mine short to play guitar XD
SAMME I got mine for Christmas and my finger nails are short but I play guitar
There are those thumb, thingies made of silicone that you can use to practise. Doesn't sound as great, but okay for practising

I wish I had a Kalimba, maybe if I get it on my Birthday :):
Man today only I got Kalimba as my birthday present BRB crying ❤️🥺
@@nazibakhan1648 I so happy for you TvT My birthday just went but didn’t get it :( I hope I get it soon :’)
@@user-jg9zj9jt7w thank you 🙏. Even my birthday was on 24 th April but today I received..
May you get everything you wish for .. Stay blessed and belated Happy birthday ❤️
there is a kalimba app!
@@cartootwist5597 I know but having a kalimba (physical) would be much better!
My mom is gonna get me one! Im so excited, i love music and i always wanted a small instrument, this ones perfect!
I just brought this and learnt happy birthday and the first Noel by ear haha it’s so fun x
Gotta pause it to get the notes but of course the pause screen covers the notes. Wonderful.
I'm definitely using this once I get an 8 key kalimba!
I love this, the sound and the quality is just amazing. Ur amazing!
Thank you so much! I always try to make the learning process enjoyable for people interested in learning the Kalimba :)
Also ur the reason I bought a kalimba
The kids going to love this ❤️
Bestie!
I'll try my best to post more :D
@@SamSalvador OMG YOU NOTICEDDD AHHHH
I just ordered my 8 key! I play a 17 key, but I’m planning on bringing the 8 key on a lanyard around with me :)
Oooo I recently got a 9 key kalimba made out of a coconut 😆 Time to try these songs hehe
I have a 17 key Kalimba and it’s so surprising how different they sound
Looks like it's kinda hard to be tuned😅
It's a snip compared to tuning a piano, just tap the keys in and out with a really small hammer and a punch. Shouldn't need to do it often though.
I JUST GOT ONE AND IM SO EXCITED TO PLAY
THESE ARE GREAT TYSM!!!! I typed them in the comments so it’s easier for me to learn lol
You inspire me. Thank you and a very merry Xmas to you!!!
Hi! Can you make a video showing all your 8 key Kalimbas? And could you put links please? I really want one I just don’t know the right one for me 🙂
I had a 17 note one but just bought the 8 note one. Any recommendations for a songbook specifically for 8 note one?
Thank you you! This is what I’ve been looking for!
Thanks for the Awesomenesssss......I just bought one of these minis and then discovered your channel hahahaha.....Fun Times ahead
Glad to see you're back!🥰
I was talking to my boyfriend about learning another instrument and he suggested a kalimba, so here I am. This will prolly be my next hyper fixation. But I have no idea where to begin
OMGG cutest thing I've seem this dayyyyyy!! I hope i can have my own too soon.. i don't have any money that's why HAHAHAHAAH sadt.
It’s so small and so cute!!
my kalimba is circular with only 7 keys and i haven't seen many with the same ones as mine
Waiting for mine to arrive, exciting!!
Where do you buy the music sheets?
I also just got mine! Thanks for this! I really love your channel! God Bless You!
Hi! i have the same kalimba as yours but mine sounds out of tune. Can you share is how to tune it? Thank you so much🤍🤍
This is rather interesting. Do you have a good source of one octave tunes?
Hey, wondering which exact tuning are you using? Just got my kalimba and it sounds completely different
Is it 8 note? I’m not sure it depends on how expensive it is
I have this exact kalimba and I am having the hardest time tuning it due to its size, tuning my big one is so much easier! Does anyone have any tips?
I think I need a better one :,) I tried a few of these and mine is out of tune and some notes make the same sound or none at all, it’s probably a rip off
I'm thinking of buying this one small Kalimba... So does it work like the big ones?
Mines being delivered today. Can't wait lol
hope you enjoy learning the kalimba :D
This kalimba is super cute
Can you please post a full version of concerning hobbits?
Can I ask if what is the difference of 8 keys kalimba in the normal size?
Love this and the songs.. It nice yo see the note number as you are playing it. That is the one I was thinking of last year, but maybe a larger one still don't know which to get, wood or acrylic? Solid or hollow.thinking wood - hollow.
Simply beautiful & outstanding
I've gotta get one of these!!
Suena como triste canción de amor de el TRI 🤘🏻🇲🇽
Notes for tuning comparison:
0:30 1•
0:31 7 6
0:33 5 4
0:38 3

0:47 1
question I was thinking of getting one for my daughter. but she's little. do you think her thumbs can do it?
On my Kalimba 3 and 4 sound the same I don't know why? Also I love the hobbit song at the end I want to learn that one! 😍
Hi, I just got a mini kalimba and had when I play mine I figured the keys are way closer together to each other than yours, did you made any adjustments to the keys to have some space between keys ?
CAN YOU DO A TUTORIAL FOR THE SONG, " MY SILVER LINING" BY FIRST AID KIT?
Is Misty Mountains Cold playable on an 8 tab kalimba? If so, can you show us how?
I love that one its so cute and where did you get that its so cute
I want to try the kalimba so i might buy this mini version and decide if i should get the 17 keys one :D
Also funny story, I played the piano when i was younger but my fingers were short that i could barely do an octave 💀 Just wanted to put that out there because i remembered it...
That type is good for small fingered people like me :)
I have bought one of the same, and no user instructions came with it, and have had nothing but trouble in trying to get the instruction book. Does anyone know where I can get one?
I got one today and wanted to learn something. Thanks!
I think my hands are a little to big tho
Hört sich echt toll an und sicher spielt es sich auch leicht oder? Ich bin auf der Suche nach so einem Gerät für einen 6 jährigen jungen, würde er das schaffen?
The Kalimba like the banjo, talking drum and marimba are instruments that have origins in Africa that have made it to the United States.
I’m new to the Kalimba and I’m wondering what notes are the metal keys tuned to?
Is there a book on how to play this little instrument?
I just got my 17 key kalimba and I'm wondering can this be played on on 8 keyvkalimba???
i have taked one, and dont how to play. thanks for training.
So soothing love it 🌸
Help me ols :( i have 8key kalimba but i dont have B and F.. What should i play insted of..?
got one today first songs i’ve learned
congrats! I hope you get to learn more songs and enjoy your kalimba! :)
Thank you.🍃
I just got mine today & no music sheet ? Hope I can learn something
I just got one.They really hurt my fingers though lol
You should grow your thumbnails, it’ll make it easier to play
@@miche_rulesss Thanks!
I have received such mini kalimba for my birthday. But the tongues are too close to each other, its hard to hit only one at a time. Is it possible to spread them by loosening the screws? I dont want to try it until i know its safe to loosen the screws. Thanks :)
You can spread them yes!
How do the numbers work on it though? Why aren’t they ordered- how does that work
What does 1 with the dot on the top means?
Cute 🥺🥺🥺
Would this be a good choice for a kalimba beginner?
I have that same one! Nice
Thank you!
Thank You 🥰
received mine, tested it with these notes and its out of tune..and it didn't come with a tuning hammer, is there a way to tune without it?
You need to hit it with the edge of your nail to make it sound like that
Boa noite. Como afinar kalimba de 8 notas??????
Adorable ❤😊
Also u can do backyard boy just a bit tho 😋
Is that your nails making that clicking sound I am occasonally hearing? I bought a few different ones for my kids to try and hearing that made me wonder if my daughter might need to clip her thumb nails shorter. Not that it matters. A mannicure appointment and shorter style is a small price to pay for the joy of music. 😉
I got the clear egg one 😎
ITS SO SMAAAAALLLLLLLL 😍😍😍😍
I have the exact same one
I have a violin and a ukelele and I guess that I'm gonna buy a kalimba😈
You’re incredible :)
Ang cuteeeeee
I really want a Kalimba but should I buy an 8 key or a 17 key?
thank you!!
