    I just pushed the metal keys with my thumb sleeves, it's way easier than hammering them. Thank you for the video!

    Where did you get the information for the hertz? How did you know what each note frequency should be? Thanks for this!

      you're most welcome! i researched a few pythagorean frequency tables online to make sure it's correct for A=432 Hz as base. cheers!

      432hz is a heaking frequency whereas the frequency that most instruments are tuned at nowadays is the 440hz which is exactly the opposite. It is not a frequency that is in harmony with nature. And it is designed to make and keep us sick. Music affects our bodies and this is something they do not teach in school. Wondering why? Because we are controlled by parasites who love power and control and want to depopulate the world. Look up the truth about 432 hz frequency and 440hz frequency and you will find quite a few interesting articles that explains it better. Hope this helps

      He's using Pythagorean tuning, a system of intonation where major thirds are discordant ratio of 81/64 instead of 5/4 (the traditionally preferred ratio).

    The Karimba opened up the Greek modes to me more than any instrument has before. I’m pleasantly surprised against my insultingly simple assumptions of the instrument.

      There's nothing "cosmically aligned" about a 7 note Pythagorean tuning. It's just a crappy tuning system that gives you discordant thirds meanwhile not actually doing anything significant to improve the intonation of the perfect fifth

    "Cosmically aligned"
    "determined by Pythagoras"
    Pythagoras had nothing to do with 432Hz
    There's more imperfection in the overtones of those tines than you would ever see in any temperament
    If you want a "good" tuning system, consider tuning it to meantone tuning, not Pythagorean tuning, and forget the reference pitch - that's irrelevant
