Keep an eye out, I intend to upload some videos comparing this kalimba to my others, as well as some songs!
I got my Chill Angels Eco 34 kalimba yesterday. Let me tell you. This is a fantastic kalimba. Everything you say about this kalimba is spot on. Can't wait to learn some songs on it. Good job chill angels for a fantastic product!
Sound so good 🥺 please do more cover with this
Thank you! I am working on a song
Wow, another chromatic kalimba! 🤩 Thank you for the unboxing and review video, plus the links ☺💙
Most welcome! Yes! This one is amazing and the maker is super supportive... there are plans for the future to support her clients in learning. I can’t say enough good things about her or this Kalimba.
thanks for the review! i noticed you tagged the location as Canada. how much was shipping + how long did it take to arrive in Canada?
I have never heard of this brand before today. May I ask which one this one is exactly? Thank you for posting this. I hope to hear you play this to get a better idea of the sound.
It's the Chill Angels 36 key chromatic kalimba (by Chill Angels)
Great review! Thank you! This kalimba sounds beautiful. Really want to try one in future. For now, mostly sticked to the double-sided chromatic.
Jayde! This is a Very beautiful Kalimba ❤️❤️❤️ I'm glad so Seren went ahead and made the site to sell this, it's a bit pricey for me, I would buy this in a heartbeat if I had the money, but would love to review it someday, you did a great review 😊
Aww thank you! Yes she has done an amazing job of everything, impressively so! It is a bit pricey for sure but for me an investment because it is so well made it should hold up well :) plus chromatic opens up a whole new world of things to play!
It looks and sounds great! Thank you for your review. How are the top tines arranged? I was thinking C# on top of C, D# on top of D and so on but then what about B and E? 😝 Is it a different scale other than C major?
It is c major :) they are not stacked in a way that has c# over cd but the arrangement is quite natural :) Chill Angels can answer all kinds of questions like that, you should reach out to her :) she is wonderfully helpful.
@@jjt8n551 thank you!!
i clicked in the web chill angels and they said they're opening soon and no more information :(( i don't know what's wrong
I believe she is just making some changes to her shop, keep checking the link or enter your email in the box and it will probably notify you when she goes live again :)
waaaah I wanna try this but can't afford 😌 please do cover on that Kalimba ♥️
I plan to do very soon ( probably over Christmas break) :)
It looks like the sharps/flats bank of keys would get in the way of tuning the naturals. Is this a problem?
Great question, and no... you use a hammer on top and pliers on the bottom :D
@@jjt8n551 Thanks for the reply, that's kind of what I thought.
I just bought a
Mugen. Im a beginner but have a band director wife so itll be fun.
Oooh enjoy! It is fun to learn.
Omg it is soo cool!
It really is! I played on it a lot today and am getting used to having sharps and flats! It sounds amazing! (Thanks for subscribing)
@@jjt8n551 and you got more keys to remember too. Sooo cool! I can't wait to listen to your cover using chromatic kalimba 🤩

Your 36 keys kalimba is good too . You can practice super Mario too .💪💪💪🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yes! Your fingers are very fast! I’ve got my eye on you now! :)
Did this really cost $577 USD :o
(Thank you for clarifying how you meant this question, I can get a bit defensive because so many undervalue the work of makers and I will always defend them and their time/skill :) I accidentally deleted your comment and cannot restore it (sigh))
I paid what the maker is asking and here is why.
1. Countless hours (keep in mind she has a family so her time is of great value, as well as the fact she is a professional working hard at the same time!) of her time spent learning about the instrument and what makes it special to us
2. Countless hours of her time spent testing designs to find out how to make it the very best she can, for us
3. Countless hours of creating/designing/building a first prototype to test
4. Expense of creating a first prototype to learn from (materials)
5. Countless hours testing said prototype
6. Countless hours refining prototype, for us
7. Expense of purchasing any needed materials to change issues she caught with her expert testing
8. Countless hours rebuilding/testing/creating/tweaking
9. Expense and time creating a website, marketing materials, a music book/notebook for the kalimba since she cannot just recycle the same ol' 17 key kalimba notebooks that all of the mass produced cheaper ones do
10. Time and Expense of sourcing couriers, dealing with banks, dealing with customers (customers alone suck hours and hours of her time responding to questions).
This, this is her Job and she does it with energy and thought toward OUR experience because it is her passion.
For me? I am going to support the maker because of the 10 points listed above and the millions I have forgotten.
For me? I am going to support the maker because she is an amazing, smart, talented, lovely human being and I believe that value in the world is so much more than spending a bit more money to have a gorgeous, professional grade, well made, no dead tines, kalimba that is supported by a maker/artist/human that is amazing.
There are certainly more affordable kalimbas out there, and I own plenty of those too. This one is special though
Apologies I just accidentally removed your comment when I went to reply on my tiny screen.
@@jjt8n551 no worries. Thank you so much for your channel and the work you do. In my comments, I will be sure to add context to my curiosity, so that terseness doesn't come across the wrong way. I definitely should have done so here. Again my apologies.
@@cyanos3 me too, glad we came together :) the kalimba community is lovely. Welcome! What got you started? Do you own a Kalimba? :)
@@jjt8n551 as I'm just starting out, I picked up a 17 key and have a 34 key chromatic on the way. Time will tell whether I stick with it or if it's just a phase. All I know is this instrument produces such beautiful music. I'm just so enamored by its tone and simplicity. This lovely instrument you reviewed in this video is definitely something for me to aspire to. My sincere and heartfelt congratulations to you for owning it! I'm sure it's a treasured addition. I look forward to more videos!
Is this kalimba hollow or is it solid?
This is a solid Kalimba :)
(She also sells box style)
Why so costly ? 6 times more costly than a 24 key chromatic kalimba.......
That is something you should ask the seller not the buyer, I do not make the price or decide why it had been priced this way. I link to her information so you can contact her. As a buyer I make the decision if I believe it has that value, which I do. It is a beautifully made, high quality, professional grade instrument. It is not mass produced. It is supported by the maker (who is a beautiful human). Therefore to me the value is high and I wish to own this kalimba and to support this maker. :).
