Take a look at my latest tutorial in this 'How To Play Kalimba' series where I teach you about Kalimba playing techniques! ua-cam.com/video/TEi74uSWOww/v-deo.html
Don’t forget Violin: Slow tedious tuning on small pegs and if you can’t tune it with the small ones you have to yank at the big pegs and risk snapping the entire string :>
This made me chuckle. Also, a little tip to get cleaner notes are to use a proper vibration tuner. I'm a guitarist so I just use my guitar tuner because I'm obsessed with accuracy
스테파니 Stephanie 조셉 Hey that’s awesome! I already have quite a bit of musical experience so this is just something to calm the nerves and be soothing during this quarantine period. I’m very excited to receive it!
yeah if you use them you wont build up them calluses. When I first stated playing the uke I would bleed and it would be so painful, after a month or two it completely stopped bothering me since I got calluses.
@@emilie2667 lol I figured that was the case. It's kinda funny how I never had that probably cause I would play until my fingers were numb, but they never ended up bleeding. They were pretty sore though XD.
When I brought my kalimba I thought it was already tuned, but now that I found your video and downloaded the app... I was completely wrong lol. Thank you, now the sound is really better
I always wanted to learn to play the piano, but now that I've discovered the kalimba, that's my new obsession. The best thing about kalimbas (is that the plural) in my opinion is that they sound pretty even when you're just playing random notes.
Yeah i really like piano before i discovered kalimba and i can't afford a piano class as i have to attend my tuition class and then i discovered kalimba and boom! Fall in love with it!
I really want to buy and play the Kalimba buT I have no idea what the notes are and I know nothing about music language 😭😭I jus want to play this beautiful instrument
Hey there! In my opinion, the Kalimba is great for people who are completely new to music. Any music will be confusing and scary to any newcomer, but if you do your research and practise a lot then skill will definitely come. Try watching my 'How To Play Kalimba' series for a bit of guidance and if you have any questions at all then feel free to ask me :)
KalimbaCam I have a question, is there specific care for the wood when you have a kalimba? Because I heard about splitting of the wood or something from somewhere
@@ranger4758 nah just make sure it doesn't get too dry. You should always humidify any wood instrument. If you want,.go to any music store and ask them for one and just keep it in a sealed bag. Cheers
Honestly, thank you for this. I’ve been wanting to play an instrument and I specifically chose this one cause of the beautiful sounds it makes. Mine is arriving Tuesday. :)
I'm currently looking for a new hobby and I like the idea of learning to play the kalimba. However, I'm dyspraxic ( two sides of brain aren't always in sync) I can't read music notes and I could write on postage stamp all I know about musical instruments. Am I foolish to think I can learn one?
@@welcometogreenaquasglen1846 hey there. I'm more than sure that you could still learn to play the Kalimba. You can definitely learn to play songs without having to read music. In fact, I learned a lot of the songs I play by listening to a tune and copying it on the Kalimba. You could try that! Best of luck :)
Great tutorial. Im receiving my kalimba today and cant wait to play it! I've, for sure, subscribed.😃 BTW..you sound just like the guy in the Headspace app😊
@@terezatomaskova3855 here's a nice place to start from www.kalimbamagic.com/blog/tag/Free%20Tablature and there's loads of video's on UA-cam on it, so find a Kalimba song you like on UA-cam and play it on the slowest speed so you can follow what they're doing.
So btw my mom and dad are mad because i cant play any music instrument but, i decided to learn new music instrument (kalimba) and of course my parent are happy becuz i can play my first music instrument ( kalimba )😊😊😊😊
Piano: “you should finish learning the song” Guitar: “you should pick a song to play next” Kalimba: *”WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU-“* Ps. I don’t even have a kalimba. Edit: it looks like i’m going to buy one, sorry piano sorry guitar you just became friends but i just-
My daughter ordered like this..I don't have any idea what it is kalimba the. I search in yt wow its just amazing so I decided also to buy one for me..I want rk learn I follow you sir so that I could get info about kalimba...
Thanks for sharing this. Just got my kalimba from SLINT on Amazon and I've been trying to learn the basics so this vid is really helpful. More power to you!
My mother is buying me one so I started learning songs on an app and I’m really excited so I’m watching a bunch of videos and this helped me know what to do! Thank you
So informative! I just bought Kalimba today bc its one of my dream, Im just playing it at my phone (app kalimba) but now, im holding it and watching this. Thanks so much!
So I bought a kalimba and a small desk, I unpacked both at the same time, thought the hammer definitely came with the desk (since I had to set it up). Played this video later that day, then it all made sense lol
Hey there. It is definitely not hard at all to maintain a Kalimba. I suggest to start off by purchasing a cheaper Kalimba to see how you like it at first and then go from there. Let me know if you have any more questions :)
I want a lo-fi song using a Kalimba, a harp, a ukulele, a cello, a xylophone, and a keyboard. And in the same album another song written with a kazoo, an otametone, a didgeridoo, and bagpipes.
Me: Looking up How To Play a Piano UA-cam: How To Play Kalimba - Tuning, Technique and Practice Scales Me: Amazon I just Got a Kalimba This Video Was Super Helpful Thanks!
I wanted to play piano. So I bought a cheap Casio. The keys were hard and sound was worse than free apps on Android. But I most important thing is, I never get the feeling of playing an instrument. It would play same recorded sound to my hard press and soft press. Then I bought kalimba and loved it since day one. I had no problem with keys being opposite side of each other. And it gave me feeling like playing a real instrument.
so, its great way to practice and at least memorize songs when you get kalimba one day. i use app called Real Kalimba on phone and i memorized few songs and can play them at like 0.75 speed. im gonna buy kalimba in summer and its better than not having previous experience at all. plus you hold phone and play with thumbs just like real kalimba, so its great simulation
I just got my kalimba today and I'm here to tell you that plucking the tines just right is a lot trickier than I thought. If you've been using a kalimba app to learn and dip your toes in, wonderful! But you are definitely in for a surprise.
I don’t know why I’m here, I don’t have a kalimba, i should be trying to fix my guitar string that popped because it was old and not working, i think I’m having a life crisis
VERY helpful, YOU made it look so easy breezy, though it's not! Lol! Thx for taking the time showing us peeps the "how's, Etc"; much appreciated it in full!☺❤
Guardin sampled him playing a kalimba in Kinda Sorta so now I wanna get one to sample it in my songs. Also it’s better to tune by ear imo if you want to get more into music because it will help you practice your ear training. I have a really bad ear
Are you going to suggest a few simple songs to learn using c major scale? I bought two of the same brand. Want to give one to granddaughter. I’m hoping she and I can play a song together. They are very beautiful. I’m glad I found you.
Hi there. I recommend learning 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. It is a easy yet recognisable song that is great for C Major. I have already made a tutorial on it, here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/pgzuHmdIQ2M/v-deo.html . Hope it goes well :)
Take a look at my latest tutorial in this 'How To Play Kalimba' series where I teach you about Kalimba playing techniques! ua-cam.com/video/TEi74uSWOww/v-deo.html
Piano tuning: complicated and time consuming
Guitar tuning: peg winder things
Kalimba: *HAMMER*
Lmao I laughed so hard at this
I have to learn playing kalimba and I'll get a full pack xd
Don’t forget
Violin: Slow tedious tuning on small pegs and if you can’t tune it with the small ones you have to yank at the big pegs and risk snapping the entire string :>

What the fuck you have to turn a piano
I have an upcoming exam and i don't even own a kalimba, WHAT AM I DOING HERE??
Procrastinating

Haaha same here. I don't have a kalimba nor have any plans to buy one. I guess i just wanna know how this thing works.
Same here. My exams starts day after tomorrow and here I am 😂

I don't even have a kalimba. I always watch tutorials and help videos for things I don't even own.
Why? I do not know.
That's because you're a dolphin with no brain! 😂😂😂
@@louistrentdarby9248 I know that's a joke but actually, dolphins are one of the smartest animals.
Ur not alone i have been watching how to feed tigers and now im here like what am i doing at this point
Yt probably thinks I'm insane by the amount of how to vids I watch if they think I own whatever the how to thing is about
In case you get one
Who else doesn't even have a kalimba but has been watching kalimba videos lately? lol
스테파니 Stephanie 조셉 I’ll have one soon 😊

스테파니 Stephanie 조셉 Hey that’s awesome! I already have quite a bit of musical experience so this is just something to calm the nerves and be soothing during this quarantine period. I’m very excited to receive it!
I started to buy kalimba after watching kalimba videos hahah
I did that too, but I ordered one and it arrived yesterday. now it would make more sense for me to watch the videos 😂
Don’t need no rubber picks, Get them calluses up
😎
yeah if you use them you wont build up them calluses. When I first stated playing the uke I would bleed and it would be so painful, after a month or two it completely stopped bothering me since I got calluses.
@@emilie2667 I never had my fingers bleed. I've been playing for about a year or two, although I did play a little bit of guitar before I mine.
TurTleguy123r I never played an instrument before and played constantly for the first 2 weeks. It was pretty painful for me 😂
@@emilie2667 lol I figured that was the case. It's kinda funny how I never had that probably cause I would play until my fingers were numb, but they never ended up bleeding. They were pretty sore though XD.
I just watched a video of game of thrones theme played on a kalimba, now I want one 😭
couldn't relate more
Same here brother ..
Same lol
Lol, same here.
Same!
I don't have a kalimba but i have a kalimba app and that is a really good practice so if you want to buy a kalimba you already know how to play it
hi what's the name of the app? ☺
Just search kalimba😊
Thanks for the great idea! I’ll have to try that!
Yeah me too! I install the app and learn from it ;D
It seems on magazin play there is not any app called kalimba
When I brought my kalimba I thought it was already tuned, but now that I found your video and downloaded the app... I was completely wrong lol. Thank you, now the sound is really better
Glad that I helped you out :))

I received my kalimba few days ago and had no idea how to use it! This video was super helpful especially when it came to the tuning lol
That's great to hear :)
There's one of these on display at one of my local museums that you can play. Now I know how to play it.
Maurice White of Earth wind & fire played this instrument a lot. I was just playing one of their albums and I always wondered how it was played.
My boyfriend just bought me one, I didn’t even know it was an instrument! Thanks!
My kalimba arrived today n i love it.
Thanks for making this video. I have had a Kalimba for about a year and never knew how to tune it correctly.
My kalimba should be coming tomorrow in the mail and I’m so excited!! I need to know everything even before it comes!
Great tutorial! Thanks for making this video. I have had a Kalimba for about 2 years. Now I can play up 11 songs including Maroon 5.🎶🎼🎵😊
So glad the video helped you! All the best with your Kalimba playing.
Piano: “you should finish learning the song”
Guitar: “you should pick a song to play next”

It's fun seeing how many people are adding on to my post with ME TOO! How fun. Now, if we can just learn to play them!
Very very helpful and i thank you
I may be getting a kalimba soon so this helps greatly
I'm looking for a new hobby, and I'm starting to interested in kalimba. But is it hard to maintain a kalimba?
Hey there. It is definitely not hard at all to maintain a Kalimba. I suggest to start off by purchasing a cheaper Kalimba to see how you like it at first and then go from there. Let me know if you have any more questions :)
I want a lo-fi song using a Kalimba, a harp, a ukulele, a cello, a xylophone, and a keyboard.
And in the same album another song written with a kazoo, an otametone, a didgeridoo, and bagpipes.
Aw cute
For warmup?
I got my kalimba yesterday for my birthday. And I only know it from one video on Facebook.
I'm not saying I don't care about it. I love it.
I ordered the same kalimba as yours! I've subscribed, and watch your vids! You should definitely get more subs.
Awesome! Thanks so much 👊
This is helpful for me, I just have my Kalimba and I'm learning on how to use it. And that metal pick, I thought ot was use to play kalimba
I just bought the same kalimba!! I feel like I did a good choice
I wanted to learn about kalimba, but I ended up admiring your hands. 😂
My kitten Bruce loves the sound so now I want to learn to play music for him ❤️
im getting my first kalimba soon i cant wait!!
I purchased a kalimba for Christmas and this should help.

Me a few months back
thank you! Today i just got a kalimba today and I love it soo much :)
I've been using that same tuning app for years. DaTuner I think? Has always worked well for me.
Me: *watching kalimba tutorial*
Also me: *only uses kalimba app*
so, its great way to practice and at least memorize songs when you get kalimba one day.
i use app called Real Kalimba on phone and i memorized few songs and can play them at like 0.75 speed.
im gonna buy kalimba in summer and its better than not having previous experience at all.
plus you hold phone and play with thumbs just like real kalimba, so its great simulation
I just got my kalimba today and I'm here to tell you that plucking the tines just right is a lot trickier than I thought. If you've been using a kalimba app to learn and dip your toes in, wonderful! But you are definitely in for a surprise.
Is it too hard?

Well I definitely recommend giving it a go! Since you already learn guitar and ukulele, the Kalimba should come quite naturally.
This was soo helpful thank youuu
Now I know what the hammer is for!
Guardin sampled him playing a kalimba in Kinda Sorta so now I wanna get one to sample it in my songs. Also it’s better to tune by ear imo if you want to get more into music because it will help you practice your ear training. I have a really bad ear
Very useful viduo, i learned so many things including toning, thank u
man ive been wanting a kalimba to play my favorite video game themes ... and ghibli... lots of ghibli lol
