    You have no idea how much you helped me. I finally bought a kalimba earlier this month after being back and forth to buy or not. Because my hearing isn't great I've put off learning a musical instrument for the majority of my life. After hearing a cover of Leaves on the vine I decidee just to do it. Since I've ordered the kalimba, I've been wondering how on earth I'd tune it. This video poppes up when I looked for ht tune a kalimba. Thank you so much and a big greatful hug from the UK. (>^_^)>

    i just got my kalimba and some of my keys look a little crooked and don’t sound right at all. like barely any sound is produced on the keys near the outside. i’m not sure if it was damaged beyond repair during shipping or what.. 😢

    Strange thing. I use the same app and listening to your video it does not match on my app when you are tuning yours. So your tuning app says something and mine shows something else while listening to your video. Shouldn’t it show the?

      it means that your kalimba tine is too low! Hammer your kalimba from the bottom upwards so it will get to C tone.

    • @KaliTheNomad
      @KaliTheNomad  3 роки тому

      It simply means that your kalimba is totally out of tune and is lower than the expected tone.
