Hi Mark! It´s a 30 year old Hugh Tracey Treble Kalimba, modified by myself. Order and tuning refer to an article written in "African Music" by Andrew Tracey describing the poular Kalimba tuning in Harare of the late 1960th. I just shifted the tuning to A major and applied some soft rattles. The keys (from left to right) are: g#*, c#, f#*, b, e*, a, a2*, C#, A d*, D, e*, E, f#*, F#, g#*, G#. All Characters in Capitals are one Octave lower, all keys marked with * are bend up in Sansula style.
WHAT. THE. HEAVEN. IS. THAT. BEAUTY??? I can't believe this comes from a kalimba, never thought you could pull that kind of melody out of it, it's so awesome, it makes me want to master my own kalimba! Thanks for sharing your amazing compo, sir. That will go straight into my favs!
If you decide to get one, you should check out the different tunings on it. The persian/middle eastern tunings are utterly gorgoues. You can put beads across the tines to get a nice buzz too! I was floored when I got it too at how much depth this instrunent has! There are the traditional african kind that sound more plucky and buzzy, and the ones in North America have a more soft, fairy tale sound to them. Even in that there is such variety, as you can get wooden ones with or without a front or rear sound holes, or acrylic ones that sound particularly soft and fairy tailish. It's really quite a beautiful musical world to explore :)
I will hear this hundreds of times as I come back to this. I am in awe, I'm moved, I'm inspired. Such a unique performance, and every one is beautifully in sync. I hope someday I can solo a tune that makes magic like this. I love his kalimba's sound.
This piece was so beautiful. I bought an catania 8-note kalimba at Goodwill a few weeks ago, and it's been life changing - music for the soul. I taught myself to play by plucking the keys during meditation. I "feel" the notes and I write them down. I was learning to play the guitar but the kalimba is so much easier and a little painful on the fingers.. (ouch!) but worth the callouses that will eventually develop. I love this instrument!
Hi Josh Burns! The Kalimba I am playing is a modified "Hugh Tracey treble Kalimba" with resonator. It is very common all over the world and you will get a new one for about € 120.- I modified my Kalimba and brought it to a a major tuning. Details about this you will find in my answer to the comment of "Kalimbamagic" one year ago.
Such a beautiful song. It elicited such an emotional response from me that I cried. The sounds take me away to a starry night where spirits of the past are dancing in the wind. Thank you for this!
Hi Conner, believe it or not I am Hugh Tracey's great grandchild and I love seeing vidoes of people playing the Kalimba because the sound is so beautiful and Claming I love this video 😁👍
I've built a Kalimba for my wife as a christmas gift, this will be the first video I show her on how awesome this tiny instrument is. Absolutely amazing.
I loved it!!!! 👩🏾⚖️ Who knew that such a small box instrument like the kalimba could play such beautiful music. I'm so glad that I to own such an instrument. Fantastic, loved it great music, well done. 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾😊
BRAVOooooo !!! insanı rahatlatan bir enstruman kaç tekrar izledim bilmiyorum gerçekten çok çokkk usta eller adamlar müziği ruhlarında hissediyor sanat bu ama diğer yandan dikkatimi çeken ise orada belki binlerce dinleyen insan var sanata ve sanatçıya o kadar saygılı o kadar sanatsal bir kitle ki icra edilen eser bitene kadar nefes almadan dinlediler ne bir ıslık çalan , ne alkış tutan , nede konuşan veya bağıran çıkmadı ve sonra dönüp kendimize baktım :) biz gerçekten sanattan anlamıyoruz anlamadığımız gibi ne sanata nede onu icra eden insanlara o sanatçı ruhlara zerre saygı duymuyoruz bilmiyorum ama bana göre bir yerde bir sanat icra ediliyorsa çok sevsen dahi bitene kadar alkışlama , eşlik etme kapat gözünü ruhunda hisset o müziği, o anı yaşa bozma büyüsünü bana göre sanatçıyı eseri icra esnasında alkışlamak sanki sevmekten değilde sabote etmek içinmiş gibi geliyor ıslık alkış eşlik bırakın da işinin ehli olanlar yapsın :) belki de ben sanattan anlamıyorum :))
That was amazing! I just recently bought a Kalimba, and I could play songs in A minor, C major, F major, D minor, G major and E minor. I couldn’t play like you did. That was terrific!
Is this your own composition?It is very beautiful.I loved the lady with the castanets, too,especially how she just rose up out of the shadows, at first.It complemented your playing like a hand in a glove.
That was amazing! I just read you comment where you explain the tuning: "I just shifted the tuning to A major and applied some soft rattles.

I don't own a kalimba but I tried to lay the tuning out on the piano but I'm afraid I don't get it... Am I missing something?
See, I actually play kalimba in a rock band. I use distortion, phasor, and echo to give it a distinct sound. Instead of 2 guitars, we have 1 guitar and kalimba for lead.
Finally somebody who knows how to play this thing! Respect.
Hey man!! Love your vids!! But yeah, this dude is MAD on the kalimba!!
Kalimba is beautiful, but it isn't extremely hard to learn :)

Incredibly beautiful ☺️❤️
Bought a kalimba today... The video just tickled my soul .. Thanks bother 👍🏻
Hi Eli, it is a 17 key original Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba- ab bit modified, obviously ;-)
connyverano07 It is so awesome and feel so joyful. Your play gets people very easy into the music and enjoy it.
Where can I buy one of these sir ?
so beautiful it is sir
@@magnified4827- I was just looking at them on Amazon. There are quite a few 17-key kalimbas under $30.00.
Such a beautiful song.
It elicited such an emotional response from me that I cried.
The sounds take me away to a starry night where spirits of the past are dancing in the wind.
Thank you for this!
This is my favourite Kalimba playing ever! I come to watch this from time to time since I first started playing Kalimba. It’s another level though! ❤️
This makes me feel like I'm wandering through a dimly lit aquarium. I love it so much.
I keep coming back to watch this. It is just so beautiful. Very good all of you. 😊
Wow never imagined a kalimba could sound like this!
just like water flowing smoothly
Extremely beautiful!!! Words can't describe the ecstasy that this tune has elevated me to.
So delightful and heart touching
You are a true genius Conny
This is a big punch both in my kalimba approach and... in the fingers of this musician! Huge respect.
Amazing, thanks for the Spirit of the Music, Your Art! 🙌🏽☯️
the Ludovico Einaudi of thumb pianos. So beautiful, gotta get me one
Never before have I heard of a kalimba, but I'm happy I stumbled upon this video.
So masterful. Memorizing all those notes is crazy hard, and to play it flawlessly is a whole nother story.
Very nice use of the kalimba. Taking a traditional Ugandan instrument and making it sing in a cool modern Western vibe--love it!
These are human beings at their best! Making beautiful music. Cooperating so that the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Bringing joy to others.
Seriously impressive, playing the kalimba so fast, and for so long in one sitting nonstop is an incredible feat
This is the kind of instrument you'd hear them play at a spa or massage place. So soothing
Thank you! Maybe the best 5 Minutes i spend on UA-cam so far :)
Oh my god, what a pleasure! Thanks for listening!
you obv havent seen roadman shaq mans not hot
This is so primal and beautiful for no reason.
Nice performance. Kalimba with castaneds is magical!
I always come back to watch this.
This is the TRUE essence of music.
와... 이런 악기들로 이렇게 멋진 연주가 만들어지다니 놀랍고 신기합니다.
I love it
Hi Conner, believe it or not I am Hugh Tracey's great grandchild and I love seeing vidoes of people playing the Kalimba because the sound is so beautiful and Claming I love this video 😁👍
💓Волшебное звучание калимбы! 💓 Прекрасное исполнение! Спасибо 💓
That was gorgeous! 😍🥰
Thank you!! 😊
Wow!!!! You are a treasure of a talent!!! I didn’t know the Kalimba could do that!!! STANDING OVATION!!!
Jamás pensé que se pudiese sacar ese sonido del kalimba! Maravilloso!
Whoaw Whoaw individually as well as the whole together .... ! Blew me away.
I think that was just the best 5 and a half minutes of my life
extremely beautiful song! i listened 10 times, and i isnt get tired!!!
omg I cant stop get myself out of the sound from those resonating metal bars
The whole performance is astonishing.
Thank you so much for sharing. Such a magic experience and amazing display of talent.
Прекрасное звучание! Прекрасный инструмент!❤
Increíble el sonido de la Kalimba y la persona que lo toca. Suena hermoso por qué creo la mecánica es parecida a la de una caja musical.
Just spellbinding. Incredibly beautiful.
Bravo, absolutely wonderful!
Grossartiges Beispiel dafür, dass man mit Musik Emotionen wecken kann. Die Kombi mit Palmas und Kastagnetten-perfekt.
Fabulous.
Can't understand how this has got 4 negatives. I can only assume those 4 people have no musical taste or appreciation whatsoever.
Beautiful. Thank you. So soothing not jarring.
I love to see the comments! To see them all as one mind, a collective human expression of love and appreciation.
A fine composition. Would like to hear it w/o other instruments.
I've built a Kalimba for my wife as a christmas gift, this will be the first video I show her on how awesome this tiny instrument is. Absolutely amazing.
Thanks a lot! I feel very honored!
beautiful playing man, you got into some shredding too, it was a pleasure to listen
I loved it!!!! 👩🏾⚖️

This instrument has the sound of freedom to it.❤😊
Really enjoyed his performance! :) especially because there aren't too many videos out there like this
I can't stop watching this
Wonderful. You play kalimba very well. I really liked this song and the beat, congratulations.
Un absoluto me gusta y tengo que suscribirme. Es precioso. Eres un maestro de los grandes. Gracias por este precioso regalo.
That was amazing! I just recently bought a Kalimba, and I could play songs in A minor, C major, F major, D minor, G major and E minor. I couldn’t play like you did. That was terrific!
This is my cowbell, I always need more.
Man i enjoyed myself here..great vibes here...nice playing.Kalimba Master.
Conheci esse instrumento na sexta-feira, 13 de Dezembro, aqui na Ilha Grande , me apaixonei! Comprei duas. Uma pra mim e outra pra filha.
This is so beautiful - thanks for sharing!
Amazing castanets as well!!
Какой потрясающий звук. Боже, это просто великолепно!
AWESOME. JUST AWESOME. RELAXING MUSIC AND BEAUTIFUL: love it too much
Is this your own composition?It is very beautiful.I loved the lady with the castanets, too,especially how she just rose up out of the shadows, at first.It complemented your playing like a hand in a glove.
a beautiful instrument, beautifully played. Well done, sir.
What a beautiful piece! Just lovely! I wonder if I could play kalimba since I can't play piano any more? I'll have to give it a try.
I need the tabs for this.This is beautiful!
Imagine this lika an OST of a game. Incredible!
Wow, so relaxing, love it. 🥰
Wow! Fascinating! Music for the soul!

I don't own a kalimba but I tried to lay the tuning out on the piano but I'm afraid I don't get it... Am I missing something?
Nossa, eu fiquei toda arrepiada com esse som.... Adorei, parabéns!!!
Finally, this instrument actually gets used!
That was ... beautiful !
I have never seen a kalimba being played on stage before. Cool video!
increible el solo de calimba....es escuchar estos sonidos y te olvidas del mundo....
who the hell dislike this video!!!
Me !
Why
cesar rios , it's a bit slow music. So one may dislike and part out without listening to the entire music being played.
Probably people who never played it and don't know how difficult is to achieve this level...
beautiful piece!
Grande ése señor
Y mis respetos para su talento musical
Thank spirit for inspiring beautiful music.
Hipnotising! Wonderful instrument!!!
UA-cam recommend me to watch this and I like it the sounds great and very beautiful.👏👏👏
