5-Note Chordal Kalimba Choirs
Вставка

- The 5-Note Kalimbas can be tuned to any chord, and when played in turn, a group of children can improvise melodies around an arpeggiated chord progression. They are also great fun for adults, and a great way to learn about chords and chord progressions. Brought to you by Hokema, the same people who make the Sansula. Available at www.kalimbamagi...
Dude you are a kalimba maniac!!! So much talent. House of the rising sun is only one of the best songs in the world and never thought to hear from kalimbas.
My hope is that this can become a common tool in music classrooms - put three of them in three different people's hands and just take turns to make a chord progression.

That sure is some very talented kids.
Someone,
You can walk, can you? Walking is something you learned over many months, and perfected over several years, and is mainly about putting your limbs, one after the other, in the right place at the right time. I assert that you can do that in much less time with a kalimba. The thing about these kalimbas is that all five of the tines are tuned to a certain chord, and it matters not if you play 1 3 5 3 1 or 5 4 3 2 1 or 1 2 3 4 5 or 5 5 3 3 5. Would you be interested in trying one?
Please explain yourself. Do I humiliate you?
I myself love to play on these, and love even more to get a group to play on these, sort of like a bell choir but much easier to direct. Anyway, I just pulled out a set of 8 of these at our family reunion and we did Pacholbel's Canon with musicians ages 7 through 80 with no rehearsal, and I think we all made our own joy at that time.

With my total lack of musical talent, I find this really humilliating roflmao
Just beautiful. I think i have discovered my next instrument.
And transform your neighborhood into a lullaby...
Look at - 0:36 - compare the TOP ENDS of the kalimba tines on the F and C7 chordal kalimbas - the F is pretty much straight across, and the C7 tine ends are not...because they have been pushed in to make the vibrating length of the tine shorter, to make a higher note (the low note on the C7 is a G, a whole step up from the low note of F on the F kalimba).

a beautiful sound has reached my ears
Just wrecked my thumbs on this .so addictive. Brings back memories of beautiful Aferika
When you explained how kids can play the Kalimba together. It kind of reminds me of kids playing multiplayer on a Gameboy. =P
Wait! Yeah! Great idea! Replace those kids gameboys with these Kalimbas! They have the same shape, they won't know the difference!
BTW, This is really innovative! Good job! =D
im really interested on learning to play kalimba. I've been wanting to get closer to music by playing and instrument for years but never have seen one that looks that simple and beautyful at the same time. First time i heard a Sansula and i though that was the sound of my thoughts. I really wanna get one and learn.
and that song was amazing¡¡
This is an EXCELLENT learning tool for those who can't pick up on the concept of chord progression. Great video!
This is the one I have! I would love to learn some christmas music on it! haha
Really good work love your videos. Its so peaceful to listen to this music. Keep up the good work!
Actually, I SELL these kalimbas - I retuned them for a Music Educator's conference, and will also take them to a Music Therapy conference. SO, they are not really mine, just waiting to belong to someone else.
Dude you are the best, you are the reason I fell in love with this instrument with your First Look Inside video (I will definitely be getting that kalimba one day) and then to hear and watch you play house of the rising sun just makes it so much better.
@MsChristianv8 El sitio web Kalimbamagic vende "resorte de acero" - la búsqueda de "spring steel".
This is a nice idea for playful music education in the kindergarden - great!
"The House of the Rising Sun"
@MrMoldano Thanks! They are all improvisations based on the chords available on the different kalimbas - except for "House of the Rising Sun" at the end.
Love this arrangement Mark they are so cute, I’m not a kid and would want one. Pretty soon I’ll have at least one of each thing you post. Lol
**billy making a kalimba video**
BILLY WHERES MY PHONE?!!!!
We have those in my workplace, I like them really much :)
totally awesome!
I love this great job!! you're very talented!
Привет из России. Это видео очень старое, я смотрю его в 2023 году и мне нравится. Автор большой молодец!
Dang, I want to get allllll the Kalimbas on your site lol
My price is $50 for one, and if you purchase in sets, they are less expensive fer each. For 50 Euro, perhaps you are thinking of the 9-Note Pocket Sansula?
-Mark
Ah, these ones should be in tune. They come from Germany tuned all to F minor (ha!). Yes, well, there aren't very many things you can do with just 5 notes. I suggest a pentatonic tuning. With 6 notes on a pentatonic scale, there are a lot of African American Spirituals and such you can play (will send you a link) - Mark
Hey, that was beautiful!
The instruments are great.
Thanks Kalimbamagic!
A lot of African guitar music is based on kalimba - so there are more connections to be made!
You have a beautiful voice. :)
Donde consigo los flejes de metal????
Warum nur F moll? Weil F Moll ganz alleine, mit keinen anderen Töne, einfach Hammer ist! voll interessant (:
After a quick scan of the home site. i was unable to find these, PLEASE could you send a link to these specifically I would love to get a few
jear i love this song^^
Did you pay for all the kalimbas? O.o
in Germany the are realy eypensive :/
@kalimbamagic aahhh okay^^ what price is such an kalimba in USA? here in Germany it costs sometimes 50 Euro or more :/
House of the rising sun! AWESOME
very good
hey guys, i want to play "i cant help falling in love" with kalimba. which key kalimba i need to get for better sound?
NVM i didn't know there were sub lists, i found it, ordering some now will post vids
Just wondering are there some instructions out there that can help us with tuning them in the different keys or is there a book with the cords set up to play different sounds on each. Cause it’s Greek to me Mark
Karen - When someone purchases a set, I ask them what they want to do with the set... sometimes they have chords and a key already.. sometimes I have to come up with that. I tune to the chords as required. There isn't a book for that, but I do rely on past experience, and I'm good at "winging it" to come up with a good voicing for a particular chord (for example, if you have a D chord, you can't actually get down to D for the low note, so you end up having F# (the 3rd) or A (the 5th) in the low tine). When I ship, I make up a two page document that has the CHORDAL KALIMBA TUNINGS on one side (between 3 and 6 kalimbas), plus the suggestion that these kalimbas be played IN TURN so as to create arpeggiated melodies following a chord progression. On the back side is a list of about 20 different chord progressions that work for the particular chords you are getting --- like: ||: C | G | Am | F | C | G | F | C :|| (4 chords, the verse to "Let It Be") or ||: Am | G | F | G :|| (3 chords, "All Along the Watchtower").
This is a unique service - I don't anyone in the world who does this. I guess the "grand instructions" live in my head, and I share as required.
Very nice!
Does more notes mean better? I have the option to get 5, 9 or 11 note versions for relatively same price... Please help!
PS.: I sued to paly piano a lot, will it help me with gaining skill with kalimba?
More notes mean you can play a wider range of songs.
Awesome
Very cool....
Excelente, som mágico!
how did you make those kalimbas?? :000
how did u tune it?
dumb question, but what's the name of that song you sing?
it's very cool!
kalimbamagic how can i tune a kalimba into a different key?
Well --- I have created a lot of resources on line that can help you - but you need to help yourself by Googling "How Can I Tune A Kalimba into A Different Key".
WOW 0 DISLIKES :DDD WONDERFULL VIDEO!!!!
amazing :D
awesome :)
hi , Mark ,I send email for you ,but no reply ?
Ich weiss es nicht, aber ich mache anderen Tone, als Ihr sehen kann. -M
wow.
*_Tries to do this on 17 keys kalimba_*
Do you needing fingernails to strikes them,or no.
(Sorry bad English)
EnglishRose 13 Thumb nails help a lot, BUT there are about 10-15% of players who build up caluses on their thumb flesh.
:-) thank you :-D i like that
genius
das cool as fuck yo. dam
Buraya türk gelmez la
HELL YEH"
That was totally awesome.. Until I got to the part with vocals..
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! That was fun
oww you **.... what is wrong with you?? DAMNED
Apparently every time that I post a comment I need Shakespeare to revise it first or something: what I meant is that being such a simple instrument, and watching how easily you can make a symphonic orchestra by just joining like three of them, that makes me feel totally useless because I cannot even beat my nephew using those modern videogame controls. My hand dexterity sucks, so I cannot even imagine myself being able to touch two of those pins in the right sequence. Does this offend you too?
you sound like Eli the Computer Guy.
pimputitipimputipim :-)
You have a bad chitism, bro.
im going to dislike even though i liked it now :3
