oh no I play the violin and I need to keep my nails short but I also wanna learn the kalimba :’(

[@MariaEduardaMendonca8]

Me too hahaha i usually just leave the big toe a little bigger so I can touch both without problems

[@hanikapalafox3331]

Why not just keep your thumbnails long??? I'm pretty sure you don't need your thumbs when playing. (Im no music expert so please correct me if I'm wrong)

[@gladioli2704]

Kalimbas usually only use thumbs and I've never played the violin before, but isn't the thumb just for stability of the violin's neck[?]?

[@SoundMediaVibes]

You could get 'kalimba thumb picks' :)

[@jatzuyu3508]

Same but you can buy thumb picks for kalimbas so that you don't need to grow out your nail

[@WinterHasunoue]

Many commented they have to grow their nails first. But the real first step is:
*OWN A KALIMBA*
Edit: My Kalimba just arrived today. It's so fun and soothing at the same time. The sound is so sweet. And for a first timer, I'm proud of myself. I can't believe I made my own tab for song Auld Lang Syne and Doe a Deer in the same day I first play Kalimba. I'm looking forward myself haha

[@auliaajie1072]

WinterHasunoue can i know what the type of yours? or maybe the merk

[@WinterHasunoue]

@@auliaajie1072 mine is the one with hole.. Just like in the video but without a brand. I bought it from shopee. It's cheaper but still a good quality for me. The body made from mahogany. The sound also very clear. No regret after buying it.

[@waithirakariuki8871]

Good for you.
I'm a student in Kenya and I'm trying to save up to buy one.I hope I get to afford one so I can start playing too.

subscribed dude... anyway, what type of kalimba wood did you use?
i search for google and i found 3 type of kalimba, its bamboo, mahogany, and gecko...
but i confuse what is the different between them...
Help me...

[@KalimbaCam]

@@vinnon Thanks! My particular Kalimba uses Mahogany wood. I do not think there is a huge difference between the different types of wood. The colour is the main difference :)

I discovered this instrument this morning. I gushed about it to my boyfriend. I was mesmerised by its beauty both through its soothing audios and mesmerizing appearance. I gushed so hard my boyfriend decides to buy me one. So now I've got a Kalimba on the way. I'm super to happy, its the end of the day and I discover your channel! I really appreciate that you are supplying English subtitles. I just enrolled myself in your classes. Thanks for making these videos! I can't wait to master the Kalimba!!

[@Xaychedelic]

Thank you for this! Your covers are one of the reasons I decided to buy Kalimba and practice one myself. I hope I can see more tutorials from you!

@The detective GamerUwU well I got inspired by Simplynailogical on UA-cam and I keep polish on all the time - it's a great feeling having long natural, polished nails that I don't really know how to explain haha.. I used to have nubs and I'm not going back to that. The closest way I can describe the feeling is like how confident some people feel wearing heels.

This is my first time watching a tutorial about Kalimba and I'm thinking of purchasing one. I saw a girl playing Love of My Life by Queen in a Kalimba on Facebook and it was my first time seeing one! I hope I can learn how to play one in the future especially that I have zero idea when it comes to instruments!

[@gill426]

Amazing! I love Mandarin Chinese and I love the Kalimba, I just ordered one and can't wait to play it! So this is a splendid combination, I can learn to play the Kalimba and I can learn some more Chinese at the same time! Yeah, I love it!!! :D
The only slight problem I face is that I play the violin at the same time so long fingernails are a physical impossibility. :/ But I will manage somehow!
Great video, I love your channel!!! ♡
