Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2020
- Hello KALIMBUDDIES!
Here's a shoutout to @Luna Amirah Aphrodesia for asking us how to properly maintain the kalimba. You are awesome!
Alright!
So the following tips on how to take care of the kalimba are based on my personal experiences. Again, all of our kalimbas are different. From the material of the tines to the wood and finish used on the body of the kalimba.
So when you do try to apply these tips, see how the kalimba reacts. if it is something that works for you.
Got any suggestions for what you want to learn?
do let me know in the comments!

Psalm 115:1❤️
I appreciate how she says even you can play, it makes me feel like I'm not as stupid as I think I am to learn how to play :))
Well, it's true! 🥰❤️
I learned to play alone in one day(I started today and now I can play the Game of thrones theme)
@@bettybatrinu3998 I also stared today! 🙂
I'm Autistic and always wanted to find an instrument I could play. Kalimba is perfect. I've been playing and learning since November and know 8-9 songs
"it is designed to take those beatings."
great word choosing if you ask me :>
Hahaha! Oh thank you for noticing that. That is actually one of my favorite lines here in the video 😆
Thank! I don’t have a kalimba yet but I was thinking to buy one. I love you’re vids💕
Oooh that's so exciting! I think you would really enjoy it once you get to experience it personally.
Aww thank you for the love. 😊
I bought my kalimba 😁
I’m gonna get a kalimba too since quarantine started I’ve been really bored so I’ve decided to to start playing an instrument and I chose the kalimba
@melike! Oh Congratulations! Which one did you decided on? 😄
@amazonite that is so true! It is a good way to spend some time too. 😄
HAHAHAH I realized I have wet hands🤦🏻♀️ thank you for your advices💖😘
HAHAHAHA! you're so funny, i literally laughed with your realization! hahaha! aww hope it helps, dear :D
@Tip’s Kalimba I have a question, does acrylic kalimbas rust? Just asking because I have one and I dont want it to rust. ;-;”
Hi Sia! The body itself doesn't. For the tines, as long as you take care of it, it will not 😊
Thank you Tips’ Kalimba! Your content really helps me ❤️ thank you for the reply!
🥰❤️
It was such a good idea to record this video! It's so important because usually people forget to care about their instruments or don't even know that they should! Thank you so much! 🌺🌸🌺
Aww thank you for sharing that meaningful insight my friend. What you said is so true. 😍❤️
Ahhhh. That's why it seemed that some of the tines were dead when I got it but they were fine after some playing.
Exactly! 😁
While watching this I'm learning and laughing at the same time😂❤️ love from the Philippines
Hahahaha! Aww. I love it then. Thank you Dong Hae. Wuhoo! Represent! 😍🇵🇭❤️

Hi Tip! Oh my gosh you are gorgeous! Thanks for all your tips, it makes playing kalimba a lot easier for a beginner like me. :) I was able to tune my first kalimba in a swift because of you, and your soothing voice is just soooo perfect.
You're a darling. Aw. Thank you for such appreciation. But wow, that's literally music to my ears, knowing that Kalimba playing became easier for you and that you can now tune your kalimba in a swift. Wow. I salute you for that, Harulala. 😄
I've started playing a little bit and I am learning.
I travel a lot and I love the idea of having a musical instrument that I can use in my hotel room without disturbing my neighbors! Happy day! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. You are very kind and thoughtful! 💖🌻💖🌻💖🌻💖
Oooh! Exactly! I so love how kalimbas are so portable. And i love that you travel a lot. I'm so happy that you do. I also think that that is so considerate of you to think of others too. 😍🥰❤️
Thank you for the advices how to take care of it! I just recently bought one and is excited but worried at the same time how to maintain it long term. Thank you. ☺
Well, just be mindful of it. I'm sure you can make it last 🥰

Question: what is the thing called to protect my acrylic kalimba from scratches?
so i looked up all the terms and this is what they call them:
scratch resistant pads (kimi's definition)
protector pad
floor protector
hope this is helpful :)
@@TipsKalimba Thanks!
I just got my first Kalimba today ! I love it , I choose the perfect Color ( bleu , deep blue ). I hope I can play a song soon XD. And YES your video help me a lot, like how to tune the kalimba ( it’s really hard to tune the 2 last in the left and right corner 😅, the app tuner cannot recognize it well . Like example on the kalimba it’s D, but the app shows different letters many times. 😩) . Well I will now go watching your others videos 🤩. You have a new subscriber. Hihi
And I have a question pls. How many times or in which moment do I need to tune my kalimba if I played it often ?
Woahhh! That's such a beautiful color! 😍 Okay here is a tip, when you tune, make sure everything is quiet, no tv, aircon, electricfan. Then if it still doesn't hear it, put your Kalimba on top of your phone :)
Welcome to the family by the way 😍
Oh and for me, i tune my kalimba everytime i record music :) just few taps so it's fine
I love the tips! Thank you so much!
That's so cool! I hope you get a good one. 🥰
Thankyou for your tips! And of course I always love how you explain 😍😍
Aww i so appreciate that. Thank you for the love. 😍❤️
you're adorable! A fan from Morocco :)
woaaah! that's incredible! it's so cool to know that i now have a friend all the way from Morocco. :D!
Well im from Slovakia😅
i learned a lot from this❣️ also po, im really willing to learn and play kalimba, next week sguro, mag arrive na yung kalimba ko 😊 I wanna arrange tabs of my favorite songs but not sure how to do it 😔 so can u pls do a video about how to arrange kalimba tabs po? Thank you po and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️ LOVE FROM CEBU!
Wow! Ugh so excited for your incoming kalimba! Which one did you get? :)
Yes, we actually have an ongoing Kalimba mini course here on the channel. The playlist is entitled kalimba 101: let's play. I highly suggest that you go and check it out to build your foundation. Because every lesson is essential to be able to arrange a song.
Thank you for the love all the way from Cebu! Been there 3 times now because there's no Rico's here in our place. 😆
Love from Pampanga! 🥰❤️
Tip's Kalimba Hi Tip. Kabalen ka pala.😘 I’m planning to buy. OK na ba yung Gecko 17 Keys Mbira African Mahogany?❤️
Hi kabalen! Well my roots are "kabsat" hehehehe! Ooooh, is this the flatboard? If you're getting a hollow, lingting is the way to go. 😘❤️
Tip's Kalimba Kinilig ako kasi nireplayan mo ako.☺️🤗 Salamat sa TIP.😘
I just bought my kalimba and your channel helped me Tune it and play it.
Wow, that's so amazing to know. Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Thank you, I just got surprised with my first kalimba a bit ago today and this really helps!! ^^
I'm curious about the silica gels and keeping it dry. Where I live it gets extremely dry in the winter and for our guitars, violins, etc we put a humidifier (wet sponge encased in plastic) in the case when we put them away. Otherwise they're prone to getting too dry and cracking. It seems to me since the Kalimba I ordered is made of wood I might have the same issue.
Would that be true?
That's a good observation! Haven't tried experiencing that climate, so you can do what you think works for you. Especially if you noticed that this was helpful for your other instruments. I do suggest that you check on them from time to time to see how the tines and the body of the kalimba reacts.
Good video, but I miss any information how to care for the wood of the kalimba. My HT kalimba comes with a little information paper that says: "Wood can be moisturized with shea butter, oil or wood conditioner - wipe on, let sit for 30 minutes, wipe off. Monthly treatment should prevent cracking and beautififes the wood." I am using the shea butter :)
Hi Petra! Well, it's something I haven't tried or done yet, so i didn't include it since it's not something that I have tested. Though i did read something about it :) thank you for sharing that to all by the way. I'm sure those who are curious about this will get a lot from this comment of yours.
Thank you for sharing. 🥰❤️
Great video, I really like listening to this music. It story tells very well.
Love your tips! New subscriber. I also love how you mention God in every end of your video ♥️
i was planning to buy kalimba from lazada but the one i'm planning to buy can't be connected to the amplifier, i was wondering is it possible to play louder? idk if it makes sense but thank you for the video!♡♡♡
Oooh! Well if you really want to to be loud there are attachable pickups that you can place. From my experience, i don't have an amplifier but i do have a mic for when i record music with it 😄
Hi! In a few days my kalimba will arrive. How can I clean/sanitize it?The resonant box is made of mahogany, bamboo & acacia. Thank u in advance & sorry for my bad English.
Hi dear! Oh your English is fine. 🥰
Hmmm. What i would do is if you have a cloth? Place rubbing alcohol on the cloth then wipe your Kalimba clean. Wait for it to dry, then do it one more time but with a different cloth. I hope this helps.
@@TipsKalimba thank you so much!
woah better take notes on each of this, my kalimbas gonna be delivered soon im excitedd
Yes! I hope it helps 😍
Hi tip! I just bought some kalimba and thankyou for the tips now I know how to take care of it😊btw I love your videos!
Happy to help, Kyzl! i appreciate you sharing this with me :D
just bought one but i cant even get mine til next month 😬

Hi 👋😊... I think i found my best tutor here. 😁 Your videos are one of my recommendations ... So i just clicked and watched, and found it was very helpful for me since I'm a beginner... Eager to learn playing kalimba... Just keep doing what you love. I'm looking forward for more vids and updates on your YTC...thanks a lot. God bless you... 😇 By the way I'm your new subscriber😊😁👋
Hope ma notice mo ako ma'am 😊👋
Just bought a kalimba..all of your videos are really helping me get started playing kalimba Thank You sooo much
That's so great to know😊
@@TipsKalimba Hey i just wanna know should you ever need to change your tines... i have a guitar and i need to change the strings every 3-4 months to prevent the stain.. is it the same in the kalimba? if it is how often should you change it?thank you🥰🥰🥰
Hi Divan! Well, if it's well taken care of (no rust or anything) it can last for years. One of my first Kalimba has been with me for almost 2 years now and the tines are still like new. :)
I think it's cool that you do take care of your guitar by the way.🥰
You’re my favorite kalimba channel!! 🌸❤️🌸
Love from the UAE ❤️🇦🇪
That's such a big deal to me. Wow.
Thank you for favoring this Kalimba channel the way that you do.

Hi I'm am happy you upload today💙❤
aww, thank you for being happy with our upload for today. that's so sweet of you, Annie
My Precious Mama always told me that she wanted to play a harp at the feet of Jesus someday in Heaven. She passed away on 1/6/21 - I miss her terribly. I realize the kalimba is not a harp but I love the sweet sound it makes and I believe she would have too. My grieving heart needed to find its focus on something uplifting- I ran across a kalimba advertisement for a tiny handheld kalimba and instantly felt joy at the thought of learning how to play it - I bought one and knew I’d love to play this instrument on a larger scale. I have just ordered my wooden and acrylic whale kalimba from Amazon and while I wait for it to be delivered I came to UA-cam for some newbie tips. So glad I found your channel - I’m a new subbie and look forward to learning from you. You are an excellent teacher, thank you for this channel.
Your videos means alot and it works
Aww that's amazing then! Thank you for sharing this with me 😍
Thank u so much! I really want to get a kalimba, so I’m learning how to use it first.
Hi Mika! Oh thank you for sharing that with me. Well, we have a whole playlist here on our channel called kalimba lesson for beginners where i do share informations on learning the kalimba if you are curious :)

"When it falls... well, I'm sure you're aware of what it does..."
😳 I'm actually not aware...I haven't dropped mine yet! 🤣 I don't plan on doing that either, so I'll just take your word that it'll be disastrous! Thanks for the vid! I didn't know they get stiff when not in use. I was wondering why it was sounding better and playing easier with each practice session. 😆
Subscribed! Thank you for the tips ✨
