[@avarettig]

i’m wanting to start picking up more four mallet. do you think this would be a good starting piece?

[@northcape87]

I'm studying it right now, it is not too difficult you can do it as first piece if you have already done some technique with 4 mallets.

[@jackaguirre8576]

Yeah but what is the name of the song? Mbira is the name of the instrument, also known as the Kalimba or thumb piano.

Curious: How did this song get its title? There is another song, from Zimbabwe, called Mbira (but it is a marimba tune... arranged from Mbira style music)

[@jackaguirre8576]

An Mbira is an instrument mainly played with the thumbs. I dont know what this song is called.

It's a light and tumble journey from the East Side to the park, just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo. . .

I think Mark needs to invest in some newer Bergerault's, these are looking very worn and abused.
