This Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba is lower and fuller than most other kalimbas.
And you can learn more about this kalimba, including the tuning, at

i remember when i first saw this more than a decade ago... still sounds as magical as the first time i heard it :) gives me avatar: the last airbender vibes.
I have been playing half my life, and I taught myself. Now, I write books to help other people play the kalimba. AND these videos are good too to help people learn to play. MANY of my kalimba songs on RUclips have tablature available for them.

I made my own kalimba, in its own shape, key and tone. This is one of my favorite kalimba songs out on youtube!
Every time I listen to this I feel like my spirit goes on a journey. This is purely amazing.
The sound is so magical, I want one.
I want thaaat.
This is the Alto Hugh Tacey Kalimba - this one was my favorite kalimba for about the first 20 years I played kalimba, and I recommend it highly to many people. -M
I've been listening this for 17 years....
@@undertakerex111 It was my first youtube video
I came here on accident, looking for the song 'Kalimba' that comes on Windows. Best accident ever.
Yes - look in the description and follow the link - Mark
.. I have a full on beard and everything since I posted this comment! ;
This was the best accident in my life, almost as best of an accident as when i accidentally ran over that prostitute who was pregnant with triplets.
Best. Accident. Ever.
Sounds like its raining. I love it
This is one of my favorite videos of all time
Thank you so much -Mark
Found one of these for $5 at a thrift store, and my roommate and I were completely enchanted by the sound.
$140 discount... not bad... but to us this thing is priceless.
WreckTheReckless Holy sh*t! That discount mate!
$140
My first kalimba was actually a Treble (17 note), but I didn't like it - then I got an Alto and everything was great. After 20 years, I finally went back to the Treble and modified it to be more like the Alto (with the root note in the bass - that is how the Bb Treble was born) -- SO, enjoy the ALTO, I recommend it to many people. -Mark
I really, REALLY like this instrument. Just discovered it yesterday, quite by accident, when I viewed a Korean jazz singer (Youn Sun Nah) using it to accompany her minor key rendition of My Favorite Things. I'll be buying myself one as soon as I can identify which kind will suit me best. Amazing sound!
Yes, I am familiar with Youn Sun Nah's video - she uses a Hokema Pocket Sansula (A minor).
This is the video that introduced me to the kalimba about a month and a half ago. Surfing the net one day, I happened across Mark's web site (I don't remember what brought me there), and discovered this video. It blew me away, and it still does. After seeing this, I just HAD to get a kalimba of my own. So, I ordered one from Mark. I've now been playing mine almost every day since then, and am thoroughly enthralled with it...
This is an amazing instrument.
I'm addicted to this sound. I listen to it almost every day. Greetings from Poland!
beautiful!
Yes, it is a good way to meet cool and interesting people, by walking around and playing. I rode the bus for 10 years while playing kalimba, and once a woman asked me to stop because "that music offends me" - I didn't know what that was about, but I did stop that day. I usually played very quietly on the bus, and much louder while walking.
Glad you enjoy the kalimba!
-Mark
i have at least 20 in my house lol, my dad and close family friends are in a sudanese thumb-piano group called kojo.
you´re a lucky guy
Recently, my friend Ellen Wu bought me a kalimba from your online store, now my son is crazy for it! He almost wants to play kalimba every second!
Thanks for sharing and introducing so wonderful music!
very inspiring for a beginner like me...
Im still amazed after all these years!
Avatar the last airbender soundtrack brought me here, awesome instrument
After watching this video a couple months ago I decided to make my own Kalimba. Although mine is low quality I have been completely hooked. This video alone has completely inspired and got me hooked on an instrument that is all to easy to overlook. I cant thank you enough for the upload. Keep up the amazing work.
hey dude i want to get one kalimba to play songs to my baby, do you know where can i buy a great one?
I import them from Africa (this is the Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba) and ship them all over the world.
Visit us at Kalimba Magic on the web. The coupon code CAT13 will get you 13% off.
Any decent music store such as, Guitar Center, Sam Ash Music, Woodwind & The Brasswind, & Sweetwater should be able to order you a Kalimba . I used to have 1, I bought from Sam Ash, I even had it signed by Earth, Wind & Fire after a concert, but my nephew stole it ! I have no idea what he did with it, or who he sold it to .
+mrinnervisionz thank you and im sorry for your Lost Kalimba 👍
Francisco Torres, Yeah' it was dear to me, because EW&F had signed it for me . I can always get another Kalimba, but having them sign it is another story . Btw they can cost from 35.00 to 80.00 + . Good luck & enjoy the music .
you can buy one off of amazon
Beautiful song, I love the thumb bends you throw in there, just awesome.
MY dad played the Kalimba and this brings back some great memories, thank you!
I'm inspired to get one of my own and start practicing!
Play on! Love and Light
Its really nice. What is the tuning?
Standard G Major, though this place is in a B minor mode. That said, for the last 5 years I have had this kalimba tuned down to F.
I love this piece ever since I heard it in my Ethnomusicology class. You truly are an artist at this. In fact, I've shown it to many of my friends and they agree!
I hope you keep on making awesome music, Mark :)
Reminds me of Avatar:TLA
+inFAMOUSBlastshards Definitely! Love it.
Same instrument
Come back to relisten every so often, still a beautiful melody
Is there an instructional video for this please, get enough likes so he can make 1. i really want to learn this.
mase ofspades Mase, If you look in the "show more" information below the video, there is a link to a web page with tablature for this song, broken up into little bite sized bits. - Mark
kalimbamagic It is so confusing though, kalimba tab aint the easiest.lol even just a video of it played slow would be cool.
use the youtube 'slow playback'
function
@@joonks7373 good idea
Listened to Bonobo > Discovered the Kalimba > Stumbled on this video > Found you're based in Arizona > Now waiting for my Kalimba to arrive. 10/10 day
your legs seem to enjoy the music :)
Very nice and peaceful.. love it.. Kept hearing it in Earth Wind and Fire tunes and had to find out more. thanks for sharing.
At 1:46 I lost my mind.
Sounds like avatar the last airbender after some of the episodes :3
Nerd.
Just kidding 😉
Gabriel Kerr What about it?^^
Dont see anything with being a nerd of any sort :3
Nice, the little sound effect with the thumb ! Great idea !
Am i *Late*
2019 *_Anyone_*
For an experienced musician, the Hugh Tracey Alto (this kalimba) will probably be a great instrument for you - unless your hands are small, then the Treble will fit your hands better. If you are on an economy budget, I can recommend less expensive instruments (Catania 12 Note Gourd kalimba comes to mind). - Mark
I am absolutely in love with this instrument. Ive been watching videos and I just adore the way it sounds.
Best part is its so portable! I can take it with me anywhere. Im sure people will love me on the long rides to and from work on the bus with this thing. Even better, is that its an instant conversation piece! Its so unique.
Hi; I'm a Dza VaDzimu player and happened upon this . Beautiful song! All mbira's have their own magic
One of the first kalimba compositions I heard on youtube, the fifths and the wah-wah really made me fall in love with the sound :)
I have been looking for a new instrument to learn. It only took you the intro of this song to show me my search is over. Thank you.
I just bought one and I can't wait to play around with it, great song love all the beautiful sounds and rhythm in it !
@kalimbamagic Never mind!! I think I have fallen in love with the Thomas Bothe 2B 14 Note Kalimba!! Now I just need to save the money. Thank you for the beauty you bring to the world by sharing these mediums of heaven.
Great video. Great tune.
I have one of these, which I bought in The Canaries years ago. I now have a reason to take it up again.
I love the song and the sound of the kalimba. You make playing it seem effortless.
Magical, mesmerising. So many unique instruments, so little time.
how a simple instrument makes a beautiful tone!!
After watching your videos just purchased a Kalimba I can't wait to receive it will be great for music therapy.
very haunting and yet melodic and harmonizing at the same time!! nicely done!!
Wow man. Beautiful piece... such a beautiful composition!! Love the instruments you make too
such a beautiful sound and well played! Reminds me of some ancient African ritual we all missed a few centuries ago :)
What a fantastically whimsical instrument; this particular style I find myself especially fond of. I can just imagine this in use with a glass armonica and perhaps a mandolin.
I don't know what it is about instruments like this and the cajon that fascinates me so much...
Wow....my deepest repect..beautiful song and a great inspiration. Thanks...
What an adorably small instrument.. and it plays awesome. Reminds me of a music box. I want one!
Wow, it is SO GREAT when someone else understands what I am doing! Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comments!
-M
One of my favorite examples of how to use the instrument!
My mind is blown. I didn't even know this existed! That sound.... the wavering notes are GORGEOUS. o_o
Jim,
This is by far my most popular model of kalimba, and for 20 years was my favorite as well. -Mark
What a pure sound... amazing.
this video made me play with my sansula the whole sunday afternoon and order one of those kalimbas. HEAVEN
Another great example of your expertise with the kalimba! Your awesome!
I have watched this video every day...
Pure genius!
Agnes from Poland
What a really wonderful video with amazingly nice music!
I watched this like 3 years ago... I fucking love love this. The bouncing knees just tells you hes groovin. big up dude
Amazing! This instrument sounds so warm!
I love this sound... dreamy, fantasy... love it!
5 stars! words can't express how I feel after hearing this.
I listen to it all the time... Wish I had a kalimba and play like this...
you sir are amazing, i love this instrument. keep up the great work.
Oh my god! That's so beautiful and incredible!
great song and quiet good technique.
i´ll search for more of your videos
beautiful song, and amazing player, nice instrument master !
Awesome! I'm borrowing a friend's kalimba and your arrangement is amazing. Thank you!
AHH!! My friend just bought this intrument and I a Ukulele... We're so exited for them to be delivered... and this inspires me sooo much!! Thank you! So pretty! :)
Ah THANKS Patti! You are so sweet!
of course, you are well on your way to
master-hood yourself. Of what I have heard, you are the person who has taken the Array Mbira the furthest. I know in the fullness of time, you WILL certainly be the best player of that instrument.
very good play !!!!
i love this song !!! thanks ...
i wish i can play like this one day !!!
BEAUTIFUL. peace and love my friend, keep on jammin.
Brought tears to my eyes. thanks
Beautifully and masterfully done! Great performance, must get one of those!
It is a Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba, I bought it from a music shop 20+ years ago, but I am now blessed to be in the position of importing these kalimbas - my favorite instrument in the world - and selling them. -Mark
Its very beautiful...............this sound is very unique.
This song got me into playing the Kalimba! I hope one day I will be able to play it. My video response nothing in comparison, just a token of appreciation with music.
Thanks!
That was simply divine! Wonderful job!
That was freak'n AWESOME!
Now I know what i'm asking for when my birthday comes around.
Nice beat and very smooth
7,000th person to sub! I just bought a 6 note kalimba from you and am awaiting it's arrival. SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im getting my friend one of these for her birthday, I just adore them! sounds awesome :D
Yo Man this Is a student from Sahuarita High School I saw your presentation today and You are Awesome man Keep doing what you do!
-Mike
many compliments, amazing music, I'm gonna buy a kalimba soon...
We really liked your clip. You must make more
Goose bumps! Love it
Amazing. Truly amazing. True work of art.
Thank you! This is the Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba, which is my best selling kalimba. -Mark
its nothing to say ...ilove this song!! this is GREAT!!!
Marc,
Yes, two small finger holes in the back. I use them in two ways - when I am playing so fast with left and right thumbs, it is impossible to do the "Wahwah" with the thumb on the front hole, so I am almost constantly covering and uncovering the back holes. AND when I use the front hole for the "wahwah", I am also covering and uncovering the back holes - this gives it deeper wah effect.
I just ordered my first kalimba ...and I can't wait!
I signed in just to say, that is awesome. Great playing sir. I almost want to buy one.
that was insanely entertaining! I always see these in fair trade shops like shared earth and have a bit of a play on them and think "nah, never be able to write anything good on one of these". You have most definately proved me wrong! thats awesome and I think I may buy one now!!
