I just got mine in and I already have you are my sunshine memorized. I am obssessed. Its so soothing to play it. Every other time I jave tried to learn to play an instrument I have gotten frustrated and quit. I love my kalimba though. To anyone who has bad anxiety I would highly recommend
I love my kalimba. It is such a relaxing, easy to play instrument. So ethereal amd magical sounding. I got it last year and haven't tuned it yet. This is helpful to know. 🌞
I only watched one of your kalimba videos before this came up on my feed. Still trying to wrap my mind around how good your voice sounds to my ears... There's a very sweet soul behind that voice. 💚
...YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAMMER THOSE!? I unscrewed the bar and slid them all up and down and screwed it on again over and over and OVER!!! D': It was even worse when I accidentally knocked the body of the Kalimba, and ALL THE NOTES SHIFTED.
The thing that discourages me from playing is figuring out how to read and play typical sheet music with it (not with numbers or letters but with notes that most instruments use). There's so many songs I want to learn but don't know how to use typical music notation with it. I just get confused easily and don't know much about music.
I thought it sounded good before I tuned it, but after and it’s like no matter what I play it’s gorgeous. Can just flick random keys and it’s so satisfying. But yes.. took me like 30 minutes to tune it properly. The higher ones were the most finicky. I felt so accomplished if I tuned one correctly the first try though. The E at the end was hard. Kept trying to register as an F till I put the kalimba right over the microphone
Yeah, it's possible and rather easy, but I hate it when I have to tune my kalimba every time I want to play a particular song. Sometimes it takes 3 minutes or so because there are 17 keys and sometimes you have to tune most of them... So I prefer putting the songs into a C major or A minor to match the kalimba tuning (tho it's kinda boring to have all the songs in the same key)
This is so true, I stopped playing my kalimba because I didn’t know how to tune it and so I just forgot about it. I just started playing it again today and i realized that I lost my tuning hammer.
Tuning is true for the guitar, too. I couldn't tune my guitar right for my guitar class, so I dropped out of guitar class 4 weeks in so i never learned basic guitar. 🙃
I think tuning my Kalimba was actually a lot of fun when I first got it! Just wanna put this here in case anyone's scared of it. I think it's pretty neat :D
Hey! Thank you so much for the reels😊 Can I also change the tuning of my kalimba? For example, mine comes in the G tuning but I would like to have a lower sound, can I tune it to other note by using the tuning app?
makes me confused how so many people didn't know it was for tuning.. i've never played kalimba, but bought one today, because why not and i immediately knew it had something to do with tuning
Unfortunately mine didn't come with a tuning hammer. I got mine at the Earth Bound in that massive mall in Baton Rouge. I appreciate this video though. I am planning to go to a music store with it when I can. Mine is a round coconut one with 7 keys. 2 of the keys for sure need tuning. I still been having fun with it though for now.
I am often discourage because in Germany the kalimba is very unknown and i need Notation because i learned Other Instruments, i Play with Piano Notation. I cant ready kalimba Tabs but i can Not find many kalimba notations only notations with only the melody and that is too easy. I want to play music for 34 key kalimba for more advanced Players But i cant find any. Now i Downloaded Crescendo to write my own kalimba notes but i dont have that much time.
Nice, I have a tuning hammer when I bought mine and I thought that it was to play and I was so confused 😂
Not me-
What-
Me too and then I just paused like- Wait that doesn’t sound right 😂
😂😂
Me too 😂
Just ordered my kalimba yesterday, while I wait for it to arrive I'm educating myself haha
Three weeks later, I'm doing the same! ^^ I got a little 8 key one for the price of a coffee, now I've ordered a more substantial one and reading up
how's the playing going lads
Same here!
Were you able to pick it up quickly?
Was it easier to play rhan you thought or harder?
Same here! I ordered it yesterday and now I’m learning about it.
Me tooo in gonna get it tomorrow so excited
WHAT I LOST MY HAMMER THINGY CAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A FREE GIFT THAT CAME WITH IT WITH NO USE-
If you knew about it u would know
@@Sourgrapes.0.0 “ahh yes the floor here is made of floor”
Rip
Why would you think that lmfao
Same
I wish I could save shorts to Playlists. This is a great motivation to try tuning my kalimba again.
You can, just press the 3 dots and it should show "save to playlist*
@@zhiensvlog5984 it's not showing the option ●︿●
@@rhythmsofhearts Sometimes you can only save on desktop or sthg I think
You can screen record 🤫
Just press like and you find at liked video

Your voice is so soothing 😌😌😌
I do not own a kalimba, nor do I think I will ever own one. I have watched this video 4 times now.
Why ?
Why ?
Maybe it's a sign...
this is your brain on short form content
Lol me too

OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
@@biaxolotl5171 I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE BABY HAMMER WAS FOR, HE LOOKED LOST AND INEXPERIENCED XD
@@Gamatech123lmao I knew what it was for but I didn’t know about tuning apps and I didn’t have the tuning device and then I lost the hammer 😭
@@Gamatech123you treated your hammer like an inexperienced intern so it never got to learn😢
I use the app to play kalimba because I cant afford some good quality instrument but I love the sound of kalimba its so relaxing ❤

Really? Most of Kalimba covers here on youtube are with tab sheets like numbers.
The Kalimba I bought had stickers with them that I could put on the notes. It made learning to play songs way easier
I got my Kalimba today ❤❤ completely in love
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Very helpful, I already bought Kalimba yesterday, this video help me a lot, thank you much for sharing, Stay blessed
thank you for this tip i really need it for my kalimba especially the high notes 🤦🏻
SAME😂
This helped me.Thank you❤
Thank you for explaining
This video saved my life😚so happy now
I was thinking of getting a kalimba. I'm glad I saw this video before doing so... Didn't know what would have happened if I wouldn't have. ✨😌👍
Thanks for this 🥰
Finally I know what the hammer for- Thank you for showing how to tuning the kalimba :D
I just learned how to tune it today 😊✨
Just here to say that I love your voice, you would be a fabulous voice actor for cool / cute characters
Thank you so much ✨🌺🌺
Wow, thank you for this video

Thankyou!
My main problem is to find a perfect force I need to use. I either overdo it or can't move at all :'(
amazing thank yiu
Btw thank you for teaching 💗
Thank you
Thx, I'm just getting a kilimba on my birthday😄😄
Tyssm! Been tuning it wrong the whole time 😭
I will do that now Ty I didn’t know how to do it 😁
As the legendary Ervbeatz on tiktok from 2019 playing Kalimba, tuning was my favorite part lol
Tq
I just ordered one I SAVED THIS TO WATCH LATER

Your voice sounds like that water thing from super Mario sunshine… it’s so soothing lol
Thank u now i know how to tune my kalimba..just bough recently. And theres a hammer along with it
I have that Lingting! ❤
This is just like tuning my saxaphone except it's moving the mouth piece up or down
SALAMAT!
I got a new kalimba thx for the info
I tuned mine my sisters and my da's cause neither wanted to learn how too 😅
This is so true, I stopped playing my kalimba because I didn’t know how to tune it and so I just forgot about it. I just started playing it again today and i realized that I lost my tuning hammer.
Thanks my Kalimba was way out of tune thank you for the app advice
❤😊
Legit thought the hammer was for hitting notes🤣
I remembered when I tuned my kalimba the whole day 🥲
It usually takes more than a minute to tune the whole kalimba
Yeah, she cut out the rest of the tuning process to make the video short enough
The video is supposed to be less than a minute, not the tuning process.
@@waluigihentailover6926 Just clarifying
My friend had COMPLETELY unturned their whole kalimba, I spent half of our D&D game tuning it so our bard could fiddle with it.
I’ve never agreed with a video after two seconds until this one
I am thinking of buying one and I am extremely surprised that that is how you tune it (I thought you would have to loosen the "bridge" or something.
Ae, my school band uses that app for tuning also!
I found it so easy. It just take a while
New subscriber ^^
i took a lot of time tuning mine then gave up and played it without tuning the others lol
Me toooo😭 idk tuning is sooo hard 4 me
@@auniamirahbintiismail1874 haha exactly my high notes sounds cracked af
@@francinefiona5266 omg mine too😭but, mine sound like my grades.. they kept declining🥲
It is precisely for this reason that I play pieces where there is no need to tune it
YES SOUNDCORSET IS THE BEST
YUH SOUNDCORSET GANG
I got a blood blister on my thumb from playing lol, but I still like fooling around with this instrument, helps with stress
Tuning is true for the guitar, too. I couldn't tune my guitar right for my guitar class, so I dropped out of guitar class 4 weeks in so i never learned basic guitar. 🙃
I had it once , but i will buy soon.. teach me madam
I downloaded an app for this and my kalimba sounds so bad, I can’t even play the songs that I already learned :(
I think tuning my Kalimba was actually a lot of fun when I first got it! Just wanna put this here in case anyone's scared of it. I think it's pretty neat :D
For me it's the fact that I've never heard of it before I might not be able to tune a piano but I can definitely tuna fish.
hii what kalimba do u use? im a beginner wanting to get one but dont know whats good ^^
So true😢😂❤
I was playing with that hammer till i saw this video
TEACH ME!!

Th❤❤❤and you
is a guitar tuner good enough?
When you lost ur tuning hammer: send help-
This just discouraged me even further
I was just thinking " wtf, i aint got no hammer..."
And then i realised im just blind asf
Any recommendation for another app?
❤️
And a tip avoid accidentally hitting your kalimba with the tuning hammer even if it’s just a little hit it still damages your kalimba
How can I fix high notes( like E’ B’ F’ C”) ? They all sound so dull… but the others working great
You dont need a hammer, wakes the neighbors. I use my house key to push on either sides.

i actually find tuning the thing fun lol
my e was db
I don’t have a tuning hammer but I have a Stanley one
I don't know what tuning app that is but Tonal Energy is the only one I recognize lol
Yoooo me and her have the same last naaaaame
I dead ass thought it was a playing hammer or something. Ive only been playing for a few hours
Omg what that’s so easy
Me literally disassembling it all to polish the keys😅
If I forgot to bring my tuning hammer outside and on holidays can I use like a rock or a stick or like anything?
A rock isn’t recommended but I found that a thick butter knife or any sort of cutlery works great as an alternative
@@Techedship54 tyvm I sometimes would forget to bring my tuning hammer to go camping or other holidays but mostly camping but tyvm :)
