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. 🌞
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.
...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.
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. 💚
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. 🙃
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
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?
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
Actually i dont know how to paly a kalimba but i do play the piano i only got a kalimba because my aunt got me one so i had no idea how to do it but i know how to play the piano and j tried doing the notes just doing it in the kalimba and boom i know how to play the kalimba hehe so if any pianist sees this go get a kalimba!
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.
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
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
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

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
Your voice is so soothing 😌😌😌
Waiting for my 1st kalimba (hollow) to arrive🙂...just need to learn how to read the tab/notes/num🫠
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

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😢

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

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. ✨😌👍
Thank you so much ✨🌺🌺
Wow, thank you for this video
Just here to say that I love your voice, you would be a fabulous voice actor for cool / cute characters
Me literally disassembling it all to polish the keys😅
My main problem is to find a perfect force I need to use. I either overdo it or can't move at all :'(

I just learned how to tune it today 😊✨
THANK YOU 💗
Im getting my kalimba these Friday yuhooo😊 skl
Thx, I'm just getting a kilimba on my birthday😄😄
Thankyou!
amazing thank yiu
Ty so muchhhh
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
Tyssm! Been tuning it wrong the whole time 😭
As the legendary Ervbeatz on tiktok from 2019 playing Kalimba, tuning was my favorite part lol
Btw thank you for teaching 💗
Thank u now i know how to tune my kalimba..just bough recently. And theres a hammer along with it
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.
Thank you
I just ordered one I SAVED THIS TO WATCH LATER
I will do that now Ty I didn’t know how to do it 😁
is a guitar tuner good enough?
Thanks my Kalimba was way out of tune thank you for the app advice
Your voice sounds like that water thing from super Mario sunshine… it’s so soothing lol
I tuned mine my sisters and my da's cause neither wanted to learn how too 😅
I have that Lingting! ❤
I remembered when I tuned my kalimba the whole day 🥲
I got a new kalimba thx for the info
I’ve never agreed with a video after two seconds until this one
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. 🙃
Ae, my school band uses that app for tuning also!
This is just like tuning my saxaphone except it's moving the mouth piece up or down
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.
YES SOUNDCORSET IS THE BEST
I got a blood blister on my thumb from playing lol, but I still like fooling around with this instrument, helps with stress

SALAMAT!
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
Please can you do the music summer please 🥺
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.
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 had it once , but i will buy soon.. teach me madam
hii what kalimba do u use? im a beginner wanting to get one but dont know whats good ^^
Th❤❤❤and you
Legit thought the hammer was for hitting notes🤣
❤😊
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 :)
YUH SOUNDCORSET GANG
How can I fix high notes( like E’ B’ F’ C”) ? They all sound so dull… but the others working great
I downloaded an app for this and my kalimba sounds so bad, I can’t even play the songs that I already learned :(
It is precisely for this reason that I play pieces where there is no need to tune it
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🥲
did someone have an app for tuning but on pc ?

I don't know what tuning app that is but Tonal Energy is the only one I recognize lol
But what if my g note shows a in the app
Then hammer from top
So true😢😂❤
How is this possible?? It's so easy to tune it!
This just discouraged me even further
I already have a kalimba, but it's in bad condition... Should i buy another one or get my previous one fixed? (Sorry im so indecisive :[ )
Sooo do you have to tune it depending on the song you want to play each time ? I’m confused sorry
i actually find tuning the thing fun lol
How to play soft notes in this instrument?
my e was db
How long until you have to retune?
Do you teach mini kalimba 😅
does this mean we can only play songs in key of c otherwise we have to re tune the kalimba?
