Hugh Tracey Chromatic Kalimba Review - The Best Ever?

Cheat Sheet: musicalsanctua...
Out of all the kalimba manufacturers on the planet, perhaps the most notable is Hugh Tracey.
In this video, I'll go over my review for the chromatic celeste treble kalimba from Kalimba Magic, sharing my thoughts and feelings about it. I'll also share several sound tests, both using an external microphone, as well as the built-in pickup that comes with this kalimba.
This particular kalimba has 17 tines (or notes), and a built-in pickup for easier recording!

I still like chromatic kalimbas where accidentals are in the same side as the naturals. With that Chili Angels and Ling ting brands comes to mind

[@larrybaker5316]

do you recommend the solid or hollow kalimba?

[@marianacardosochrispim4822]

is the sound good/loud when playing without the pickup? I wish to buy the chromatic treble

[@marianacardosochrispim4822]

also, do you recommend some microphone and amplifier for kalimbas? thanks for sharing your experience

[@angelavandergoes7692]
