At first when i heard you have a website that offers free lessons and recourses n stuff I didn’t believe it, but then I visited it and it’s true! This will be so much more accessible for people who can’t afford to pay a subscription. Thanks for teaching the world Kalimba lessons 👍✨
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. It’s good to learn the basics since I never did exercises, but just picked up the kalimba and plucked keys at random. I loved your videos back then and I sill love them today. You are an amazing person and thank you for sharing! >^.^
I've been following you a couple of weeks ago and I got fascinated by your videos and how Kalimba is such a great instrument. Now that I discovered that you made an entire course/ guide to help people learn about this instrument, I'm admiring you even more! Thank U from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️
I remember I'm always watching your tutorials in your past videos🥰❤️❤️ and now I'm still learning and practicing on how to play a Kalimba perfectly because of limited time to practice 🤣 You is a good teacher 🥰🥰 I have learned a lot in this video🥰 You will always be an inspiration for us to learn how to play music🥰 by the way we miss you🥰 Have a nice day to all and God Bless 🥰❤️
Hello Sam! My name is Tracy Ann! I just saw your channel today, as I just recently purchased a kalimba, and I had a lot of difficulty trying to figure out how to tune and to get all the scales set so I could play! I love music, and have a musical background as I play the violin along with a little bit of piano and guitar, and probably will adapt well to learning and playing sooner, but it's good to listen to the steps in the video just to ensure that I am playing the right notes and at the right timing, etc. You may have heard this already, but you are a very good, pleasant and patient teacher, and you play nicely too! I'm thankful I found your RUclips page and look forward to watching and learning more! Thank you so much for how you put these videos together as you have! I'm not surprised that you have 110,000 subscribers because your content is wonderful!! If I don't hear back from you soon, I hope you and yours have a very Blessed and Happy Christmas and many blessings in the New Year! Stay well and safe out there, okay?? I will check back later or tomorrow, and will continue to check out your videos in the meantime!! Take care now!!
My moozica solid wood 17 key Kalimba ($44 from Amazon plus sales tax) arrived about 1 hour ago and following your tutorial, and using insTuner (it seems easier to use than PanoTuner) and the hammer I was able to tune it in about 30 minutes. I can tap out some tunes that I'll need to practice with using Metronome but it is nice to see the notes show up in tune while I play. This Kalimba came with a nice case, nicely finished solid wood, steel keys, a starter booklet, a hammer, a bag (guess the hammer isn't supposed to go in the case) and two of those thumb things you mentioned. THANKS!!!!!
What a great video, Sam! This is so well edited and easy to understand. I'm definitely going to check out the site right away. What a cool idea. I really admire how hard you work!
super helpful and informational video! I never felt like I could understand an instrument but this is making it easy enough for me to actually enjoy music. thank you
Hi Sam, I love your video's! You've inspired me to want to learn how to play the kalimba. I'm waiting for my Kalimba to be delivered next week and I can't wait. I decided to buy the Hluru flat board 17 key kalimba. I tried the Lingting 17 flat board but the hard edges hurt my hands. I'm hoping the Hluru will be better for me. Thanks again, your sweet voice and easy way of explaining things is very helpful!!!!
I just bought my first kalimba. I was introduced to it in a video for the song Angry Eyes by Loggins & Messina. It seems intriguing. I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and also some keyboards. I look forward to this new instrument in my ever growing musical journey.
Is there any chance you could drop a link to the accessories for the peeps that have difficulties growing fingernails? I'm one of them but have been out of luck finding them... Perhaps you could help me out?
Thank you so much for uploading this video and for the free lessons on your website. I believe learning to play Kalimba is going to give me some happy moments.
Im planning to buy kalimba and learn it. Until i come here.. Best tutorial and step by step trully for begginers, looking forward that i can play it confidently. Thanks and em definitely subscribed.
Thank you very much for your tutorial. I hope I would be able to use and enjoy my kalimba . My goal is to play the ff songs 1. Happy birthday 2. Tis the season to be jolly 3. You a my sunshine 4. Somewhere over the rainbow
I'm comin with ya. I'm a beginner and I'm waiting for my 21 key. I'm determined to stick with this. Thank you. It would have been a great pleasure to be a crazy piano player but, turns out I'm just crazy lol.
I have just recently seen this instrument (with 8 keys) on the internet and immediately searched on RUclips how to possibly learn how to play it. The first video that showed up was yours and I’m happy for that. Your presence is sweet and your voice very pleasant. Thank you for an excellent tutorial and for such generosity by granting free lessons. I believe you are a great teacher and look forward to watching more so that I can decide about purchasing this delightful instrument. And regarding this, would you recommend any website or brand? How can we trust a purchase on Amazon for example? Thank you in advance!
Hello helenai! I'm glad you enjoyed this tutorial :D In regards with purchasing kalimbas online, you can usually read the amazon reviews on the product and I found them to be really useful especially when it comes to quality of what I'm trying to purchase. A tip I usually do is look at the reviews with the lowest ratings so that I can have an expectation of what can go wrong with the kalimba. If the bad reviews just involve slow shipping or bad packaging yet still having a good quality kalimba, then that's usually a good sign to purchase :)
I just bought one last night, it comes soon😢 my birthday is on the 11th of July this month, i thought to buy this formyself as a self present cause i don't tell anybody about my birthday 😅
@@DouradaBambina Thank you so much! I'm 21 as of four days ago, but i didn't do anything special for it. Only a few people knew and now you too xo so thank you for your kind words ☺️
Ah! Just one question about the course. Can I follow your lessons using a Kalimba app to learn how to play? I just bought my Kalimba yesterday and it will take a long time waiting to have it in my hands and I'm super excited to start as soon as possible (not too long, but one entire month).
Ummm I have a question if you don't mind😅if we already mastered all the basic and practices can we try to play any song on our kalimbas? Edited: sorry I meant can we try to play easy song next

I just started. I’m 35 and needed something to mess around with musically. Great while sitting on the couch and chillin. Lol
I’ve never played any musical instrument , so I’m very excited to learn kalimba as a beginner 😊

For me I don’t tune it again except for when I need to changed the notes like when I tune the b to b flat

Great video!!!! I play the piano so I have to keep my nails short, other than those finger picks you can buy, is it alright to use just the thumb?
I’m waiting for my first ever kalimba instrument to arrive .
I have just recently seen this instrument (with 8 keys) on the internet and immediately searched on RUclips how to possibly learn how to play it. The first video that showed up was yours and I’m happy for that. Your presence is sweet and your voice very pleasant.

@@SamSalvador thanks for responding. I also do what you mentioned above regarding reviews on Amazon items.
Thank you!
Very nice 👌 explanation and your expression 😊
Thank younfornsharing your skills to us
Nice sharing Sam! Perfect video for kalimba beginner❤️
❤ awesome video, now I know what to do when I get my kalimba! 😍
GreAt tutorial. I’m learning how to play kalimba right now. Thanks 😊
Alternatively, you can use the hammerhead to press down or push up the tines. Knocking can be noisy esp towards the neighbors.
She's so beautiful 😭
You go girl. Thanks
It's mesmerizing!
Great video!! I'll share with anyone interested in buying a kalimba ☺️
thanks !! Great!
