    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! >^.^

    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!!!!!

    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.

    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!

    • @SamSalvador
      @SamSalvador  Год назад

      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 :)
