How to play the kalimba?

You essentially hold the enclosure between each of your hands gripping with your fingers and leaving your thumbs free to move.

You pluck the tongues in a downwards motion with your thumbs one thumb covering each half of the instrument.

The back of the kalimba enclosure usually has 2 smaller sound holes which are can be covered by the fingers to change the resonance of the box and create different tonal qualities.

How To Tune the kalimba?

To tune a kalimba is to actually adjust tines so they have the exact sound they are supposed to, according to which note a tine is designated to play.

1: Tuner:You can use a real tuner or download an App.
