Tune your instrument with the hammer
The tuning hammer is essential for properly tuning your musical instrument. It helps you adjust the pitch by sliding the steel tines along the bridge. We recommend using it along with the electronic tuner for kalimba. This way, you can be sure you’re always playing in tune.
Protect your kalimba with a cover and cloth
Even though the kalimba is not made of crystal, it’s still important not to drop it. This instrument is also sensitive to humidity and dust. This black protective cover is waterproof and helps keep your thumb piano away from dirt. Soft foam padding inside cushions your kalimba against bumps or drops, while a built-in compartment keeps the hammer with the kalimba at all times. A convenient handle makes it easy to take your African musical instrument with you wherever you go. The included cloth makes it easy to wipe away dust and keep your kalimba looking its best.
Learn to play the thumb piano easily with stickers
The stickers attach to the kalimba’s tines, helping you memorize the location of each note. At first, this makes things much easier by giving you clear visual cues while you learn which tine matches each note. The stickers are therefore a key element in your success.
Be guided by an introductory booklet to the mbira
Even though the mbira (or kalimba) is a fairly simple instrument, it’s helpful to have some guidance during your first few playing sessions. That’s why a booklet is included. Inside, you’ll find tips on how to position your hands, place your stickers, and even play a few songs with the included sheet music. This will help you confidently step into the wonderful world of the thumb piano.
Protect your thumbs with kalimba guards
It may not seem like it when you watch someone playing, but after a while, some players can experience soreness in their thumbs from playing the kalimba, especially if they don’t have long fingernails. That’s why thumb protectors are included in this kit to help prevent uncomfortable irritation or injury. Enjoy long hours of worry-free playing!
