Kalimba Tuning Hammer

Tune your kalimba perfectly with this hammer

The kalimba tuning hammer is a truly essential accessory for anyone who plays this African instrument. It’s important to know that kalimba tines aren’t fixed in place. Instead, they’re held securely by pressure via a bridge. Over time, those tines can shift, either from an accidental bump or simply after lots of playing. They need to be moved back into position, otherwise your kalimba will sound out of tune. With this hammer, designed specifically for the kalimba, you can slide the tines along the bridge to tune them. With this tool and a tuner, you’ll bring out your kalimba’s best possible tone while making sure every tine rings true. The knurled handle also provides a comfortable, secure grip. Finally, this accessory is made entirely of steel, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Make sure your kalimba always plays in tune with this tuning hammer!
