Finger Piano Kalimba 21 Keys, Calimba, Kalimba 21 Key with Tuning Hammer and Instructions, Sail Away Thumb Piano for Adults and Beginners(Brown)

We got this for our son (and so I can play around with it too). I understand a bit what some people are saying with the end notes being flat. But I mean, the tongs are really short to be higher pitch so they're not going to ring out as well as the longer, lower notes. They're also farther from the central hole which is what helps give the nice reverberation. That said, I'm not displeased. It functions as expected and has a pretty nice sound. My only complaint would be that it doesn't have sharps or flats, so you can only play things in the key of C. But it's a beginner instrument, so that isn't totally unreasonable. It also has a beautiful look to it.All in all, I'm impressed with the quality for the price point and we'll have lots of fun with it.

I bought this as someone who likes to fiddle with music. A trained pianist, playing familiar tunes casually is a hobby and the kalimba is great for that as it's easy to pick up, play, and set down. Admirably, it's harder than I expected but will take some getting used to. This size has more notes than other models which is a plus but I wouldn't quite call this portable, though it can easily be put in a bag. It just does still take a chunk of space up. It seems well constructed and has a nice feel and finish. It came relatively in tune but also had the tuning hammer, as well as some other goodies like sheet music, starter guide, and bag. The thumb things to help twang the tongs don't seem to help much but I could be misusing.

Plays easily and has a good sound. A little tin sounding at the extreme bottom of tonal range and flat/dull at very top. Mine is 21 notes so maybe the fewer note instruments sound different/better. I’m having fun playing it but avoid using the extreme ends of the tonal range because of the unpleasant twang.

My son absolutely loves playing music on this.

Got this for my daughter as a gift it’s a beautiful instrument that you get. With a real wow factor. It comes with everything you need to start. Sounds great right out of the box no tuning was needed.

I was pleased with the quality

So beautiful! I wish my son would have liked it as much as I did but he wasn’t into it. The sound is very soothing, and it’s so easy to play! Definitely would recommend for a gift!

I love this and so do my kids! It's a great size for them to play around with. It's easy to play, even though they're not reading notes or anything. They still enjoy pressing the "keys" and the sound is great. It's well-made, and I'll probably get another one for my niece.
