it had a very nice sound. However

When it arrived, it had a very nice sound. However, I noticed all the keys were put on backwards. So, I tried rearranging them in the correct order (which was a very delicate process) and I thought it would all be fine anyway, but it doesn't sound the same. Not even close to what it's suppose to sound like. I was not expecting that sort of mistake, especially when the keys are labeled.

Wonderful! (but no tuning hammer)
by Bonnie Fairbanks (4 out of 5 stars)

This is a cheap and cheerful instrument that will give you an idea of whether you want to buy a more expensive kalimba. I played piano and flute as kid/teen and I've wanted a small easy instrument to mess around with. This is it! I was always good at reading music but could never improvise. But this kalimba allowed me to play simple songs via sheet music as expected, but within 30 min of picking it up I was transposing music into it's key on the fly and also improvising. The tuning & layout make it easy! It brought a thrill and a simple joy that I haven't felt in some time.

Mine did not come with a tuning hammer, thus the 4 rather than 5 stars. I can't find a way to contact the seller but if I do and they send the hammer I will edit.

In the description they recommend an Android tuning app. I tried that one, but I like the app called universal tuner better. kTabS is a computer program that will let you easily write or transpose kalimba music ($30).

Note on another review: a reviewer said the tines weren't in order. Not sure if they are trolling or just don't know what they are talking about. The tines are not supposed to be in alphebetical (i.e. note) or numerical order.

Very good product! Extremely happy.

I ordered the 10 key Mugig kalimba but received a 10 key Gecko kalimba instead, so I'm not sure if that was supposed to happen. But I opened the package and almost everything was there: the kalimba, the cloth bag, the music book, and the culture card. However, it was missing the tuning hammer, but the kalimba was already in tune, so I don't think I have to worry much. The kalimba looks exactly like the picture, except there was was a scratch next to the sound hole. The sound of the kalimba is very sweet and pure, and it's relaxing to play. When I first tried it out, the keys hurt my thumbs, but the second time I played, it didn't hurt at all. The songs in the music book are common melodies that are easy to play (Mary Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, etc.) but I went online and found some pop songs that I prefer playing. A very good product, and I'm very happy with it! It met all of my expectations.

I'm disappointed

I received my kalimba yet obviously not an original mugig kalimba. the manuals look very cheap and Chinese low quality and they keys are very stiff to play with the last 2 key on the left and the right sides almost impossible to make a sound. I'm disappointed

Big-fingered beware!
by Liam (3 out of 5 stars)

This thing sounds great after struggling to tune it (maybe just a flaw in the design of kalimbas themselves - not necessarily this brand specifically) but I don't get a lot of enjoyment playing it because it is darn-near impossible even with smaller fingers. This would probably be a great model for children but anyone with "adult fingers" will likely have as much if not more trouble than I did playing it. As for the quality of the wood and metal, this feels and sounds like a professional model - very good craftsmanship.

What a disappointment! So many people are trying to build kalimbas ...

Had to return it. What a disappointment! So many people are trying to build kalimbas today. Maybe Mugig will get it right one day. Hugh Tracey

It's simple and lovely
by LaughOften (5 out of 5 stars)

The instrument itself is beautiful, and the sound it makes is of nice quality. The instruction book included is very very basic, with a few classic songs to play by key number, not by note. Would be nice to have more information on tuning though. Overall, I'm more than pleased with the product.

Disappointing.
by Okay Joslynn (3 out of 5 stars)
October 22, 2017

I was encouraged by all of the stellar reviews on this product. However, when I received my kalimba I was disappointed. Many people wrote that their's arrived in tune and while mine was close, it wasn't. I've also had some experience with these instruments and the buzzing on the high notes and the A was exceptionally high. I also believe that the one I received may have been previously returned as it did not come with papers or the booklet that contained music. There is also very slight chipping on the paint of the letters on the tines.

I can tune the instrument myself but I would have liked to have had the papers and booklet.

There is no body damage.

It's alright for what I paid for it.

A great instrument
by Lusik (5 out of 5 stars)

This is a great starting kalimba! It is affordable, aesthetiy pleasing, easy to tune and sounds good.

As a fairly simple kalimba you can't accomplish too much note range wise, however that shouldn't stop you from investing in a new and unique instrument! As a beginner myself I found that this kalimba suited all my needs and was also neatly labeled which helped the learning process along.

Overall I'd recommend this kalimba to both experienced and inexperienced musicians alike!

Fun to play

I bought this as a gift for a friend who plays guitar and loves all types of music. He enjoys it and sits on the porch playing it. The little song book is fun to start out with, and if you have an ear for music you'll soon be playing all sorts of songs! A fun item.

My grandson immediately started 'strumming' some tunes on it. He loved it - because he could just pick it up and start playing. He said it was easier than carrying around a piano.
