HOW TO USE
Tuning
•The 17-tine kalimba comes tuned in the C-
major scale out of the box, but you might
have to do some extra tuning to make it
sound perfect.
•You will need a tuner (not included) or a
tuner app for your phone (there are free
tuner apps for Android and iOS available,
choose one and try it).
•Consult the following chart, then tune each
tine to the corresponding note.
•Use the included tuning hammer to dial in
each tine.
•If the tuning is too low, slightly push the
tine upwards. And if the tuning is too high,
slightly push it downwards.
How to play
•There are two ways to play the kalimba.
•Se the kalimba on a flat surface and use
your index fingers to play it, or hold it in
your hands and use your thumbs.
•See the following picture for reference.

Storage and care
•When not in use, store the kalimba in the
included bag.
•Do not expose to moisture or liquids of any
kind. This can damage the box and make
your kalimba lose its unique sound.
•Use with clean hands to prevent dirt
buildup, and wipe the tines after every use
to preserve sound quality.
