Tuned to the standard key of C Major, it covers notes from C to the octave E. The kalimba, also known as a thumb piano or finger piano, is a descendant of the African mbira. You play it by plucking the metal tines with your thumbs, and each of the 17 keys has its note and number stamped on it to help you find your way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery key is tuneable, so you can keep the instrument sounding right over time. The set comes with a tuning hammer for adjusting the tines, plus labels for learning the keys and a beginner's guide to get you started. Thimbles are included too, which some players like to wear to protect their thumbs during longer sessions. A carrying bag keeps everything together and makes the kalimba easy to take with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a good choice for anyone new to music as well as more accomplished players who want a compact, portable instrument. It measures 180 x 130 x 55mm and weighs just 274g, so it sits comfortably in the hands and packs away without fuss. The okoume body gives it a warm, mellow tone that suits both quiet practice and casual playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNotes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 (C to octave E)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC Major\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarved okoume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180mm x 130mm x 55mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.27KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/173003UK.pdf?v=1784990758\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat key is the kalimba tuned to?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes tuned to the standard key of C Major, covering 17 notes from C to the octave E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I retune the keys myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
