The KTabS program has been my primary tool for documenting and disseminating
kalimba music in a form that other people can readily understand.
This month, I discuss:

for transmitting knowledge of a song to a roomful of squirmy kids...
Louise Fuller-Sloman is the person who keeps wood and metal flowing in the door and the kalimbas flowing out the door at African Musical Instruments (AMI). One cannot see oneself in isolation in this kind of work

We sold out of Alto kalimbas with pickups, so to make it up to you,

The "Dear Abby" of the kalimba world!
