And are there advantages or disadvantages to having a double sided Kalimba s vs all of the tines in 2 layers on one side? Currently I’m thinking I’d like a double sided in C…that would allow me to use at least 4 fingers to play, and have all the naturals on one side and all of the sharps / flats on the other. I read piano music so lack of tab wouldn’t be an issue. But I could have my mind changed if there are good reasons to NOT go that way…
