Here is some useful info on retuning your kalimba. These two pages were taken from the Star-13 Exotic Tunings download.   Here is something I learned from my days as a Radio Astronomer: if you can tell there is a problem, you can usually fix it!

To sell my business, I need to get the inventory way down. To sell these kalimbas off at a discount, I am doing what I should have done when I started selling them in 2021: write articulate and helpful instructional materials to help you get the most out of the Star-13 Kalimba. But instead of doing that work, I was tending to my ill wife. (It is complicated, but she is doing much better now.) No complaints. My life is great.

Plus, I include for free a 37-page instructional PDF with live links to sound files. This download will show you all of the tricks I figured out on this

About 15 years ago, someone gifted him a Hugh Tracey African-tuned Karimba, but it was out of tune. He set out on a path exploring the tunings it was capable of. Every week or two, he would take the instrument apart and put it back together again with a different key, a different tuning, and a different note organization. The Lotus tuning, which SaReGaMa made to play music for his newborn daughter, was the first one to become insanely popular. Remember to use the

Silver Moon Tuning The Moon-10 Kalimba, made by Magadi, really caught me eye. I loved the way they felt and sounded. And I especially loved the variety of tunings I could get out of the Moon-10.
