Kalimba Magic 10-Note Spiral Kalimba WITH Note Names on Tines

Description

This new product differs from the standard Spiral-10 Kalimba in that the tines are stamped with the NOTE NAMES (“C”, “D”, “E”…) and NOTE NUMBERS (“1”, “2”, “3”…). As such this one is not available in alternative tunings (because then the note names and numbers will be incorrect). Furthermore, this model is not available with painted tines, because the stamped tines don’t paint well.

These are very sweet kalimbas, with soft, wide tines, modestly spaced, that are easy on young thumbs and beginners of all ages. Key of C. There is an option available for stamped tines, which means, the tines are stamped with note name and number. For a beginner the note name and number system may be beneficial in the learning process of playing kalimba.

With 10 notes, this kalimba is actually quite a capable instrument and is able to play a lot of really nice music, including the repertoire of African karimba music.

This kalimba is made from stained mahogany wood. We are back to a circular sound hole – heart-shaped sound holes tend to crack, unfortunately, but the circular holes are less likely. Handsome “Kalimba Magic” wood burning design.

This kalimba comes with a Free 32 page ebook – “Introduction to the 10-Note Kalimba in C”.

This is a stepping-stone kalimba: everything you learn on this kalimba can be played on the Hugh Tracey Alto kalimbas, or on the new 17-Note kalimbas in C. This kalimba is a step toward a life-long enjoyment of the kalimba. Our 10-Note Kalimba is made in China to Kalimba Magic specifications.

I would also recommend this instrument to anyone who just wanted to start playing kalimba. What a great introduction to the kalimba!

If you are interested in getting your 10-Note kalimba in a different tuning or with painted tines, you want this 10-Note Model.
