Kalimbas for beginning musicians
If the kalimba is your first instrument, it makes sense that you pick one that is not only within your reach, but also a kalimba that will instruct you in music in general and guide you on your way to your next kalimba. Everything you learn in the 8-Note Book can be translated to the 15-note Alto kalimba. By the way, the 8-Note and 12-Note kalimbas, both in the key of C, play together beautifully.

This is my least expensive kalimba - if this one sounds this good, just think how good
the others must be. Every kalimba we sell at Kalimba Magic is a quality musical instrument
that I would be happy to peform on!
