Our interactive virtual playshop Kalimba Campfire takes place live each month on Zoom and the Clubhouse Social Audio App. Guests can be seen on camera, while participants have the luxury of joining with their camera off — mimicking the safety and warmth of playing around a campfire in the dark.
In June, our special guest was Robbi Kumalo — a longtime beloved member of the We Play Well Together community and celebrated children's music artist. Robbi always inspires us with her free creative impulses, musicality, and imaginative expression.
In this session, Robbi shows how easy it is to play a background beat that helps you rock out on the kalimba — and keep in time. Watch the edited highlights from her presentation:

I have only had my Monolina C for about 10 days, and already I have fallen in love with it. The craftsmanship is beautiful. I purchased the legs and travel bag as well, and yesterday traveled with it to visit a friend who is recovering from surgery. I tried out the placement of the monolina on her body, and she said it felt amazing and reduced her level of discomfort tremendously! I also really appreciate the excellent customer service from Gabriele, who helped me with some questions about purchasing, and then with some initial tuning questions. I was also able to attend one of the Monochord Monday Meet-Ups, which I found very inspiring. I highly recommend both this company and the high quality instruments!
I run this kalimba through effects pedals and get some amazing soundscapes with it. Very versatile and beautiful. Highly recommended. I appreciate that we play well together carries these wonderful instruments. Highly recommended.
A beautiful Kalimba. I run this through effects pedals and you can do some amazing musical soundscapes with it. I would certainly buy again. I appreciate weplaywelltogether carrying and shipping this item. Highly recommended.
A delicate and elegant musical instrument. I like that it is tuned to key of C. It is not for leaving outside on the patio, but rather kept with other musical instruments. I love the sound of it with my kalimba.
