How to tune a kalimba

  1. Check the note with any chromatic tuner or tuner app.
  2. Shorter tine = higher note, longer tine = lower note.
  3. To raise a note, set the tool against the tip of the tine and tap it gently so less of the tine sticks out past the bridge.
  4. To lower a note, tap from the back end so more of the tine sticks out.
  5. Tap a little at a time and recheck after each tap.

Hokema kalimbas

In my younger days (I am 83 now) I played the organ and piano. Some time ago I decided to try playing a kalimba where I could sit and play from my recliner. I tried a couple of the inexpensive kalimbas made in China. They were terrible with some dead tines and tuning issues that could not be fixed. So I purchased a Hokema B17 kalimba from WePlayWellTogether and Wow! What a difference. It was tuned to perfection with no dead tines. Having a hearing deficiency, I added a pickup to the back of the kalimba and plugged it into a small battery-powered amplifier. Perfect! I also like the solid body kalimba much better than the hollow box types. I enjoyed the B17 so much that I purchased the smaller Hokema B11 with the built in pickup. Another fantastic kalimba. Now I have two kalimbas, one tuned to C Major and one tuned to G Major. Just to show how much I am enjoying these wonderful Hokema kalimbas, this week I ordered the B15 and electric B9 to add to my collection. WePlayWellTogether has been a great resource for my new hobby. The kalimbas have arrived quickly in perfect condition. A question I had about the scale of the B11 was quickly answered with a booklet sent by the firm at no cost to me. If you are interested in purchasing a kalimba, look no further. Visit the WePlayWellTogether website.

Perfect for those who don’t wanna use that little hammer for your Kalimba, the sound doesn’t do so hot with my ears so I invested in this, I think I made a good choice ^^
