The tuning of the Kalimba B9 is identical to that of the Sansula. It is in A-minor with additional tines tuned to B and F. Because all the notes harmonize, beginners can easily pick it up and start playing.

default Tuning A-minor: A, C, C, A, A, F, E, E, H

Amplify the sound by placing the kalimba on a flat surface such as a table or top of a drum. 

We suggest you use a 6.3 mm cable and a right-angle connector. Cable and connector not included.

The B9( nine tines) is the ‘sister’ model of the B7 (seven tines) Kalimba. Both have the same sized wooden block, but the tines of the B9 are slimmer than the B7. This gives the B9 a more overtone rich sound compared with the B7, which has more vibration instead.

Every tuning contains numerous musical possibilities.

The 18 pieces presented in this book, will give you examples both on how to use the Kalimba to accompany other instruments and to play the Kalimba as the lead melody instrument.

Watch Videos and Listen to the different tunings and use our Tunning Tool 

We have compiled a couple of videos showing you different tuning flavors and how to tune steps, for your B9 or Sansulas.

The tuning tool has an indention on the top so you can securely place it at the end of the tine. Then it won't slide when you use a hammer to tap the tuning tool and push the tines in or out.
We show you how its done in the videos plus you get to hear the different tuning suggestions.
