Kalimba 34 keys Thumb Piano Mbira Finger Piano Gift for Kids Adult Beginners Professional（LT-K34V,snow whisperer)

It plays like it looks, beautifully. Perfect tune out the box, good weight, solid tines, it's my goto kalimba and i have 7.

Better than expected. Beautiful, well made, came out of container in tune. Its tone is beautiful. And it’s easy to play . I listened to tones and reviews here and on YouTube. This choice was a surprise. Both in 21 keys and solid wood. I’m very very pleased. May purchase the 17 in a few months.

I bought a Kalimba previously but this one is much better. The tins are twice as thick as my previous one and this one is actually made of solid, quality wood. It does require initial tuning but that's easy enough using an app. After tuning, it sounds incredible. The sound is full and rich versus the previous I got which sounded tinny. It's 100% worth the money compared to cheaper one.

I love the sound of a quality Kalimba. It's soothing, calming and puts me in a peaceful and happy state. I looked long and hard for a 17 key kalimba. I wanted a solid board because of the superior tonality vs the box. I also didn't care about the price because sound quality was more important and none of them really break the bank. After a lot of listening to different kalimbas it came down to this one(Ling ting) and a Gecko. I noticed in a couple videos the higher keys in the gecko sounded a little "plinky" so I decided to go with this Ling Ting. I am so happy I did. Every key sounds beautiful and the quality is flawless. It has excellent quality control as the keys are all on the same level with each other(see picture) which I find to be extremely important to play well. I've been playing every day for the past couple weeks and it has brought me great joy. I highly recommend this kalimba. I got the K17A.It takes patience and practice to learn to play well, but soon you will produce beautiful music. The downside is that you really need to play with your thumb nails and if they are very short like mine, that can be challenging especially if you chip one. I wish someone would engineer a thumb pick for the kalimba, in my case big ones for guys, that worked well. The silicone picks are a joke. The silicone renders an poor sound and are very uncomfortable. Anyhow, I don't blame the kalimba for this. This is a great Kalimba and I'm sure you will love it as I do.Ps. The song Sukiyaki is easy to learn and sounds great on the kalimba. Give it a try.Thank you Ling Ting!Eric

I did not receive the designated black stickers that should have been included with this package. The instrument sounds beautiful but having those stickers not be included in the package was annoying which is why I only gave it four stars.

The media could not be loaded. If you’re shopping for your first Kalimba — or looking to upgrade — look no further. This is the best flatboard / Solid style Kalimba you will find in the 17-key, C-tuned category — better than anything from Gecko, and absolutely on par with April Yang-designed Kalimbas.The African Padauk wood (note that many seller incorrectly list it as made of African Rosewood) that this Kalimba is made of looks stellar and is a FANTASTIC tonewood that resonate and sustains notes very well. The tines play clearly and melodically all the way through the highest tines — unlike many hollow-body resonator box Kalimbas, such as those made by Gecko, which sound flat on the highest tines.This package is a great value — it comes with a hard case, a bag, thumb protectors, color stickers, note stickers, a Tremolo chain, tassel, tuning hammer, handbook with song tabs, and a piezo pickup to plug the Kalimba into an amp to play louder or record directly into a device — and more.The only cons are that this Kalimba — like ALL solid body Kalimbas — sounds quieter than a hollow body resonator style Kalimba. That’s fine though, because each note sound much more rich, sustains longer, and plays evenly across the C major scale.Another con is that the note stickers it comes with only have numbers, NOT letters. For now I’m using spare letter stickers I had sitting around, but I had to order some more from China and they will take almost a month to get here. LingTing should really consider packaging future versions of this with letter stickers.All-in-all, I’m very, VERY happy with this purchase. I recommend everyone watch video reviews of the LingTing K17A on YouTube to see it in action. 5 stars.

This Kalimba is very well done and the quality seems excellent. The high notes are surprisingly crisp & clear and I love the complete chromatic scale. I had a 17 note one but wanted these sharps & flats. I am impressed with the whole shebang, everything you need and then some! Still working on learning to play, but it’s fun & I enjoy the process. It is easy to use, so transportable, (Awesome sturdy case) feels wonderful to hold. I find the sounds soothing and ethereal even when I’m just tinkering around with it. It is a tremendous deal for the price and would recommend it to anyone. Love the booklet and thanks for the songs. Perfect!
