Rayzm kalimba is beautifully crafted from solid mahogany for all sides of the body. It has 17 keys made of ore-steel for a good tone. Curved soundbox and key tips brings more comfort without hurting hands when you play it. The patented pattern engraved on the top is unique and eye-catching. Light weight and portable size is easy for travel. Good quality makes it an ideal choice for music lovers,beginners,adults,kids…
It comes with a main sound hole in front and two smaller holes at the back. To get a Vibrato effect, you press your thumb into the main sound hole, which feels like you want to push the sound back. You can get “wah-wah” effect by covering and uncovering the two back sound holes with your fingers.
It is playing three or more adjacent notes simultaneously on a kalimba. When you play 3 adjacent keys, you play a triad – a three-note chord. When you play four adjacent keys, you play a 7th chord. Five keys in a row make a 9th chord.
Although the keys are engraved with notes and numbers, you can still cut the red and green note stickers to put on some keys you would like. It’s much more visual that helps to make your learning process easier.
1. Purchase a tuner or download a tuning app on your mobile phone:
IOS: Instuner
Android: gStrings
2. Pluck the center key on your kalimba and refer to the tuner:
If the note display on the tuner is too flat, gently hit the key with the hammer from the bottom until the tuner reads kalimba’s defaulted note and the pointer directing to the center position. If the note is sharper, gently hit the key with hammer from the top until the tuner reads the perfect note.
3. Proceed to tune all the other keys one by one in a similar way.
