Moozica 17-Key EQ Kalimba, Koa Tone Wood Electric Finger Thumb Piano Built-in Pickup With 6.35mm Audio Interface and Professional Kalimba Bag

I got this as a present for my partner. We had already tried the non-EQ version of this brand and sound was quite nice, so I decided to get him the built-in pickup one. The connection with the amp works fine. Sound is nice connecting it to the amp or just playing it by itself. However, when connecting to an amp the sound of the finger tapping the metal bars when you play leaks also to the amp (which having a micro inside the kalimba, is something to be expected). The sound still comes out nice, but it has that additional component that without plugging is not that noticeable. Summary: - Pros: nice sound with/without connection to amplifier. Nice design also. - Cons: Sound of finger tapping the metal leaks a bit into the amp when connected.

This is my second kalimba. Lovely tone, easy to learn and works well even without an amp. I only really need that for outdoors. No stiff or dead tines, would recommend 100%. Someone reviewed one and said there was no cable but mine came with one. If you are looking for a first kalimba or an upgrade, don't hesitate.

I bought this Moozica 17-Key EQ Kalimba (koa tone wood electric finger piano) for my son as a gift after he completed his Master’s degree, and it has turned out to be a great choice. The quality is excellent. The wood, size, outer casing and overall appearance give it a lovely, well-made feel. Best of all, though, is the sound – it really is quite magical and wonderfully soothing. It’s one of those instruments that is genuinely relaxing to listen to. The solid wooden construction also makes it feel reassuringly sturdy. My son has taken it with him on many of his travels and it has stood up well to being transported around, while remaining compact enough to take along without too much fuss. My son absolutely loves it and, considering the quality, sound and craftsmanship, I think it represents very good value for money. I would have happily given it five stars; unfortunately, my son experienced some issues when connecting it to an amplifier. That said, it hasn’t stopped him from regularly playing and thoroughly enjoying his first Kalimba. A beautiful little instrument with a wonderfully calming sound. Despite the amplifier issue, I would definitely recommend it.

This Kalimba was a bit more expensive than most of the others. That's alright by me as It has a beautiful sound. It sounds very good as an acoustic and through my amp. Pleased with this purchase.

I ordered the kalimba as a gift, and it was much-much appreciated. The sound is beautiful and so is the instrument itself. Comes with a nice case and some other extras, like multiple pickups which are handy. It is easy to use and to learn and has a wonderful sound. The order arrived on time and in perfect condition, without any problems. Thanks, Moozica!

Before I return this kalimba which I received today I thought that I would give the seller time to respond. Whilst it’s is a lovely looking and sounding instrument the EQ system does not work despite trying it on 2 different amplifiers. I find it frustrating that goods are not checked before posting to a customer, it would save time, money and considerable disappointment if faulty goods were caught before sending them out.

We bought this for our son, who loves it! Quality product that is a joy to play.

This is a lovely comforting and portable instrument. I'm glad I was introduced to this. I returned mine because of the trouble with tuning two of the tines as they would not give a clear ring no matter how I tried to tune them (B1 and C1 if I remember rightly). It became frustrating to play as I wanted to hear clear tones from these notes when learning a melody. The tines are too close together and could have a few millimetres more between them on a wider board to make it more accessible to tune and to play as better suited to smaller hands, in my opinion. I personally would prefer the end of the tines, where plucked and arpeggio'd, to be wider also. I was not happy with the design. A screw nut for detuning and tuning the tines would be more helpful than using a hammer. I quickly found myself desiring a wider double-layered Mbira/Kalimba with more octaves. Something to consider for the future. I was pleased to find that the pick-up also works allowing for amplification.

Muy buen regalo. Sonido muy relajante y que venga con pastillas para ampli o grabar el sonido es genial. Complementos muy buenos sobretodo la caja/funda. La madera es preciosa. Lo compré para mi hermano que es músico, estoy pensando en comprar una para mi y aprender. Es un hábito relajante y divertido

Wouahhh... trop bien comme disent les jeunes ! Tout est superlatif, tout y est et dans la meilleure qualité de fabrication. Rapport qualité prix imbattable je pense. Accessoires, livret, housses, rien ne manque, même les outils et stickers utiles sont présents. Et le son... envoûtant??? On resterait des heures, paisible à écouter ce que nos doigts et cet instrument peuvent créer. Sons cristallins, puissance et en même temps, possibilité de murmurer des mélopées venues d'ailleurs... On devient créatif en se laissant aller ! On aimerait le garder tout le temps avec soi pour profiter de chaque seconde de liberté à se faire plaisir en écoutant les murmures de ce nouveau compagnon, fidèle et toujours prêt. Du rêve devenu réalité. Grand merci aux personnes qui réalisent de tels instruments, pour un prix aussi modique... N'hésitez pas, foncez !!!

Klingt richtig gut. Tonabnehmer funktioniert.

Strumento fantastico! Ha un suono bellissimo che la cassa armonica in acacia koa valorizza ancora di più. Collegandolo ad un amplificatore e applicandogli un po di riverbero o di delay diviene eccezionale. Già arriva accordato, quindi pronto all'uso. Questa kalimba è costruita veramente bene ed è pure bella da vedere. Ottima la custodia rigida ma pure gli altri accessori. L'unica "nota stonata" è la dimensione dei proteggi pollici in silicone che sono troppo piccoli anche se di misura L; forse sarebbe stato meglio mettere la misura XL. Sono ovviamente più che soddisfatto di questo acquisto.

Très bonne résonance dans les graves et les médiums. Les 5 notes les plus aiguës ne sont malheureusement pas très fortes en acoustique. Mais une fois sonorisé l'équilibre est bien mieux ! Le micro est correct. L'effet de wah-wah ne marche que pour les notes médiums. Très pratique de voir les numéros et notes sur les touches quand on débute, ça fait gagner un grand temps de repérage pour jongler entre les tonalités. Etui de bonne qualité avec un emplacement pour le marteau (très serré mais ça passe quand même). Quelques notes légèrement désaccordées à la livraison, mais sinon ne se désaccorde presque pas au fil des semaines d'utilisation. Les accessoires livrés avec sont plus où moins utiles selon les utilisations (Livret guide avec partitions en anglais, marteau pour accorder, protège-doigts (que je trouve inconfortables et plutôt inutile, il faut des doigts fins pour les enfiler !), autocollants rouges et verts, étiquette avec les notes et correspondances sur le clavier (inutile vu que tout est déjà écrit sur les lames), chaine métallique pour faire de vibrato, chiffon microfibre, pochette en tissu souple). Esthétique en bois classique, assez bonne ergonomie avec les arrondis sur les arrêtes. En conclusion je ne regrette pas mon achat, c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix pour un joueur débutant qui a déjà quelques bases en musique, et qui pour ma part envisage d'en jouer en public (grâce au micro intégré).
