GECKO Kalimba Package includes 1*17 Keys Kalimba 1*Waterproof and Shockproof Protective Box 1*Tuning Hammer 1*Flannelette Bag 1*Cleaning Cloth 1* Thumb Piano Key Stickers 1*Study Guide (User Manual and Music Score) Review: Amazing Kit with a Beautiful Instrument for an Amazing Price - Beautiful wood, excellent kit. Includes cleaning cloth, basic instruction manual (with links to videos, some easy songs, and further resources available), 3 sticker sheets for labeling the keys if you so want, a bag for all the extra goodies, plus a very sturdy carrying case for the kalimba + tuning hammer. This set is both affordable and satisfyingly complete for a beginner. I'm having a lot of fun learning and transcribing! The wood is beautiful and the instrument is good quality, especially for its price range. As for sound quality: It has a beautiful music-box sound and reverb. There are two holes in the back that can be used for some tone range and vibrato. I did notice that some of the higher keys (B5, C6, D6, E6) become hard to hear and need to be played with either more thumb-force and at the very edge of the key to sound nice. The penultimate keys on both ends (B5 and C6) don't play very cleanly, as in: I can hear some overtones and even some adjacent keys sounding when I play them. I have tried to fix this with the tuning hammer and by shifting the keys a little, but so far, there isn't a good fix. It's not a huge issue in the end, especially for what I paid. All-in-all, an amazing purchase! I'm learning a lot about modal forms and transcribing with this instrument, so I'm advancing my music knowledge with a much more portable (and affordable) instrument than a piano. Extremely satisfied with this product. Thank you so much! Review: Great product! - I am a percussion player wanting to learn the kalimba. I ordered this, and it’s a great product! It came with a tuner, color stickers for the keys, and bold number/note labels. It also included a cheap green cloth that arrived wasn't properly prepared, it looked torn, realized it was left over from the corner of the cloth that was ment to by cut off. The case looks and feels like good quality, and it also came with a bag and a book with music to learn. The kalimba itself sounds very good and arrived in good condition. In my opinion, it’s made of cheaper wood (I’m not a wood expert), but it feels a bit low quality. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to any beginner, even with the small flaws. ## Features - High-quality Materials: Handmade with high-quality mahogany and ore steel bars, giving you a better sense of hearing, vision and touch. - Wonderful Sound: Without any music basis, you just move your thumb to get the wonderful music that delights your day long.Applicable: The best instrument for performance, recording, family, outdoor, school, party, and relaxation. - Study Guidance: With our professionally produced kalimba learning booklet, it introduces the use and performance method of kalimba in detail.QR Code to watch our video to learn as we guide you and communicate with you - Security Protection: EVA kalimba boxes can effectively protect kalimba regardless of performance or collection, preventing moisture, oxidation, scratches, falling, waterproofing and very easy to carry. - After-sales Service: If you are not satisfied with the musical instruments, please feel free to contact us at any time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079JJZXJ4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,552 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #7 in Thumb Pianos | | Body Material | Mahogany Wood | | Brand | Gecko | | Brand Name | Gecko | | Color | Maroon | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 9,359 Reviews | | Included Components | case | | Item Weight | 1.85 Pounds | | Manufacturer | GECKO | | Material | Alloy Steel, Mahogany Wood | | Model Name | K17M | | Model Number | K17MBR | | Part Number | 43237-106494 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 365. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gecko - **Color:** Maroon - **Item Weight:** 1.85 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Mahogany Wood - **Model Name:** K17M ## Images ![GECKO Kalimba 17 Keys Thumb Piano with Waterproof Protective Box, Tune Hammer and Study Instruction, Portable Mbira Sanza Finger Piano, Meditation Sound, Gift for Beginners and Professional - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71E1kxXe9WL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: My husband has arthritis. Would he have difficulty paying this?** A: Hi! I deal with a lot pain, stiffness and weakness in my hands due to rheumatoid arthritis. I love my Gecko Kalimba In Koa wood! I find that it’s not heavy and it’s easy to hold. It doesn’t require a strong muscle grip to hold a Kalimba it basically just sits in your hands and the fingers cradle it while it’s played with the thumbs- which in my case they can be very stiff with inflammation but it helps me to exercise them! I don’t have much strength in my hands but I can definitely play my Kalimba- :) I find that it melts stress away and surprisingly it helps with the stiffness caused by arthritis. It’s a dose of Happy with a side affect of relaxation and many smiles! I hope and pray the best for you and your husband. :) **Q: are the notess engraved on the key?** A: Yes, each key is engraved with the note and a number so you can play the kalimba if you read music or if you need a numbering system. **Q: I have no training in music. How steep will the learning curve with the Kalimba be?** A: I was in the same boat and that's why I got the Kalimba it's very easy to learn with no background in music. I assume you've watched all the videos on YouTube at some point as they are really helpful and inspiring. This is an excellent beginner Kalimba and it is beautiful and sound and comes perfectly tuned **Q: Does it come piano bag and songs book?** A: It comes in a real nice case and there are a few simple songs to learn on. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Kit with a Beautiful Instrument for an Amazing Price *by V***V on November 18, 2019* Beautiful wood, excellent kit.
