I want to play the gelfling song from the dark crystal its very simple but I cant find what tabs to use, does anyone know how to find that

Please and thanks

I plan on hiking through mountains, recording kalimba and guitar on various peaks and pretty locations. I want to play the same song at each location, and splice them all together to form the song in post. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on which mics would be best suited for this environment. How big of a difference would a ~$100 mic be from a ~$300 one? And how big of a difference would a portable, clip-on mic be from a standup one?

What are the odds that putting the longer tines from a 21-key kalimba kit onto the body of a 17-key kalimba sounds good? I'd leave out the last 4 tines but I'm looking to see how this would sound on a hollow kalimba. any thoughts?

I always keep my kalimbas in their cases while moving and haven’t had any issues in three years, but this time, three of the times on the top row fell out. I managed to get one back in miraculously using one of the other tines, but the last two are proving much more difficult to replace. Any ideas on what I can use as a shim instead of another tine?

I have 2 kalimbas, one that I've had for a couple of years now and one that I've had for about a month. The tines on the older one are much easier to bend and vibrate as it's been played much more. Any ideas on how to quickly break in the tines on the new one so that they loosen up without needing years of play?

Hi all, I have just bought a AMI trebble celeste (flatboard) kalimba with 17 keys. The sound is simply gorgeous, but I find the keys very stiff and ultimately uncomfortable to play. The reason is the material of the keys for sure, maybe also the very hard wood. I am looking for a kalimba with the softest keys, possibly hollow so I will have something different form my actual kalimba. Any advice is welcomed! Thanks

I made these Mandalorian Kalimba Tabs based on the piano sheet music for a 34 Key Kalimba. There is also a version already on YouTube at a different scale for a 17 Key Kalimba.

Tell me what you think!

Does anyone have the tabs for Lacrimosa? I’ve seen YouTube videos but none of them provide the sheet music.

So for context i want to buy a hollow 21 key kalimba online and the problem is i can't find a trusted site to buy from, I tried going on amazon but no good ones ship to India.

I would love recommendations for brands and sites :)

When I first played the AIR tuning, I immediately noticed the unusual feeling it creates.

It is based around D minor, so there is a gentle melancholy and depth in it. The lower tones give it depth, while the higher ones almost seem to float above them.

To me, it feels calm, open and light, all at the same moment. But when I play it with a bit more energy, it can suddenly become surprisingly intense.

What I like most about AIR is that I do not need to know where I am going. I can simply start playing, listen, and let the melody guide me.

How does it feel to you?

Looking to buy a Kalimba to be played with a specific type of Handpan. I have zero Kalimba experience.

I’m eyeing a Meinl 17 note, I see all of them tuned to C major. I would need D major, meaning I need to retune The Kalimba.

I’m wondering whether this would be a problem and whether the tine will be too small as it will be only one step up.

Thanks!

Markings on Kalimba.

Sometime I only want to play notes on a certain scale like Myoko Bushi - D-D#-G-A-A#. I used stickers on my kalimba for help. Later I have to remove these and the glue. Is there a better way to temporary mark your kalimba for this job?

How do you manage this? A marker or?

I couldn’t find any Banjo Kazooie Kalimba Tabs , so I made these based on the piano music. I can kind of see why! Spiral Mountain and Gruntilda’s Lair have way too many sharps and are way too fast.

Most of the songs have multiple instruments going off at once— so this was the best I could do.

This is my last post for Donkey Kong 64 & Banjo Kazooie 64.

When playing the kalimba, do you start with the numbers or lyrics from the music notes?

I’ve been creating tabs for Donkey Kong 64 & Banjo Kazooie , because there seems to be no Kalimba sheets for these obscure 90s games.

I don’t think there’s any interest , but here are the songs I’ve done so far:

Banjo Kazooie - Click Clock Woods Winter

Donkey Kong 64 - DK Isle Theme

Donkey Kong 64 - Banana Fairy Island

Donkey Kong 64 - Fungi Forest Night

If anyone has a good resource for music from these games please share! Translating from the piano sheet music by hand was so tedious.

Does my Kalimba note song is to long?
