Monica Zara D.

It was fast transaction, the package was sealed properly with tight bubble wrap for security which is actually an effort coz it’s my first receiving a package with that kind of security with the product. SALUTE! in regards to the product. It’s not in tuned when i got it, and some engraved letters on the wood are not visible. But all in all!!! SUPERB!!! Trustworthy seller with quality products!

Anna A.

I REALLY love my new Kalimba! It is the most beautifully crafted Kalimba I own and the quality of the Rosewood is incredible! The first thing I noticed out of the box is the weight — it is SOLID. Definitely heavier than a previous Kalimba I owned that was of similar design... but they are of different wood types so I’m sure that’s to be factored in. The tines sound amazing and are slightly on the stiffer side — but that’s okay cause I’ve had NO problems or discomfort plucking it, despite that. ...

Chris M.

If you are are going to have a Kalimba, I would definitely recommend the stand. It displays the instrument beautifully and keeps it easily accessible. The velvet, padded edges is a nice touce. It prevents the Kalimba's beautiful, shiny finish from being skuffed or scratched.

Chris M.

This is a beautiful instrument! Looks and sounds exactly as advertised. It sounds bright and clear and is very easy to learn to play. It is much more portable than my acoustic guitar and can be played at nearly the same volume. I'm looking forward to playing it around the camp fire.

10/10 perfect! Made very well, colors and sound is amazing, perfectly tuned. Looks exactly like pictures yet even prettier in person. Shipping was very fast too! Would make a great gift with all the little things that came in the case. Haven’t tried to learn any songs yet but just plucking away is fun and beautiful sounding.

I super love it! I love the rainbow reflections on my new Kimi Kalimba. It’s also lighter and the tines are not that hard compared to (my) old one. Plus it will look more classy and expensive when you decorated it! Thanks for the quick delivery and for the great customer service. I’m lucky, I came across and discovered your website. Can’t wait to purchase more kalimbas in addition to my collections.

Very beautiful kalimba, good sound, no dead tines and barely needed any tuning :) I have a gecko wood kalimba already, this sounds more bright and a bit quieter compared to it, like a music box! Includes a really nice case for it, and was delivered fast, recommended!

Arrived very quickly - beautiful and it sounds great, didn't even need to tune it when it arrived. Pictures don't do the rainbow that the acrylic casts out in sunlight justice. Very happy with this, and I'm super excited to learn things on it.

I am so happy with my purchase! It is so beautiful. Someone got me a gecko kalimba last year but I didn’t use it that much. When I got this, I can’t stop using it. I like the gentle tone and how beautiful this kalimba is!!!

Everything in order was very good with fast shipping!!! 😃 The sound of kalimba is beautiful, but the tuning system is very bad for my opinion! I found the way how to tune it, but this is still difficult...

Purchased the Seeds Chromatic 34 Key Kalimba (C-Tuned). I love this! It is very well made and beautiful to look at. It has great sound and came in tune. I regret that I did not purchase the stickers for the tines and I had to write them down using a Sharpie. But I will be ordering the stickers. My order arrived within 7 business days of purchase.

Ordered the Seeds Double Layer (24 Keys) Kalimba . It is "C Tuned". It is very beautifully made. It's perfectly tuned and I will have hours and hours of fun playing and learning.

Puddles T.

I love my new 34-key, C-tuned kalimba! It was surprisingly light but that may just be because it was compared to a wood x resin kalimba that I bought alongside it. All the tines resonate beautifully and the sound of a glissando on this kalimba is unforgettable. The highest tines on either side of the chromatic scale are a bit iffy but they still sound good. The only issue I encountered was my 1** tine buzzing but I believe I fixed it by gently nudging it upwards with my finger. It is a bit diffi...

海外からなので楽しみでした。。しかし開けてみると汚れや傷など色々ありました。新品のはずなのに残念です。音は控えめでスピーカーに繋ぐと素晴らしい音が出ます。柔らかい音でした。高い買い物だったので残念な事もありましたがとても気に入っています。カリンバの性能は大満足パーフェクトです！！ライトも色変わるしスピーカーも以外と音が良かったですありがとうございました。

Sorry for in Japanese please use Google translate. 日本から注文しました。入荷に少し時間がかかったようですが問い合わせにもきちんと答えていただける業者でした。このカリンバの良い点は音色がすばらしいことです。ダイキャストで一体鋳造された固定金具は堅牢で、やや重量がありますが音質を考えたら納得のいくものです。また、2段式のカリンバなのに下の段のチューニングも簡単で、ペンチで引き抜く必要がありません。2台目にちょっといいカリンバを探している方にお勧めです。

I am absolutely in love with this seeds 34 key kalimba. I’ve had it for around 2 weeks or so and I love it. This is my third one and by far the best. The tines are very soft when playing and are very rich in tone. No stiff or dead tines. It comes with a book with some easy music to play, along with a tuning hammer, a tremolo chain, and hard case. Its so nice not having to constantly retune your kalimba, because a lot of the pieces I play have accidentals (sharps, etc) in them. Coming from someo...

undefined review of GECKO 17 Note Kalimba Solid Camphor wood | B Major image 1 out of 1

Anna A.

This is a very beautiful kalimba! I noticed Gecko now puts a nice reddish stain or varnish on the wood to give it nice gloss and color to it! I haven’t ever seen this in any YT videos that reviews this specific kalimba nor in any photos of it, so this is a wonderful surprise! I own 3 different Kalimba brands and I had to try out the tines of the Gecko! It’s wider than most kalimba tines, so this is PERFECT for an absolute beginner, people with larger fingers to prevent accidental plucking of tin...

Love my new 10-Key Gecko Kalimba. It's tiny and has a beautiful tone! It's much smaller than 17-Key Gecko solid Camphor wood Kalimba and the keys are more narrow. It's like mother and a baby. Love them both!

Im so happy to finally recieve such a cute kalimba. Ive been debating to get one for 3 months now, and im so glad that I decided to take the chance. Im actually a newbie at playing this instrument, and I was really surprised at how easy it is to play tunes. The sound is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of a delicate music box. Packaging is great and comes with a carrying case, mini hammer, labeling stickers, mini booklet, cloth, and a thank you card. All in all I'd definetly recommend!♡

I've been looking to get into learning the kalimba for some time now and when I saw this rainbow Kimi I was completely in love. It is super easy to play and the sound quality although softer than I expected, was very clear in sound. Very similar to the sounds of a music box ☺️ I am beyond happy with my first purchase and already looking forward to getting another one after I get better.

Kathy S.

I love my Seeds chromatic kalimba! I am fairly new to the world of kalimbas but I quickly became frustrated with the limitations of my other instruments. I wanted to play a wider variety of music, including songs with sharps, flats, and notes below middle C. Most chromatic 34-key kalimbas cost $250 USD and up. As a beginner, I was not ready to invest that much money in my new hobby. When I saw the Seeds kalimba and read a few reviews, I knew that I had to have it. At its current price ($108 wi...

I really liked Kalimba although there is something to complain about) I will start with the fact that after the payment I received the parcel only after 38 days and only the transport companies are to blame for this! The seller himself is very responsive and always kept in touch with me. Kalimba: the paintwork is not perfect, there are small bumps; there are burrs in the depth of the metal frame, but they are simply not visible, and they do not interfere with the game, so it is not so critica...

Amanda C.

I love this Dual kalimba! I am really big on the grain of different woods and how unique it can make an instrument look so I was overcome with delight when I opened my dual and saw the feathering pattern in the wood. It shines when you tip the kalimba back and forth and gives the illusion of movement. The picture doesn’t do it justice, it’s just so lovely. The sound it makes is soft and calming. I have a noisy house with dogs and kids and its so nice to be able to toss in my ear buds and just he...

Taleah D.

My first full size Kalimba, I’ve previously played the thumb size Kalimba but figured it was time for an upgrade. This has a beautiful melodic sound, and I was able to pick it up right away. Smooth sleek design, with no sound hole, but that doesn’t effect the sound one bit. Comes with a sturdy protective case, along with a tuner hammer which is extremely helpful to manipulate the sound range of your Kalimba. So far so good, and can’t wait to learn more about it. Thank you so much!

This kimi kalimba is so beautiful, you can totally see the rainbow effect! It came with all that was pictured and The black box with the authentic stickers. (as seen in photo) It came with a thank you note and cute resin sakura stickers to decorate that goes with the gold kimi logo. The Kimi logo looks nice and has some depth to it. I know there was a reddit post saying that they were selling fake kalimbas, but this here is not the case! 100% recommend this kalimba and shop!

So, I had been eyeing this kalimba for a while. I LOVE cats and couldn’t resist the adorable cat design of this one!!! I am SO happy to have this one after putting it off so long! The wood board is very thick, has a semi-glossy shine and has a slightly heavy feel in the hands. I have the bear version of this kalimba too and the wood on this one is thicker and heavier than the bear one. I also love the contrasting look of the dark and light colored woods put together (I forget which wood it is......
