This kalimba is so beautiful. Plays very nicely and the sound is so pure! My first ever kalimba, will not be the last. Shipping was very fast too.

The sound is a little less warm and a little more like a music box, which is ethereal. It came tuned well and with all the necessary accessories. It's heavier than a 17 key and feels amazing to hold. And it shipped very quickly! Thank you!

It looks and sounds beautiful! I used washi tape because I’m a beginner and decorated it. I’m having a lot of fun learning with this Kalimba! Thanks so much!

This kalimba is so beautiful! Nicely weighted, and came perfectly tuned! It glows rainbow even in low light, I am so in love!

Bought without doing any research, and although it did arrive with the four lowest keys out of tune, WOW, I just love the deep, rich, resonant sound! Plus, the keys are smoothly finished, making it a real pleasure to play. I am very happy with my purchase, and can recommend this kalimba without reservation. I can't seem to put it down because it sounds beautiful and feels so good to play.

I had some delay because of the delivery's company and bad communication. But thanks to them, they communicated with them to deliver it to me as fast as possible. I was able to get it and I am really happy. I was worried it would be "too quiet" as people say, but it's just enough!! The fact that it's not super loud make it even more relaxing. I really recommend it, I'm having a lot of fun playing, especially on rainy days, it feels magical.

Came beautifully unscathed and intact! Sounds beautiful and is perfect to hold comfortably in my small hands. The cloth is very nice for cleaning and the stickers stay on tightly but you can still remove them if you want to in the future. I was worried the bag was going to feel cheap but it isn't! The hammer is sturdy and the booklet to get started is great for beginners.

Amazing, I love it so much. The sound is much louder than an acrylic Kalimba and the tines are easily plucked.

I received the drum quite fast. It has a nice weight to it, and the color is beautiful. The case is really well made and helps me carry my drum around easily. I love the sound of the drum, although some of the notes don't sound as well, but generally speaking it sounds beautiful and I am able to play easily.

Made well and box was sturdy. I did not know what the colored paper was for. I guess that they dangle from the bottom, but I do not know how to attach them.

undefined review of Tremolo Chain & Tessel & Finger Protector For Kalimba image 1 out of 1

Emanuëlle C.

I have no complaint for the thumb protectors and the chain. I love the magnets on the chain, it stays in place! However the tassel's ropes (for tying to the kalimba) are uneven which makes the installation awkward. Other than that, very beautiful tassel and a good cost for this whole set!

It arrived packaged with my Kalimba. Kind of weird to have them open up my Kalimba from its original packaging and put it inside a separate product. This has led to me not receiving a tuning hammer with my Kalimba, I believe.

This drum was recommended to me by my music teacher. He’s going to teach me how to play it. I ordered the blue one and it’s even more beautiful in person. It comes with a set of mallets and a little song book. I can play some of the songs already. I do want lessons though because on my own I won’t progress.

I own many Kalimba's from more than a few manufactures. Each one has it's own voice, strengths, and weaknesses. But they all are kind of like cookies I never met one I didn't like. This Hluru Kalimba straight out of the box has a tone, sustain, and a beauty to it that I find amazing. It's like listening to singers, they are all pretty good or at least ok but this one has talent. I couldn't be happier with this Hluru Kalimba...

Beautiful kalimba, unbeatable lingting quality. I have the C tone but this B tone is so beautiful to play! And all the accessories are a nice bonus, along with the great price, superb customer service, and fast shipping - thank you, Gokalimba!

Judy M.

This is my favorite kalimba. The wood is beautiful and it's a joy to hold and look at. The tines have a beautiful, celestial bell like tone to them and even the highest tines have a clear resonating tone. The sound is instantly calming and gorgeous. I'm so glad Gokalimba had these available - superb quality, great price and super quick shipping. And thank you, May, for your helpful response in answering all my questions - great company to purchase kalimbas from!

Bronwen J.

Shipping was super fast, it came to the UK in 5 business days so I was really pleased with that! It's easy to play and sounds lovely. Only thing is that there is a mark on one of the tines that won't come off and the highest tine has a slightly dull sound. But otherwise, I'm really pleased with the purchase.

This tuner is great! Very few tuners out there with a clamp that can open wide enough to fit onto a hollow Kalimba. This one does, and it is a solid tuner. Very simple to use and it works well.

Beautiful kalimba and very resonant. Packing was very, very good. My only complaint is that no sticker for tines came with this purchase which would’ve been nice. Would’ve preferred it more than the tremolo chain

The product is of high quality and matched my expectation. It is well worth the price. It looks and sounds exactly the same as the one in the youtube video. I highly recommend this one if you are looking for a tank drum. Note on the video: my cat fell asleep while I was trying the product. 😹

The hollow lingting in A has a beautiful wood pattern and is the best hollow kalimba I have ever played! The tines sound beautiful and all resonate clearly. So glad Gokalimba has these available. And May was so very helpful in showing me the tone of this kalimba! I love this lingting. It is the very best!

Dixie C.

I was super excited to receive this kalimba! It comes with a bunch of nice accessories including a hardshell case. It’s absolutely beautiful and has a stellar sound...except for the dead tine :-/ I have tried a few things to get the tine to resonate but to no avail. The only option I have left is to return the entire kalimba to see if that fixes the issue. I was quite sad about this because it’s such a good quality, I expected no issues. And it was so expensive I can’t really afford to do anythi...

It has a fine sound, seems strong and durable. It comes with tuning tools and carrying cases and comes with thorough instructions explaining tuning, and how to play and care for the instrument. I am impressed.
