I really like it. I learned to play it pretty quickly already. Relatively easy to tune. Only problem was that a couple keys were a little stiff sounding. Overall super cute and came pretty quickly.

I’m so happy. The drum is just what I expected and it came in a week. Now I get to learn, experiment and enjoy it! I have a small group of drummers that I play with. One of them has a large hand pan. I’m looking forward to getting together and having fun.

This is my first kalimba after practicing with someone else's box-style kalimba for awhile. I am so impressed with the beautiful sound this one makes. It was still mostly in tune when it arrived, and there are no dead tines. It also looks beautiful and I love the unique shape. I find it comfortable but that might depend on how you personally hold your kalimba. I'm definitely happy with my choice!

I am enjoying learning the kalimba and am so pleased I bought the Lingting 17 key. Every tine has a beautiful sound. The Lingting box is beautiful and the case is great as it protects the kalimba. All the extras that came with it make it excellent value for money.

My Gecko Kalimba arrived in a well protected package. It is a beautiful instrument Within the first 10 minutes after opening it, I was able to play the C major scale.. I look forward to learning and playing some of my favorite songs on this amazing instrument. Thank you for your great service.

I LOVE it! So beautiful. Plays beautiful. Just had to tune it a bit as expected, but with the tool provided, its fairly easy :) i’ve been looking for a smaller harp-type thing for a while and finally came across this gem! Also, great costumer service. I accidentally ordered too many of one item and they responded and canceled it immediately! And when i ordered more stuff they made sure it was intentional. Zero stress. Packages came sooner than expected as well! A pleasant surprise. Five stars fo...

Excellent customer service. This Blue/Purple Cat Kalimba sounds great for the price. Great for beginers like my daughter to hear the crisp, warm, yet loud enough to keep her interested in playing music. You may need to tune the keys to the exact notes. Highly recommended!

Very high quality kalimba. 3rd octave sounds clean and the tines are thick and comfortable to play. The bag and other accessories are high quality as well. Very happy with my Ling Ting kalimba!

I am new to kalimba having only seen a video of someone playing it 1 time. It is a beautiful instrument, the sound is lovely and the book makes learning easy. Definitely a great purchase.

Sounds beautiful!! Keys feel nice and do not need much force to play. The box feels a little light, and I worry a little bit about the sturdiness, but it resonates so nicely!

Love the color. Love the feel, love the sound. My only complaint is that it came with the American numerals instead of the Chinese characters on the tongues. Thank you, and I look forward to shopping with you again.

Diana T.

Beautiful. The body has no raised ridges between the transition of wood and epoxy. Has a bit of weight compared to hollowed kalimba. Tines resonate well but is very soft (won't hear it well outside or in crowded setting). I darkened the tines so I can read it better. Best of all, there was no dead or stiff tines.

At the post office, parcels are treated very carelessly, it is surprising that this device remained intact. Everything works, copes with its task)

Celine K.

The tines are twice the width of standard kalimba tines (April Yang kalimba on top for comparison), which makes it very easy to play and an excellent choice for beginners or people with large fingers. Notes and numbers came engraved on tines at request. The K17MAP is the same looking Kalimba as the 17CAP. The only difference is the wood is mahogany instead of camphor, so there is no camphor scent and the sound is also a little deeper than the camphor one. It produces a very soft, warm, mellow...

Ytzel R.

This is my first time ever ordering a kalimba and I got to say it's so beautiful and amazing. The only thing is as you can see, it looks absolutely nothing like the picture. it's definitely a hluru kalimba but that's about it. the color nor the shape is what I was expecting in the mail, funny thing is the only thing accurate to what's advertised is the tassle and all the accessories it says it comes with. So this is why I will give it 4 stars since of course I was expecting the kalimba to look d...

Received it a lot faster than I expected and I absolutely love it. It plays beautifully and comes with guides/ instructions with a tool to tune it and a lot of other things to care for your instrument. Base is completely clear and there isn’t a single imperfection in what i assume is the transparent acrylic base. Beautiful worth the purchase!

Brandi S.

Absolutely love it!! This is my first kalimba and I adore it, it was mostly in tune too except for five tines I had to tune but that was easy to do! It arrived quickly too which was great, and when I reached out to the seller when I had issues with DHL saying they were delivering to the wrong address they replied to my email within an hour saying it would be taken care of so amazing customer service on top of a great product.

It was delivered within a week, in good condition, everything was in there that should be in there. It is easy to play, I have small hands and have no problem holding the Kalimba. I am familiar with the piano and play by ear as well as music sheets so I played little Star within 10 minutes. Very easy. The sound is beautiful. If you run yous finger nail across all the tynes at once, from one end to the other, it sounds like a harp..just beautiful. The only draw back is I have 2 dead keys. The ou...
