Beautiful piece, looks exactly as photographed. Feels lovely. Very handy little booklet to get you started... I'm new to the instrument! All elements feel great quality. Very much looking forward to many hours of practice with the lovely sound.

Love the Kalimba 8 Key mini Pianos & so easy to play. There is a good range of the 8 key pianos. We order a few of them for Xmas presents for grandchildren (2 and 4 yrs old)and their parents. Service was brilliant and staff responded so quickly to my query. Items arrived quickly, a rarity these days. I would certainly recommend purchasing the Kalimba 8 key pianos.

Thank you! Such good service, friendly staff and quick delivery! Came before expected and well packed and as advertised! Ok it was not the colour I ordered but that’s not too upsetting! Now it’s for me to learn to play tunes, but I love the peaceful sounds of the tongue drum. I would recommend your company to anyone wanting a similar musical instrument. Lynda White.

This was bought as a gift for my 22-yr-old daughter who is musically inclined. When she received it she was over the moon with excitement. She loves it. Thanks so much for the great service in positing it so fast. Will definitely buy from your business again.

I bought this to show my Yr9 Music students who are studying World Music. It was great to be able to give them a go at the instrument they had been listening to rather than just watching a video. It is a well constructed and beautiful looking instrument.

I haven’t actually used this yet as it is saved for a holiday project. If it is the same quality as the complete Kalimba that I also bought then I’m sure it will be great.

Order arrived promptly from store and items were of the quality indicated on the website and via photos. Handy instruction booklet and videos and music tabs available via the website to get me started. Great instrument for an amateur looking for something fun and easily portable.

Excellent communication via email from the team re my queries and then my order; streamlined physical collection; well-packed, as described and good value. I posted the box on as a gift, and it arrived intact. Having bought this for my musician brother's 60th, I asked him for some feedback: "My new steel tongue drum is visually pleasing and aurally accurate. Well-made, with sturdy construction, it looks and sounds beautiful, with accurate intonation. A joy to play… The two octaves design gives...

I'm so happy with my Kalimba it looks gorgeous and sounds amazing, with beautiful deep tones, but best of all is the exceptional customer service from Tiffany, she gives you the time of day with a smile, listens to you with any concerns or queries and gets things done very quickly, Thank You from a very happy customer.

A very beautiful instrument.. Thankyou for the thoughtful wrapping and cute little mini harmonica. I don’t comprehend the song book but I still love the sound and I’m happy to play my own way:)) this would make a beautiful gift!

It was an amazing experience working with the Little Kalimba Shop. They helped me to choose the right product. The kalimba itself was of high quality, nice packaging and it came with an extra little gift which was delightful. They went above and beyond to help me with picking up the order outside of the normal business hours. I would highly recommend purchasing from their lovely range of products.

This is a great little instrument, and I'm having fun learning its nuances. This is the first kalimba that I have, and I'm enjoying the challenge. I couldn't be happier with my choice, and expect to have many years of happiness using this instrument.

With no musical background at all, it was a great opportunity to be able to play a musical instrument. Only wish I know where to find more music to play with this limited range. Thank you.

I bought the Kalimba 17 / 21 Key Blue Ocean Whale Flat Board Maple with 17 tines. I didn’t understand the little book that came with it. It didn’t explain why the red stickers etc, so I am still confused, plus I don’t understand the instructions in it. I’ll re-read a few more times and see if it makes more sense. The Kalimba itself is lovely and the delivery was very quick. Would certainly purchase again from The Little Kalimba Shop.

The packaging is fantastic and the bag and extra's were great, but the pieces of wood that the metal bar sit on was not varnished! Wondered why, I want them to be varnished as they stand out so will do that myself as I am not paying to send it back. That is the only thing I noticed about the kalimba . Great instrument to play, soothing to listen to.

Not only is it beautifully created with the unique blue spicy and whale, using the kalimba is so much easier than I expected, the packaging and inclusions of some songs for beginners, is such a special treat.

The addition of this Tongue Drum to my other instruments is something I thought I would never use. They relaxing and calming to play. They are easy to understand with the numbered tongues and great to explore melodies. I got a pentatonic one and the kids love it. Nicely made, great metal finish and good carry-bag. It is something our family will continue to use for a long long time. Thank you.

Love love love my Lyre Harp! It is more than what I hoped it would be. I was looking for something meditative and ethereal and this is exactly that! Tuning is delicate but I expect will become easier with practice. Instructions are clear. I just shut my eyes and let my fingers find the story. Tiffany was so helpful. I strongly recommend.

I chose the steel tongue drum 14" 15 note D Major in gold. I could tell when it arrived that it had been very well packaged, and was in immaculate condition. The golden colour is beautiful and tones in well with my other golden sound healing tools. And, it sounds incredible, I've already had so much play time with it! I love that you can have it play rich and deep, or soft light and gentle. It has the perfect blend of dreamy bright and watery notes, with earthy woody notes too. Love it! And, the...

I purchased 2 of these smaller pieces for my youngest grand kids 8 & 10 for Christmas. So I cannot comment at this time, I did take one out of the box and had a go, I’m not very good, however my grandkids should be able to pick it up a lot quicker. It appears to be very well made.

Buying this drum is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have no musical talent but that has not stopped me playing. I under estimated how Good it would makes me feel. Get one for yourself 10 out of 10.

I am very impressed with the mini Kalimbas. I purchased several for gifts and all of the kids loved them. They have a lovely sound to them and as with previous purchases through the Little Kalimba shop they were beautifully packaged and arrived on time.

Lovely service from you all - received the harp in just a couple of days before Easter. Have managed to play some notes, Many thanks to Tiffany with the help with some music to get me started. As I had made my own harp I could not get it to the right tune so this is why I purchased the 7 string from Little Kalimba. Best regards. Eric Sutton.

Eunice Y.

An amazing instrument for an affordable price. The sound of this lyre harp is beautiful and clear. It's easy to change key signatures with the included tuning tool, it just might take you some time to adjust the strings to the perfect pitch. As someone with prior experience on the piano and guitar, 16 strings was great to start with. I can't speak for the other lyre harps with a smaller number of strings, but if you like to be able to pluck out a basic accompaniment with your melodies, I think t...

Again, Beautiful instrument... Definitely trickier to get a good sound out of than the Kalimba but I think, WORTH It. T'is always good to have a challenge and to need to practice and spend time developing skill. The rewards will far outweigh the effort. Tuning tool that comes with is easy to use and Apps give you accurate tuning quickly and easily. Love this too.

This Kalimba is a thing of great beauty in and of itself. I have this one in easy reach of anyone in the house and the tone and sound is beautiful even from people with little or no musical experience. If music is the language of the soul then the more easily accessible music can be the better. Love this instrument

I have received my tuner and strings and are learning to use the tuner, thank you all at little Kalimba and a special thank you to Tiffany who has given me great support with my orders. I will send you some photos when I can learn to put them on the computer, its hard at my age to learn this technical stuff. Another one for Tiffany = are you able to supply reads etc for the kalimba's ? as I would like to make a couple with my timber projects. Thank you again. Stay well. Regards. Eric Sutton.

Yana K.

I love the drum itself, it has a beautiful sound and a huge range of notes both low and high octave. Love that it comes with the drumstick holders. The sticks themselves and the finger rings I won't be using though. The sticks are too short and the rubber balls too hard/dense on both the sticks and finger rings which gives the drum quite a tinny sound. I've got some longer sticks with more pliable balls on the end and the sound is much nicer. Also some feedback about the music book, it's not a c...

Great sound and the pickup performs very well. There are screws to adjust the friction on the tuning pegs so they don't slip. These are not of good quality. The supplied screwdriver is not the correct size. Care is needed so the pegs do not rotate while screws are adjusted. The tuning peg design is good but is let down by some quality issues. This lyre is more expensive than many others but is worth the extra cost.

This is a present for our son for Christmas. I couldn't resist taking it out of the packaging to have a look and of course a play with it, beautiful tones. Delivery was quick.
