I bought a cheap kalimba and like to just sit on the ground plucking away while my dog "listens" next to me. Just think of all the relaxing bonding time I could be skipping if I had a "generate song" button on my computer...

Kalimbas are the greatest little instrument for just plinking around and having fun musical explorations! You can sit down and learn hard ... or you can just play around and see what cool little riffs you can come up with in an almost trance-like state.

Warning! You got a cheap kalimba. That's how I started. #5 was ... ah ... significantly more expensive...

I think I will be building my next one...this one was $45 and the high tines are pretty quiet and hard to pluck. I'd like to go down a half octave, too

I want to get a DIY kit to make a kalimba tuned to one of the Chinese pentatonic scales.

Oooohhh that'd be interesting! I don't know much about Chinese scales...which is sad....because I own a Zhonghu for some reason.

Respect. The whole huqin family is fiendishly difficult to play.
