MIFOGE Mini Kalimba Thumb Piano 8Keys Wooden,Exquisite Finger Piano with Lanyard Waterproof Protective Box,Musical Instrument,Gift for Toddler Kid Child Valentines Adult Beginners

This little instrument really holds its tune! When I received it, it was completely out of tune… normal for something like this… and with one of the tuning hammers from my full-size kalimbas, I hammered the tines into tune. That was about a month ago, and the tines on this little kalimba are still in tune! I am very impressed! It comes inside a cute little case, with a lanyard, so you can wear it like a necklace. It does not come with a tuning hammer. You would have to buy one separately, or use one from another kalimba. It’s sturdy, made of solid wood, and the wood is very nicely polished. This would make a great gift for a child, or use it yourself when you’re feeling bored standing in line… it’s very quiet, so it won’t bother anyone around you. It might attract some curious attention, though. The price is great, it’s a cute, well-made little kalimba. Since this is only 8 tines, your musical repertoire will be severely limited, but it’s nice for fun. My other two kalimbas are top brand names and professional quality, with 34 and 36 tines, so I have some good comparisons to draw from in giving this review. I think this is a great buy! If you are new to kalimbas, this is a great little thing to introduce yourself to the kalimba playing method and sound!

Som é puro e bem temperado.

شكله حلوو بس صوته غير عن الكبير

Impressive Quality. Super good price. They were on sale for $5, so I bought one for each of my 7 grandkids. This one comes with a very nice, durable protective case. That’s what sold me on this particular one. It also comes with a long string necklace, which seems like a nice way to help keep it from getting dropped and lost while playing it. There’s also a short piece of dog tag type chain if you prefer securing it to a back pack or purse. The music it makes, is not loud when played by fingers. One of my adult sons pointed out, that the keys were too close for him to be able to play it with his big fingers. I’m hoping my 12 year old, (the only serious musician), will make a simple music book, so the rest of the kids, can learn to play some serious music on these awesome little instruments.

Really like the unit in general and the packaging is very nice. It's difficult to see the engraved finger (key) numbers, and I would rate the overall sound as okay. Low volume, but to be expected from a miniature.
