Kalimba 17 Keys Cute Cat Acrylic Thumb Piano Mbira Transparent Keyboard Finger Piano Gifts for Kids and Adults Beginners (TF-17C)

This is a beautiful sounding instrument and lovely to look at. I recommend picking one up for yourself and a friend. It's so peaceful to play and cat shaped too. Just get one ♥

After listening to many kalimba videos, I decided on this one because to me, it has just the right soothing, twinkling, and pleasant pitch and sound that I was looking for. I was pleased to see that this kalimba wasn't as thick as I thought it might be (no shape shaming intended, hold your triggers), I was worried it would be too heavy or thick for my small hands. The set comes with everything for a beginner to learn how to play and has a cleaning rag to keep it looking its best.I love the reactions I've received while playing this, mainly because it has made people smile and in some cases, calmed those that are stressed. Thank you, Treelf, for making such an enchanting little musical instrument!

I was hoping to find a round acrylic kalimba with 21 keys, but this was the only acrylic one I could find at all that had 21 instead of 17. It arrived out of tune and with all the tines slanted to the left (like ///// instead of ||||| ) so it took me a little while to get everything where it should be. There was also a bit of residue on a few places and the finish is a bit off on one of the tines. The residue cleaned right off and the tine plays just fine, so it's cosmetic. That said:PROS- It has a nice, solid feel while playing. The placement of the cat ears makes it easy to rest your fingers against them for support.- The sound is clear and dreamy with a long sustain. Definitely the most "music box" sounding kalimba.- So far it's held the tuning quite well even after extended play time and travel.CONS- For some it may be a little too heavy to play for long periods, especially if you have joint pains already.- The extra keys make the instrument wider, so it may be awkward for those with smaller hands.- It comes prepared to be played in the key of F Major (sticker notes/numbers align to that key). I re-tuned mine to C Major by raising the Bb keys to B, but there are no stickers to adjust for this and you have to keep a mental note of the change because your numbers won't line up for tabs.Overall I'm happy with it. If you plan to play songs on it that are meant for a 17-key kalimba, you may have to get creative with some of your crossovers but it's completely doable.

The media could not be loaded.  The solid acrylic base is thick and heavy compared to the wooden (and hollow) equivalent, but it is smooth and fits well into my hands (Plus I think I prefer the weight). Easy to play + sounds soft and sweet :)

First of all, I love the size. It's perfect for my larger hands. Also, I love the weight. it is heavier than a hollow or flatboard kalimba. All the engraved keys sound great, even the very high ones. It is somewhat quieter than other kalimba's. This works great when I'm playing while my wife watches her cooking shows. I have many kalimba's (It's a sickness 🤣) but this is the one that is usually sitting next to me. I would say that it is every bit as good as my LingTing 21 key.

Bought this for my 15 year old. She absolutely loves it. She hasn't put it down since. She put the stickers on it and has been playing it ever since. She absolutely loves it and it's been so easy for her to learn.

I absolutely love the kalimba! Great for beginners and the sound is absolutely beautiful, also a good gift for birthdays 10/10

I usually absolutely love the Treelf Kalimbas, but was a bit disappointed with this one. The highest tine is dead. This is not typical of Treelf. They are usually very high quality.

Tiene excelente calidad de sonido

The media could not be loaded.  It is very crisp and sounds different than the normal wood kalimbas. I played it and it actually sounds better in reality.My only complaint is that I needed to adjust 18-19 keys out of 21 because most of them were out of tone when arrived

I absolutely love the tone of this. It’s not loud but it’s so delicate in sound. All note resonate beautifully. The sound is clean and soft. I also have a hollow body to compare it to. It’s so beautiful. Absolutely no regrets. Hard to put it down.

No dead keys

Très beau son, facile à jouer et très jolie.
