Kiaat Wood Box-Mounted 15 Note Acoustic Electric Kalimba

The moment this kalimba arrived at my door I knew I had made a purchase I would not regret. A month or so later that has held true. I love the sound, the way it feels in my hand... it arrived very quickly, packaged well, and is of great quality. My friends are always impressed by the ability to plug my kalimba into an amp - a very useful tool for a recording artist like myself. I'd say go for it if you're considering an alto kalimba! You'll be glad you went with Hugh Tracey.

Not as shown in the picture. The wood is darker... Or World Music Instruments lied to me and told me I received the correct one. Either way, 2 stars

Hugh Tracey kalimbas are very well made. This particular alto kalimba is about as good as it gets. The box is fairly large in comparison to the treble kalimba, it resonates very well. The steel tines on the alto kalimbas are also significantly bigger, which seems like a good thing to me. The size and spacing of the tines on this kalimba make it easy to play even relative to other thumb pianos.The internal mic works adequately. It sounds fantastic amplified, except for a couple of the highest notes which don't get picked up.

Nice sound and still holding its tone

It is lovely.. Good quality. I`m very fascinated and recommend everyone to buy from this seller! thanks a lot! :)

Beautiful sound from this truly amazing instrument!
