  1. C***e

    Quality kalimba. I recommend 100%

  2. N***e

    beautiful, sounds amazing, the smell is wonderful, everything arrived perfectly, thinking about buying another one

  3. D***d

    The product arrived faster than expected, I’m very satisfied with the shipping time. The instrument came in a tight and careful packaging, with all of it’s accessories. The camphor scent is amazing, keys are in tune, no dead tines. Sounds very pleasant. Great choice for a first kalimba. Also, big thumbs up for the engraved keys! I thought they’ll be regular, blank ones like on the photo.

  4. R***t

    I recommend it, sounds great.

  5. A***h

    Good sound, extreme keys sound good, excellent. Set to B-Major well. Easily learned. The smell is present, it smells more like packing than kalimba herself. Thank you!

  6. P***t

    Just like I ordered and well packaged. Excellent!

  7. A***n

    The kalimba has very nice wood fragrance out of the box, don’t know how long will it last. The key is B tuning and also has nice sound with C tuning as well. Satin finish touch.

  8. V***a

    Magic Sound, qualitatively made.

  9. I***a

    The quality is excellent. Already tuned. Very pleasantly smells of camphor, the first time out of the box is very strong, then weaker.

  10. L***a

    Kalimba arrived in perfect condition, and besides this instrument has a smell of eucalyptus super good.
