Review: Beautiful instrument, well made, beautiful sound - Bought as a gift for my boyfriend who is into sampling sounds to create digital pieces. He’s a musician with lots of expensive digital technology and equipment but always messes around with this Kalimba. It’s got a beautiful sound, feels very well made, and is easy to use. Great value for the price, and feels good quality. It’s pretty self explanatory to use, and offers an interesting authentic sound.
Review: Sounds as good as it looks - Very good. Well packaged, clear instructions, sweet and clear sound.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come pre-tuned? (At least close)**
A: Mine came tuned and ready to play 🙂
I had been mentally practicing a song the week before I bought it and when it came in, I played and the notes where all tuned nice ☺️

**Q: Does it come with sheet music?**
A: Yes, the seller will send you an email with a link to two PDF files. One Song Book and one Beginners Book. You will need to print them out if you want the actual sheet music.

**Q: Does this kalimba comes with a carrying case with a separate compartment for the tuning hammer of some sort?**
A: My Kalimba did not come with any carrying case other than the velveteen pouch (cozy for it to rest but not safe to travel with it's tuning hammer).

**Q: Sizes of the piano?**
A: not sure if the 17 and 21 key are the same size, but the 17 key is 5.5 inches wide at its widest point, 7 inches long, and about 3 inches thick (that's a combo of the body and the protruding keys)

This product came in as a very good quality product. You can see that quality wood has been used and it looks great.
