We love our Sound Harbor 17-Key Kalimba. The tone is exquisite, the size fits easily in child or adult hands, and the appearance is that of a serious instrument. In addition to the Kalimba itself, the package included both an instruction booklet and a booklet of songs with which to practice. There was also a cloth bag for storing and transporting the instrument, a pair of finger-tips for easier playing, a cleaning cloth, labels to identify the keys (if the stamped-in labels are hard to read) and even a tuning mallet. This instrument is easy to play and great for small gatherings or personal enjoyment. We're delighted with this very giftable addition to our musical collection. Read more

Easy to learn on and definitely fun to play! The quality was great and the color was exactly as pictured if not more beautiful! I got this as a gift for my niece! It was a great size for her hands and not too hard for her to play! Great value! Read more

I don't know much about kalindas but I do know a little something about wooden instruments, and for its size and price, this one is perfectly fine. It's got a nice heft, all the seams are smooth and tight, and it resonates, well...decently. Especially on the higher tones, that is, the short keys, one has to pluck them pretty hard to get a good sound out of them, but it's easy enough with just a little practice. And the tones that one does get are true and pleasant--all the keys arrived correctly tuned so the instrument was ready to play out of the box. Clearly this isn't a "professional grade" musical instrument, but for a little noodling at home, it's an excellent value. Read more

Slightly smaller than I though but not a big deal. Easy to handle, however it gets 4 stars because of the lack of depth to the tones. Compared to my flat board kalimba it sounds tinny and sort of buzzy. Not a bad deal but if you want a rich sounding tone a flat board is the way to go. Buy one. Try it. Read more

This was a great purchase and has become my handheld tactile addiction. The sound is gorgeous, even if you don't know how to play. It's great for tuning other instruments or "thumbing" a cute melody over a busy work desk. A few minutes of play really brightens your mood and environment. I can't express how pleasing the sound is - and loud, for such a small tool. Definitely don't let your children get a hold of this unless you want your home filled with absolute melodic delight 24/7. I brought it on a family trip and my (adult) relatives quite literally fought over their turns to play it. I ended up repurchasing one for a family member. Read more
