Great song. The kalimba sounds great, good job. Try one, same design, but bigger, with the tines from the rake. You can make soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bassssssssssssssssssss kalimbas.
@bad1marius - Cool! I'd like to try and make some of my own one of these days.
That's such better sound than I'd expected from a solid piece of wood. Good work brotha! Do you plan on making more? And, did you actually tune it with a tuner or did you just adjust it by ear?
@zburnight if the wood is harder the vibrations produced by the metal aren't absorbed by it. that's a good thing if you want to make a electric kalimba with a piezo, or you can play it on a box or a table, the sound amplifies :D i wass planing to make it electric but i didn't had enough time to finish it, because i gave it as a gift to someone close to me :D. Of course i tuned it, with a chromatic tuner, in C major. I wanted it to be little and simple, for begginers.

If you tuned it, what is the tuning you used?

It is amazing that such music can be made with so few notes.
