Where can a person purchase a Mbira similar to that one? They seem to be difficult to find.

Good instructional video Erica. I would like to suggest another good tool for tuning mbira, that is the japanese nail set which you can get at Lee Valley Tools for about $8.50. and probably at The Japanese Woodworker. It has just enough weight to do the job, has a pointed end and is compact enough to put in your mbira bag ,,pants pocket etc.. Erica i look forward to more mbira video's from you.

Thanks for this nice simple demo ... I've always wondered if I'm bending the key in the right place
