amazing stuff man, i have a 7 tine coconut shell kalimba and its very limited in its music that it can play, i was hoping to get a 15 tine instrument, but the cost of a beautifully crafted model hinders me, i guess ill have to save up, i checked out ur website, amazing instruments there, but very expensive, oh well great stuff keep jamming.
I own a $1000 Martin Guitar, a $1000 Gibson Mandolin, and a $100 Hugh Tracey kalimba. They are all equally wonderful. The price you pay for the good instruments is generally worth it. -Mark
I'm listening to your magnificent talent RIGHT NOW as I write this, and I HAVE TO TELL you that your playing and Kalimba are so utterly SIMPLE, CHARMING, NON-COMMERCIAL AND NON-ELECTRIC, innocent and beautiful, that it brought me to tears. I get crazy nostalgic & sentimental at the holidays, and your gift has made it easier on me, especially with my Mom dying last year. KEEP UP THE MAGNIFICENT WORK, God Bless and THANK YOU for making me so happy
I am with BigHrdB totally on this! Acoustic and raw, simple yet so refined -- allowing the wood and other materials to sound naturally through your creative touch. Great delighting in your marvelous videos!
This is a Treble, usually in G and starting on the 3rd, B. I have retuned it to start on Bflat and have repainted to tines to match the ALTO's tines (at least in terms of relative intervals from the root, not in terms of absolute pitch) - the ALTO is my native kalimba.
Man, I am SO glad I am not interested in playing this style because after hearing this I would surely quit. : ) You make it look so darn easy. Keep up the great work!
Well, the same technique can work for other styles. Once you get the feel of the BACK and FORTH thing, once you learn how to live within the confines of the instrument, it IS easy.

I've got a book I wrote that shows you how to do some of this: Christmas Carols for the Hugh Tracey Alto and Treble Kalimbas
