OOO that's a great idea. The only downfall is now you don't have the sound hole... But isn't a major deal, thanks for making and showing me this one. I think it's better than the previous one, and it has alot more notes :) Thanks

[kalimbamagic]

There is a model with sound hole.

Sharon felt more comfortable using the

board-mounted kalimba, as it is smaller

and a better fit to her hands. -M

this is so cool. ive got an alto kalimba and was thinking about doing the same thing to make it chromatic. how much does this go for Mark?

[kalimbamagic]

There are two main variations, and 3 different ways to set each up (adding slightly to the cost) - so they range from $130 to $150 I think -M

[openoptics]

How much are these going to cost?  I'd like to reserve one if they're not too expensive.

[kalimbamagic]

Hello - I don't have a price quote from Africa,

but my estimate is that they will be about $150

or less. I just ordered them last night, and I ordered twice the number that were reserved, so

one could have your name on it. -Mark

If you were to make a second chromatic video, put a mirror on the floor so we can see both sides at once.

Could someone give me tips ... i got an african kalimba with 8 notes on the right and 6 on the left seem like being pentatonic 3th inversion but somewhere notes are the same on a side an the other annyway your kalimba is much more usable than mine and i like the beethoven on kalimba its smooth ...
