do you have ones like this on the website for purchasing? i'm was interested in making my own but i really dint think i would be able to get it this well tuned!

Search for Sansula KalimbaMagic. I no longer carry this EXACT model because the paper head breaks. I have two similar models, with synthetic drum skin material (Sansula Renaissance) and with goat skin head (Deluxe Sansula).

Actually, tuning it is not a big problem. BUT, my son is in the shop working on coming up with our own kalimba designs - he is on prototype # 10, and there are plenty of other things that can go wrong.

This is the YouTube Video that started the whole SANSULA TUNING movement!

Very soon, I will have a book dedicated to playing just in the Beautiful E Tuning.  -Mark Holdaway

Will these tuning sheet charts for all tunings come with my purchase? If not, is there somewhere on the website I can look at them to figure it out when I receive my instrument? :)

Irene,

Yes. The standard tunings come with sheets like this. The common tunings I provide come with similar computer-generated sheets that I make. And the really rare tunings... I just write on a piece of paper.

I offer a Kalimba Doctor service, and I've seen dozens of old (60s and 70s) kalimbas that are totally out of tune, and I realize their owners just had no clue how to tune them, so making sure the owners know what notes to tune to is very important.

5:50 Be careful not to impel your hand into the tines - that would be a nasty wound.

Thanks for the warning! You are super cute :)
