WOOD VS ACRYLIC : What is the best kalimba to get as a beginner?

I've been watching you for 3years now and I still... hindi parin nakabili ng kalimba dahil hindi talaga ako makakapili at sakto lang din budget so I want to choose wisely. I really enjoying watchung your videos❤️✨️

Which one retains the note the longest? I don't want to keep tuning after playing a few times.

I am from Germany and i would Always prefer the acrylic kalimbas. You can buy many many cheap hollow kalimbas in Amazon Germany but i Tried more the ten of Them and the Sound of all of Them is Not so nice than of the cheapest acrylic kalimba. So ni Matter which acrylic you choose, it Sounds Always better than cheap to expensive hollow kalimbas.

I just got an acrylic little kitty cat shaped kalimba, it's easy to hold. I got it purely so I could see the grass and flowers through it when I play outside. I also love the gentle angelic-ness of it :)

I bought an Acrylic Kalimba and i was wondering if a wooden one could be better for me, but after watching your video, well, i definitly prefer Acrylic sound xD thanks you so much for your video :3

👍👍😁👍👍

Which better kalimba sounds I want to buy . But I did not know. If I choose wood or acrylic. Which better for beginners

Hi there what flat board are you using in this?

Thank you this was really helpfull❤️

Thank you for the video! Very informative as a beginner🥰

Porque tiene el titulo en español y el video esta en ingles 😡

I got a hallow wooden Kalimba as my first one. I’ve never played so am a beginner and I love how loud it can get and the sound it produces. One day I may get a acrylic one as they are so cute. The acrylic one sounds more like a music box to me 😍

When she did the sound comparison I closed my eyes so I could honestly know which sound I liked better and not know which was which.

What is the name of the song she played? I have both acrylic and wooden I love them both but I love how loud the wooden one sounds

Thank you so much everybody says that hollow kalimba is begginer frendly but i wanted the acrylic one and now you helped me.Thank you!!

When I practice I like using an acrylic, but when I perform I like using a hollow body electric/acoustic. I think intended use is also important. Are you going to be performing with an accompaniment? Then you're going to need more volume. Hollow body's also allow for a vibrato effect that can't be done with solid wood or acrylic. When I'm just sitting with my cats with a beer at night and I'm playing a bit to relax, an acrylic is a great choice. It has a warm lullaby like sound that a howw body can't produce. The amount of keys is also important. I use a 42 key most of the time, but they are very expensive and usually have to be custom made. I would suggest an 8 key for a small child to learn, or a 17 key if you're an adult. There's no sense in spending money for top of the line stuff until you've mastered everything before it. You need to crawl before you can walk. Also there's plenty of different designs so get one that speaks to you. I have about 25 kalimbas so far and each of them says something about me design wise.

I love how she played it the music she played is so beautifully designed

I have a very noisy house wich is why i want a hallow wooden one but the aycrylic one is realy prettey and when is comes to my attention span i tend to pay more attention to things when there more visualy appeling so i realy dont know what to pick 😵‍💫

What was the name of the music she played? Plz help me to recognize it!!😅

Aaaaa esta decisión es tán difícil. Por un lado desde la primera vez que ví un kalimba supe que quería uno acrilico, se ve tan delicado y lindo además suena como una caja musical y yo soy fan de las cajas musicales, pero... el sonido del de madera es tan precioso parece como si fuera un instrumento sacado de un cuento de hadas de la naturaleza y el de madera hueca no se queda atrás, tiene un diseño y sonido más "calido y hogareño" perfecto para practicarlo en un día frío junto a una chimenea, no sé pero yo me siento en mi lugar feliz cuando escucho el kalimba de madera hueca

Amazing

I have only just discovered the kalimba (like only just this week!) and have fallen in love with the sound. This video helped me decide to go for..... no, still not decided. ;) Your baby will have no trouble falling asleep to those sweet sounds, congratulations!

Thank you very much, I'm looking at Kalimba's for my 3yo and this has helped so much 💖

Acrylic 💜

I was super worried that I bought the wrong kalimba as a beginner but I love the soft sounds acrylics make and I really don’t mind if it’s heavy! Thank you for the information your channel is really good with information 🤍

Absolutely amazing and helpfull 🥰

I have both wood and acrylic kalimba, and I love them both 😍😍😍

u really help me Im searching right know the right kalimba that I wanna play and I'ts really nice to hear some tips but what would u prefer a 30,21 or 17 keys kalimber I really don't know what to choose

I really like how you said that we should buy the one that inspires us to play. I really like the soft sound of the acrylic one, but I've watched so many videos saying it's not beginner friendly. After watching this I've decided to buy what I want thank you so much!

Despite the acrylic being more exposed to being scratched, i think it will be my first type of kalimba, also i know its kinda late but, the baby bump 💖💖💖

most sincere prayers for your coming adventures with your little one. 👍💗🙏🌻😁✝

Regards,
-you're amazing
-i wanted to ask if a Wooden kalimba falls, does it break?
Are they Extremely sensitive and if you want to rate the wooden one on terms of sensitivity on a scale of 1-10, how much would you give?

I think I'm gonna choose an acrylic one as my first kalimba ❤

Thank you for the tips ate!!! 🤗❤️ Btw, i just wanted to ask if tines that aren't aligned well can be fixed?

That baby is gonna be a kalimba star he/she/they are gonna have blessed ears I would be asleep all the time if I heard a kalimba all day

God bless your baby!!

I'm a beginner your vids are so helpful

Is the acrylic a little more heavier then the flatboard, or is does it weigh like a boulder?
Edit: I'm still deciding, a pretty heavy acrylic, or a a little less pretty, lighter flatboard :<

As a beginner who got obsessed with the kalimba ever since I laid my eyes on it, the acrylic and flatboard kalimba sound soo similar! My parents said they would buy me one, and I'm so definitely going to chose an acrylic OR flatboard kalimba! Is there a store that sells kalimba's?

I ordered my first ever kalimba and I'm can't wait to see and play with it. I just realize that I need to shift to another instrument since I can't play violin and piano long as I want because of my health condition. Good thing I remember Kalimba. Btw, I am your new subscriber. Stay safe with your baby inside your tummy and with your loved ones. Let's pray for your safe delivery. God bless you, sis! 😊
