EASTROCK 8 Key Mini Kalimba, （2 Packs)

Arrived on time. Great gifts for little kids. Makes a pleasant sound.

I got these for my daughter, husband, and I to play around with together, and we like them a lot! They were very out of tune when they arrived, but after some time spent tuning them, they sound just fine. I saw other reviews complaining about this, but they're tiny instruments shipped in a box, of course they're going to fall out of tune. If I dropped it on the floor I'd have to re-tune it. Just plan to tune them, and if you're not looking to do that, take it to a music store or buy one in person in the first place. They're solid build, nice quality, and we think they're easy to tune and play! The little flute is a really simple plastic thing, but it was a fun little addition to find in the box. (Daughter is more interested in tooting away a single monotone note on the little flute than playing around with the kalimba, but hey, she's having fun!)

Firstly yes, this is cheap enough and a good gift for any age or abilities. Bought these for my autistic adult son because he likes music and making “noise” so I figured maybe we could teach him (got some books too), or maybe he’d just play with it as it was. They come with strings to pull through so you can hang them or carry them with you, which you have to thread and loop through a tiny hole. To be noted that one of the three didn’t have home drilled through to the other side, but I poked it with a large needle that I used to thread the cord through. That said, I played with it to hear the sounds, and neither of the three is properly tuned. Maybe they “move” during packing or shipping? Kalimbas are made with long metal flat prongs (for lack of better wording) which sound line guitars do when clicked on, through a middle hole. They’re held together by piece of wood and screws, and should be tuned based on their positioning. They aren’t. My daughter plays instruments, so I bought her a larger one to play (maybe her and brother could learn together) and hers has a tuning hammer. We will have to try and re-tune his smaller ones with an audio tuner to get it right, but as of now they’re “off”. In truth it’s still a cute gift and it doesn’t look cheaply made. Just wish we could actually play notes accordingly. I gave it an overall of 3 stars because of tuning. If we can correctly readjust it without difficulty, then I’ll upper my review to 4 stars

Great little musical item for the price. Would’ve been nice to get some music sheet music maybe to help a newbie learn how to play some songs. But, no biggie. Also to the drivers of Amazon; Always, when there’s something on the porch that could somewhat hide the package from the street, always utilize the cover of a potted plant to hide the item from the street. Just makes sense.

My cousin really loves these I got them for Christmas for her. ☺️

Keys come loose easily. Smaller than you think.

These are so awesome, pocket size, easy on a string as well. Play anytime you need some mind clarity.

Great Kalimba gift for Kalimba players, or great as a fidget toy. There is not much range in the limited amount of keys, but they make a nice sound. Tuneability: I had to tune the Kalimba keys, so make sure you also have a tuner otherwise it won't sound good.
