TUNING YOUR KALIMBA
Step 1: Use a tuner
Columbus(24 key) and Pisces(34 key) comes pre-tuned. However ,after some times playing, movements in the tines reduces the precision of each key. To know whether each key is in tune, you will need a tuner (buy from here). This can be a physical tuning device, or a free smartphone tuning app. We recommend Da Tuner for android or Ins Tuner for ios smartphones. How to use a tuner varies greatly. Please read the instructions meant for your chosen device or app.
There is no physical copy of the tuning chart for customers who bought the seeds Pisces B Tone Kalimba. Save a copy or print theB Tone Tuning Chart PDF.
With reference to the tuning chart which shows you the musical alphabet for each key, strike each tine to see if it is in the correct tune with the aid of your tuner.
If the tuner shows that the tine sounds lower than it should, use the tuning hammer to TAP UP.
If the tuner shows that the tine sounds higher than it should, use the tuning hammer to TAP DOWN.

Purchased as a gift for our grandson who played the marimba and vibes in high school. He was delighted with the double keyboard kalimba and anxious to learn how to play it. He said it would certainly keep his mind busy; and, as a police officer, looked forward to the diversion. I thought it looked good but the sound wasn't very loud when he tried it. Probably improves with practice!
