Guest brianellis Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 it was $110, shipping included. very much worth it. I'll record some samples.
Guest brianellis Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 here it is... with some delay and reverb on it brianellis_kalimba.mp3
ten fingers ten toes Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Thats hillarious,I was just jamming in a store the other day with one of these and a Celtic/Irish Door Harp thingie. I love it
Guest Adjective Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 here it is... with some delay and reverb on it brianellis_kalimba.mp3 pretty does it have much of a sound unamplified?
theocide Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 he just brought that shit over here and it sounds bright and clear unamplified, really sounds great. tripped me the fuck out.
Guest Adjective Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 i'm jealous i've been craving some real instruments to play with they are cheaper than i thought from looking online, maybe i'll birthday gift me one of these didn't see one with a pickup like that though

Guest locum76 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 why not just get a cheap kalimba (approx £10- £20 from just about anywhere) and mike it up???
kcinsu Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 you should just make one yourself, there are plans in loads of books and probably all over the net for them. you can get cheap (but kind of tacky ones) at places like trade aid... not sure if you have those in the UK etc but just one of those stores which sell "ethnic" type stuff like those peruvian hats and tingshas they're actually louder than you might think too so simply mic-ing them up is easy... or just use an old guitar pick-up or something. my roommate is a percussionist. in college, he took a course with this guy that went to africa and studied how to make kalimbas. the first half of the course was building your own from scratch, and the second half was learning to play it/writing a piece for it . it sounds amazing, and he can play it like a motherfucker. Im digging your mp3
Guest brianellis Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 why not just get a cheap kalimba (approx £10- £20 from just about anywhere) and mike it up??? i wanted to be able to hook it up to pedals easily, and keep it more feedback free. this was quick and easy, and really wasn't that expensive. it sounds so amazing hooked up to a electro harmonix memory man... it's well worth it. you should just make one yourself, there are plans in loads of books and probably all over the net for them. you can get cheap (but kind of tacky ones) at places like trade aid... not sure if you have those in the UK etc but just one of those stores which sell "ethnic" type stuff like those peruvian hats and tingshas they're actually louder than you might think too so simply mic-ing them up is easy... or just use an old guitar pick-up or something. my roommate is a percussionist. in college, he took a course with this guy that went to africa and studied how to make kalimbas. the first half of the course was building your own from scratch, and the second half was learning to play it/writing a piece for it . it sounds amazing, and he can play it like a motherfucker.
