Meinl KA9-M Kalimba 4-stars Reviews

Rather a toy that a musical instrument - but a great one!

It is not very practical, but very nice and satisfying to play. Good sound quality, nice material, slightly weird tuning, but overall feels great. I found that I use it more as a stress toy than as actual music instrument due to the dreamy "minor" scale it has, but still - no complaints.

Fun.

It is a fun sound maker but unfortunately not much more for me.

The "tounges" are angled in a way witch makes it hard to get a nice grip with my big fingers and the dreamy scale it is tuned in is not very practical, you can change the tuning with the right tools though.

It is also quite quiet witch makes it impractical in recordings with non contact microphones.
