UNOKKI Mahogany Kalimba (Cherry, Glossy Finish) – Thumb Piano with Hand Rest & 17 Keys – Personal Musical Instrument for Kids & Adults, Beginners to Professionals – Includes Tuning Hammer & More

These are so much fun to play and very simple to learn. The craftsmanship and sound are wonderful, not to mention they are already tuned for you right out of the box, so you can get stared right away...

This is my favorite kalimba, sits next to me, I play it all the time.

Good response, packaged well. Difficulty understanding how to play.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift and the recipient loved it...but I'm glad I opened the box to look at the enclosures. I was able to address the only significant issue this kalimba has with an in person intro lesson and additional info for my friend, but that's not always possible.This one is fewer keys than mine, but it's definitely easier for those with smaller hands to hold and play. I'm a 4'11" woman, so the difference was really noticeable when I held this kalimba. The wood color is rich and warm...very attractive! And at a very reasonable price, too.Minus one star for the enclosures. They are SUPER confusing! I've been playing kalimba for almost a year and couldn't figure out what the company was trying to convey, so they're ZERO help for a total novice. (I read and write legal documents, so I can puzzle out the meaning of almost anything--not these!)Thankfully, the directions that came with my first kalimba were clearer, so I copied those for the gift recipient. I also have a little songbook with pieces I've learned after finding music online, so I was able to make a similar book for my friend, complete with the URLs where I've had the best luck finding music.But I think if I'd given this kalimba as is, with no other explanation and/or to someone who isn't tech savvy enough to go online to find comprehensible tuning info/sheet music/etc.,, the gift would not have been nearly as well received and could have ended up collecting dust on a shelf.

Lovely, everyone - from 4yo to 77 yo - love to play, a lovely addition to our home instruments. Easy to use. It has two dead notes, however, as many other reviews also found.
