How to choose the right size Kalimba?

Choosing the right Kalimba size can be a real challenge! Some people might tell you it's best to choose a smaller size, while others might suggest a larger one. But how do you know what size Kalimba is best for you? If you're looking for a guide to help you determine the most appropriate Kalimba size for you, you've come to the right place! 🤔

What size to choose for a Kalimba?

When you buy a kalimba online, you will find several different sizes and models supplied by The Kalimba. The 10-point Kalimba may be one of the most popular models, but don't be surprised if you see some models ranging from 8 to 17 points. Your Kalimba size should match your musical goals: Si vous souhaitez apprendre la musique, il est conseillé de commencer avec un kalimba qui a moins de points (8 ou 10) car ces points offrent une plus grande portée. Les kalimbas ayant plus de points sont conçus pour les musiciens plus expérimentés qui veulent explorer plus de notes et jouer des mélodies plus complexes. Vous devez également tenir compte de la longueur et de la largeur du kalimba. Les kalimbas plus grands auront une longueur plus large et disposeront d’un espace plus important entre les touches. Cela peut rendre plus facile de trouver les touches individuelles et donc plus facile à jouer.

Take your abilities and preferences into account

While the number of points and the size of your kalimba greatly influence the way you play and the type of music you can create, they don't entirely determine your playing preferences and abilities. For example, some musicians prefer larger kalimbas because the greater width makes it easier to touch the keys without too much hand movement. Others prefer the practicality and lighter duel of smaller kalimbas. Part of your selection process should therefore be determined by trying out as many kalimbas as possible and deciding for yourself what is most practical and comfortable for you.
