Which kalimba is easy to store and carry?

If you're looking for a kalimba that's easy to store and take home, you've come to the right place. thekalimba.comWe've put together this guide for you. You'll learn which type of kalimba is best suited to your needs and how to save time and space ⏳⏰.

The different types of kalimbas

There are several types of kalimbas, including the flat kalimba, the wooden kalimba and the finger kalimba. Flat kalimbas are the smallest and easiest to store and transport. They generally have 8 to 10 steel rods and are very light. Wooden kalimbas are larger and heavier, but offer a greater variety of sounds.

How to store and transport a kalimba

The best way to store and transport your kalimba is to invest in a sturdy case, adapted to your instrument. Some cases are made of leather, others of fabric or plastic. Make sure it's sturdy enough to protect your instrument and easy to grip. Leather cases are the most durable, but can be heavier.

You can also opt for a travel case, although this isn't always necessary for smaller, lighter kalimbas. Travel cases are ideal for larger models and offer extra protection against scratches and damage.

The best kalimbas for transport and storage

Kalimbas tend to be relatively small and lightweight, making them easy to store and transport. The most popular models among our customers are the kalimba 4 strings 17 wooden keys and the kalimba 8 strings 17 wooden keys. Both models offer superior sound quality and a wide variety of tones, yet are compact enough to be easily stored and transported.

If you're looking for a smaller, lighter instrument, then you may need to opt for a flat model. Our 10-key plastic kalimba is a very popular flat kalimba, offering unrivalled sound quality and a tough, durable design.

Tips for transporting and storing your kalimba

Before storing or transporting your kalimba, make sure it is properly tuned. You can always use a case to protect your instrument, but this won't prevent damage if the rods are out of tune. Use a hard case for transport, and a softer one for storage. Never leave your kalimba in a car exposed to extreme temperatures.
