How to Tune the Kalimba ?
Kalimba tuning can be viewed as a thing and an action word simultaneously. A kalimba’s tuning alludes to what in particular notes are the place where and how they sound together. To tune a kalimba is to really change prongs so they have the specific sound they should, as per which note a prong is assigned to play. The demonstration of tuning could be to push a somewhat detuned kalimba back into its past tuning — that is, the notes will typically be a small piece out, and it is generally evident what note every prong should be tuned to. Then again, the demonstration of tuning (or retuning) could be to change the current kalimba into an absolutely new and distinctive tuning. The mechanics of these two tuning acts — reestablishing an old tuning or changing to another tuning — are the equivalent. Each time you refine your tuning — a traditionalist demonstration — you are picking up the abilities you will require when you choose to change your tuning — an extreme demonstration.
Be that as it may, as to really doing the tuning? Watch the accompanying recordings! If it’s not too much trouble remember these two significant things: One, an electronic tuner is significant for exactness( You can download the tuning application to your telephone) . Two, I find that utilizing my fingers gives me the best control when tuning, however others may utilize a forceps or other device to help.

Most kalimbas will hold their tuning for a while. On the off chance that you play hard, you may need to retune week after week. On the off chance that you drop your kalimba, or in the event that you get the prongs trapped in a pack or on your shirt sleeve, you can wreck the tuning. Doing a final detail on the tuning can take as meager as a couple of moments. While changing over to an alternate tuning can take me 5–10 minutes, you should spending 30–40 minutes on your first attempt.
When changing to an alternate tuning, ensure you realize how to return to the first tuning. Additionally, ensure that you can really accomplish that tuning. Making prongs longer (from where they are held down on the extension) will bring down their pitch, and making them more limited will make their pitch higher. So it is a great idea to consider, for instance, regardless of whether an ideal note is low to the point that a prong would not be long enough to really make that note.
