Thrilled
Was looking for a keychain harp as a fun little gift for my musical sister. when this came up I thought what the heck as I didn't think it was something she had.(There isn't many things she doesn't already have). I was so impressed with the quality at that price point. I ordered 3 more for Christmas gifts. Love when you're pleasantly surprised when ordering online. It was cheaper than the keychain versions at time of purchase and a hundred times better.

For $10 its ok
It came with some rusty keys. And after about 20 minutes the finish on the keys started to tarnish and peel off. But the sound is still fine, a little raddle. For $10 to try something it's great. If I decide it's something I want to keep up I'll spend the money on a nicer one.

Cheap wood. It arrived broken.. sounds terrible.
The media could not be loaded. Product arrived with a huge crack from The sound hole all the way past the bridge and it's severely affects the sound causing a vibration a twang sound when the keys are played. Other than the broken wood, the instrument is as advertised and fun to play. Would've been 5 stars if it wasn't cracked. Not even worth paying the shipping to get a replacement.

Looks, plays & feels great
Wow, given the low price I thought this Kalimba might look & feel a bit rough around the edges - not so at all. The wood (Koa? Mahogany?) and finish is just as nice as the big name brand kalimba I already own. Keys feels a bit stiff right out of the box but they'll probably get a bit springier & smoother with use. Tuning hammer, presentation box, & directions were all icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

Good sound, fingerprints and rusted tines.
The instrument plays wonderfully, however the metal tines were covered in fingerprints, and one was slightly rusted. The tines should be easy enough to replace, but I shouldn't have to do this immediately after opening the product. Save for the fingerprints and rust, the rest of the instrument is wonderfully crafted, and I do recommend it as an introductory instrument for new players.

Very Enjoyable Instrument
I bought one for myself and got so many compliments that I had to buy 2 more as gifts. Everyone just loves this and has fun trying to play songs. This instrument is very soothing sounding, almost like a harp.I recommend this to anyone who likes to fidget with their hands.

Beautiful Unique Gift for anyone.
I sent another back. This one has a cleat beautiful sound. I love that it has an outlet for amplifier or recording. I got it for my adult son who seems to play every instrument. He played it a lot. It is beautiful on the mantle too.
