Exploring 21 key DIY kalimba in low A minor diatonic, tuning in 3 full octaves

Exploring 21 key DIY kalimba in low A minor diatonic, chorded tuning in 3 full octaves.

Meditative playing in 3/4 pattern @ 110/220 bpm.

Stoked with the results of experimental DIY practice so far & very happy to share 🌟❣️🎶

》 Deep low bass notes...
to accompany handpans & tongue drums

》On bigger African padauk...
for optimal resonance & hand positioning

》Precise shaping of tines...
for max clear sound & playing comfort

》 21 keys in A minor diatonic...
3 full octaves in chorded lay-out
for optimal intuitive access to versatile triads & diads

》 Longer tines at the end...
so scaling can be lowered in full pitches

》 Polished with wax & essential oils...
for an extra smooth natural shine, feel and smell
