  • What is a thumb piano?

    A thumb piano, or kalimba instrument, is a small percussion instrument consisting of a wooden board with attached staggered metal tines. You play it by holding the instrument in your hands and plucking the tines with your thumbs.

  • What is the difference between a kalimba and a thumb piano?

    Generally, they are the same thing! "Kalimba" is a specific brand name that became the common term for the instrument, much like how people say "Kleenex" for tissues. Both refer to the finger piano instrument family.

  • How many keys should a beginner kalimba have?

    Most experts recommend starting with a 17-key model. It gives you enough notes to play almost any popular song while still being simple enough to handle.

  • How do you tune a thumb piano?

    You use a small tuning hammer. To make a note higher, you tap the metal tine upward. To make it lower, you tap it downward. You can use a free tuning app on your phone to check the pitch.
