The KZfaq is alive with the sound of music, and what better source than a kalimba? Yeah, maybe there are better sources, but let's make a kalimba anyway, because why not!?
Though, we're going to use the power of steam, so stay tuned for that!

It's an instrument with ethnic roots, but that does not mean you cannot make high quality versions of it. It's like saying that violins are overkill because the Byzantine lyra was a much cruder instrument. You can definitely go the route you describe to make a kalimba, but it's not what I was going for.

Janloy Quintero The mill can be substituted with a vice and and a drill. Or a clamp and a drill to drill the ground bar. Or just use a rounded file to get the grooves. A hack saw and a drill can be used for the Brass bar. A saw some files a chisel and sand paper can be used for making the body round. The tree can be cut using a jewelry saw or with chisels. Alternatively you can just drill holes instead of doing the tree. Files can be used to round the tines. Have a good day.

@JQuintero189 7 жыл бұрын

CrimsonSkyz Right! Essentially a sharp rock can be used to chisel the wood as well. I am well aware there are other tools less precise that can be substituted. My point is, the finished product would be nothing similar to what you built using what you used. P.S. My day is great!

That's just another excuse. If you want something badly enough you'd find a way to make the money. The issue is that most people want it right now, and they don't want to make a long term plan and save up/work extra time/sell stuff, etc, to eventually reach their goal. For all the excuses being broke is one of the worst. If a homeless person can rise up and become the CEO of a multi million dollar company, you can get enough money to buy a few woodworking machines.

You do not need any heavy tools. You need a saw, a file, a drill and some sand paper, as far as tools go. if you start out with a preexisting box (like a cigar box), you could get away with even less. Don't let lack of tools stop you, think of way around them. I didn't let not having a coconut stop me from making a kalimba after all.

+Gabriele Ronchetti weeks? No, days. And don't judge how it's it sounds based on the crappy microphone from a compact camera. Tell me though, do you deliberately go out of your way to be vicious, or do you just not have anything better to do?

5 days for the varnish alone. and isn't the point of the comment section /like to dislike bar to hear both positive and negative feedback?

Well, he definitely has a point. From a musical standpoint it sounds quite awful. Bad mic or not, it sounds empty and non-resonant.

+Eluvyel you would say the same for anything if it's recorded with a shitty in camera microphone. Sorry if I don't have studio equipment available.

This must be the most dificultly way to build a Kalimba... you can get a much better sounding Kalmba in a much easier way, without using all this big machnes.

Big machines... like... a mill or lathe? Tools that make precise work easy. How I fail to see how it would sound better using other methods that are more prone to error and more work intensive.

Like, I think found materials that have their own unique resonance. Like a coconut shell..
