(At least close)** A: Mine came tuned and ready to play 🙂 I had been mentally practicing a song the week before I bought it and when it came in, I played and the notes where all tuned nice ☺️ **Q: Does it come with sheet music?** A: Yes, the seller will send you an email with a link to two PDF files. One Song Book and one Beginners Book. You will need to print them out if you want the actual sheet music. **Q: Does this kalimba comes with a carrying case with a separate compartment for the tuning hammer of some sort?** A: My Kalimba did not come with any carrying case other than the velveteen pouch (cozy for it to rest but not safe to travel with it's tuning hammer). **Q: Sizes of the piano?** A: not sure if the 17 and 21 key are the same size, but the 17 key is 5.5 inches wide at its widest point, 7 inches long, and about 3 inches thick (that's a combo of the body and the protruding keys) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it.. you will like it. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 31, 2026* Wow do I like this! It is far better than I thought. The book with it helps to explain it. They tuned it. It sounds great. Easy to play and fun. It has everything with it too. So you don't have to order more later. I like it! Easy to hold to play too ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful instrument, kids love it, and the noise is pleasing, even when they're learning. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 2, 2022* This is a wonderful & affordable instrument. My grandson (9) wanted to learn to play music, so I got this for myself, so he wouldn't be tempted to take it home & drive his parents nuts with the noise.No worries, this plays a lovely sound (almost like a Harp), & depending on how hard you strum it, it can be very quiet, too, while learning.He fell in LOVE with it, & asked repeatedly for one for his birthday. I actually liked it a lot, too, so I did get him one for his birthday, later this month. I know he's gonna love it, & this is the kind of thing that can grow with him. If he learns to actually play it, he can keep using it for life, vs one of those awful flute things they give kids, that drive every dog in the neighborhood insane, as well as the people.It comes very well packaged, had a hammer included to tune it, & some stickers to help you tell what note each key is supposed to be. The keys are embossed with their notes, but it's very hard to see, unless you hold it just so in the light. I put the stickers on mine, until I get the hang of it.It also includes 2 thumb guards for you to start. It's played with thumbs only, so you'll want to use those, at least until you can grow out your thumbnails. I'm nearly there growing mine out, and it's a lot easier to play with natural nails, instead of silicone guards or thumb picks. The keys are tightly packed, easy to accidentally bump the next key while you play a note, but once my nails grow out a bit more, I expect that to get a lot better.Tuning was pretty easy, as there are online sites that listen to you play the note, & tell you when you have it right. The site I found showed you if the note was high or low, so you just use the hammer to tap it up or down til you get the right pitch. Very gently tap it up if the note is too low, & visa versa. Keep checking with the online tuner, as you can actually end up with a different note, if you tap too much.The box it came with is perfect, so I decorated both boxes. Pictures shown, because these Kalimbas are lovely, but fragile if dropped. Keeping the box, & making it pretty, ensures it will be put away, each time, not left knocking around the bedroom.Both mine were in perfect condition upon arrival, & easily tuned. I love them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great intro instrument *by on Reviewed in the United States December 25, 2025* This product has got some nice weight and sturdiness to it. I bought it for my 2 year old. He was amazed to be honest. Easy for a toddler to use and easy for an adult to learn. The package comes with a tiny booklet on a handful of songs and stickers to mark your keys. It comes with”tuned” but according to the booklet where I read about the app to help you tune it, it was off key. So that took a good thirty minutes to adjust before wrapping it as a gift. Very soft music, this does come with finger protectors and a little hammer for the adjustments. Comes with its own little bag as well for traveling. I can’t see it breaking or chipping. ## Frequently Bought Together - Newlam Kalimba Thumb Piano 17 Keys, Portable Mbira Finger Piano Gifts for Kids and Adults Beginners Wood - Kalimba Lessons for Beginners with 50 Songs: Theory and Practice + Online Videos - Kalimba Songbook: 50 Easy Classic Songs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/119882043-newlam-kalimba-thumb-piano-17-keys-musical-gift-for-kids](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/119882043-newlam-kalimba-thumb-piano-17-keys-musical-gift-for-kids) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
