It's really exactly like a real Kalimba, you can feel the feeling of the Kalimba. The sound is very nice, I recommend! 😍

Everything is very well thought out, there are songs to play along to, and even for a beginner it was easy for me to figure out and play something.

10/10 got me out of trouble for not bringing my Kalimba to school. ✨👌🏻✨
