Sounds great and is easy to play right out of the box! Comes with tuning tools in case you want to change the pitch too!

Arrived today with no issues. All the keys were nicely standard tuned and the wood looks spectacular in person. Mine doesn’t seem to have much buzzing at all when I play and I’m overall very impressed. It comes with a nice soft touch hard case with a tuning hammer nestled within the bottom. You also get a sweet bag to store it in alternatively. They even include a nice sized cleaning cloth to wipe it down before storing it and some informational booklets with proper tuning and maintenance tips, along with some neat stickers to place on your keys for easy memorization. I think for the great quality of this Kalimba and all the included extras you get with it makes this an unbeatable deal. If you’re curious about trying out this instrument then this one is definitely the way to go.

I am impressed with a quality of this product, the wood finish, the keys and the inclusion of a case, tuner, velvet pouch, wood polishing cloth, tutorial book and QR code to the online instructions, the company did an excellent job of providing you with a quality product along with accessories, instructions, basically everything you need to get you started. Obviously, with any instrument, you need to practice to get better but there are a lot of additional tutorials on the internet you can easily find. Being a musician, I can appreciate how this company thought of everything to help you get started, nice job Gecko!

Growing up I rarely played any instruments and didn’t know how to read music. As an adult, I decided to branch out and try out this kalimba. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I was able to play it. It came with stickers to label they keys with to make it easier for those new to the instrument. It also included a songbook, an instruction book, a case, and cleaning cloth along with a tuning hammer. (Though I’ve heard tuning them to different keys is a pain and have yet to try that myself.) It is so easy to take on-the-go and practice anywhere.
I am very pleased and impressed with the quality of it for its price. For me, it was worth every penny to learn this new skill. I am in love!

Great kalimba! Well engineered and built, no complains. Perfectly tuned right from the box – checked by the tuner, no adjustments needed. Sounds like a magic. Also, this kit has everything you need.

After reviewing all the 17-key Kalimbas, I decided on the Gecko… Reviews were very good, came with lots of extras, and the price was reasonable. So glad that I did! The Kalimba was in tune, so all I had to do was to set it up by putting on the enclosed stickers (notes and color strips). The sound is very rich… Much better than some of the videos out there of other Kalimbas. The case is no joke, and I appreciate the cleaning cloth and the soft bag as well. I searched online for Kalimba music notations and am on my way on learning some very lovely songs on this amazing instrument.

I’m in love with this thing and I can’t put it down. Ever since it arrived I keep picking out tunes on it, and playing with it constantly. It’s beautiful, it sounds great, and it’s incredibly portable. I see myself playing with this for a long time and even trying to get good at it. I highly recommend it, it’s even better than I thought it would be.
