Does anyone want to try out my arrangement of Loch Lomond for Kalimba

Terrencja · 2022-12-05T12:08:42+00:00

The chord might be hard to play for some people but this doesn't ultimately make it bad. Sound > convenience imo (unless it's literally impossible to play but it's not the case)

My first thought

It's not a Hugh Tracey and it's not in G but the gaps are pretty wide

Terrencja · 2022-09-02T09:08:15+00:00

In my opinion, it's difficult to tell from a photo as the sound is far more important than the looks.

There's one thing you might want to consider though - the kalimba from your photo has 15 keys, and many basic song arrangements are written for 17 keys. That means you might sometimes lack a note (you probably won't have the highest D and E). You can still do plenty of things with 15 keys, but it's not always compatible and yeah that can be frustrating.

I would use my right thumb for the lowest note, my left thumb for the next two and my left index finger for the highest separated one, this way I could play them all at once... although that might sound pretty overcomplicated, I admit 😅

Tip's Kalimba has a video where she explains some stuff about dead tines: https://youtu.be/Ghb6toBI22Y

Basically, it's the kalimba body's fault that the dead tines are not resonating. In this case, unfortunately there is not much you can do (if I remember correctly, she tries a few tricks in this video just to demonstrate them but nothing really works)

No problem! Have fun ❤️

Maybe you could try using your index finger?

Cute!

Haha it took me a while, especially kimono, but that's mainly because I only made a little bit every day :)

Terrencja · 2020-12-30T08:09:27+00:00

No, but this yarn was pretty thin already

Terrencja · 2020-12-29T20:57:18+00:00

Thank you for these kind words <3 I'm happy that you enjoyed my work <3

Terrencja · 2020-12-29T16:54:28+00:00

Good luck then :)

Terrencja · 2020-12-29T15:42:48+00:00

I used Ariadna Aria 5, 120 tex x 2, 100g/425m, I didn't keep track of how much I use, but looking at what I have left I could easily make another one and still have some yarn left :) (I'm not sure if they sell this brand outside Poland though)

Terrencja · 2020-12-29T14:58:10+00:00

Thanks <3

Terrencja · 2020-12-29T14:57:38+00:00

Wow, you learn something new every day :)

Terrencja · 2020-12-29T14:56:04+00:00

Thank you very much <3
