Kalimbas are a great instrument to learn, and there are many different types available on the market. In this post, we will compare the features of wooden and acrylic kalimbas<\/a>, as well as 17 key and 21 key kalimbas. We will also discuss flatboard versus hollow board kalimbas, and electric kalimbas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden Kalimba VS Acrylic Kalimba<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The two main types of kalimbas are wooden and acrylic. Wooden kalimbas have a warmer sound than acrylic kalimbas, but they are also more expensive. Acrylic is lighter than wood and less expensive, but wooden kalimbas have a richer sound. If you\u2019re looking for a high-quality sound, we recommend going with a wooden kalimba. However, if you\u2019re on a budget or looking for something light-weight, an acrylic kalimba might be better for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17 Keys Kalimba VS 21 Keys Kalimba<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most common type of kalimba has 17 keys, while the 21 keys kalimba<\/a> has a longer scale and deeper sound. The extra keys on the 21 keys kalimba also give you more notes to play with, making it more versatile. However, the 21 keys kalimba is also more expensive and slightly more difficult to learn. If you\u2019re just starting out, we recommend going with a 17 keys kalimba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flatboard VS Hollow Kalimba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electric Kalambas<\/a> can be played through headphones or an amplifier in your PA system. This allows you to practice without disturbing others or to play along with your favorite songs. Electric Kalambas are also great for playing live shows since they can be plugged into amplifiers. If you want an instrument that is versatile and great for both practice and performance, we recommend getting an electric Kalamba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to play an electric kalimba live, you might find it easier to plug into your mixer and run it directly into the PA system. This means that the tone of your instrument is not affected by mics or other factors in the room (like how close or far away from walls are you playing? What texture is your flooring?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any drawbacks to this method? Yes! It’s kind of a hassle to have all those wires going everywhere, and sometimes they get tangled up with each other while playing. Also keep in mind that if someone turns up too loud on their amp before soundcheck, then everyone will end up having trouble hearing anything else during rehearsal\/performance time because all their amps will be turned up louder than yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
