  8. Tips & Techniques

Playing tips and ideas:

•  Vibrato / wah: 

when playing with the Kalimba on a flat 

surface, lift any side of the instrument and move at dif-

ferent speeds up and down for interesting tonal chang-

es. You can also do this while holding your kalimba in 

the air for interesting effects.

•  Improvisation on a drone note: 

Choose one of the 

lower notes of the Kalimba and play it at regular in-

tervals. In between, try playing the other notes on the 

Kalimba and get inspired!

•  Glissando: 

Due to the difference in height between 

the keys of the Kalimba, it is very easy to do glissandos 

between upper and lower keys, try different combina-

tions!

•  Chord Arpeggios: 

Use only the notes of a particular 

chord (see basic chords reference) and arpeggiate be-

tween the different notes

Performing songs:

Pop song melodies usually use more notes than the ma-

jor pentatonic that the Moon Kalimba comes in by de-

fault. 

To play these, please adjust the tuning of some of the 

keys until you get the notes you need for the song you 

want to play.
