How the Virtual Kalimba Works

The kalimba synthesizes warm plucked metal tine sound: sine fundamental with 2nd and 3rd harmonics, exponential decay, and a subtle body resonance. 17 tines tuned to C major pentatonic.

Click the tines or press keyboard keys A-Z. Each tine is color-coded by pitch. Record your melody as WAV.
