Kalimba

Yesterday my kalimba arrived. Two weeks ago I did not know what a kalimba was. It is a small hand held wooden instrument that is also called a thumb piano. Mine has 17 tines and sounds almost like a harp. It is relaxing to play and so far with the exception of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, I have played a mish mosh of sounds that sound like heavenly music. I sat for a long time yesterday just strumming the metal rods and creating soothing music. I couldn't put it down. My new goal is to learn how to play songs on it.
