Yes. Notice the bar near the top of the instrument. That is the pressure point that secures the bars and determines the pitch. You can slide each individual bar up or down to change the pitch. It is a small instrument and does not have a huge range, but you can probably tune each up or down at least a whole step. It's time consuming to retune the instrument, so it wouldn't be practical to have a lot of tuning changes in a single performance. I have had to play kalimba in a few pieces. It's a fun instrument. >> ^PHJF:

But does it do transposition?

I can think of at least 10,000 idiots who would benefit from replacing their I Phones with a frikkin' kalimba!!
....seen kalimbas' since I was in kindergarten but never have I heard someone trance-out on one with such skill.

Ever seen a lamellophone set-up? As many variations as there are players and instrument makers....

^ i think the mbira body is rounded and made with a gourd, whereas the kalimba is the more standard box shape and is made with wood. i could be wrong, but i once looked this specific query up in my younger, more curious days.

love how he seitches between harmon mute and non muted sounds.. and little falls and bops..l impressive stuff.

yeah, kalimba it is, aka thumb piano

fucking cool as fucking fuck.

i cannot stop watching this. if i were him i'd be constantly walking into bars and restaurants doing trumpet-based jazzboxing. the women would swoon, the men would be green with envy.

by the way, anyone know exactly what that awesome little box of tricks is? it just rocketed to the top of my musical instrument wishlist.

[edit] just seen from the tags that it's a kalimba. off to the shops.

That thing is called a Kalimba, not a Karimba.
