At present, there are many tongue drum products claiming to be made of carbon steel, but the quality varies.
How to distinguish and avoid buying inferior products?
Ok, leave it to me
The first is the material.
There are two kinds of ethereal drums: one is made of carbon steel and the other is made of iron.
So, how do you tell?
The easiest and most scientific method is to use magnets, so there is no need to say more about the operation, right?
Iron: hold firmly
Carbon steel material: smooth rolling
The second is to listen to the tone.
Let's listen to the difference between carbon steel and iron.
The tone of carbon steel material is very pleasant and melodious...
There is a feeling of being in the bamboo forest, sitting cross-legged and sipping tea.
Iron is very bad
There is noise, the ending is very long
It made me feel dizzy.
The carbon steel ethereal drums on the market are high-end musical instruments, all priced at more than US$160.
Remind every fan of ethereal drums, you must identify them carefully before buying.
Don't buy cheap carbon steel ethereal drums.
So glad to have found such a good quality Kalimba from HLURU! Very very happy!!!

It really is a beautiful steel drum with a very nice sound. Customer service is great and took care of any issue promptly.
Hello, thank you very much for your kind evaluation.
We did send you the one in D major by mistake, and after our communication, we resent the one in C major to you. You also promised to help us forward it to other customers who need D major. We are very grateful for your help.
Although we lost a lot of money due to our own mistakes in this order, we will continue to give our customers the best service.
Regarding your question about wanted to remove the protective film from the numbers, we are really confused why you need to tear off these labels? This is really difficult, we recommend that you apply rubbing alcohol and try again.
Hello, thank you for upgrading our review to five stars.
Best regards

The kalimba bag is good, i ordered it as a bundle together with my 17 key Kalimba in scalloped shape and it fits. I just don't know why i received a bag without transparent part (as seen in pics from product page) and without the shoulder strap. Otherelse i would've gave more stars.
Hi, dear friend
Thank you for your honest evaluation.
We checked our shipping records, and indeed we sent the wrong style, sorry. However, the box you received is the most suitable for the kalimba you ordered. Our distributors may have chosen this box habitually. Sorry again.
If you need a replacement style, we will resend it to you.
Best regards

I am enjoying my 17 key walnut kalimba. I have listened to many other kalimbas and I think the sound is superior to others I’ve heard. It was perfectly in tune. The accessories are nice. My only disappointment is that the instruction booklet and stickers were not included. I bought 2 kalimbas, one as a gift and one for myself. Fortunately the one I gave as a gift had the pamphlet, stickers and instruction on how to tune. I contacted the company and am still waiting to receive the missing items. I would be hesitant to order another one as a gift for that reason. I hope it comes soon.
The company has been good with communicating and otherwise, I am happy with my purchase. What a fun little instrument!
Hello, thank you for your kind evaluation.
