        In most countries, however, you have to pay taxes or duties on imported goods. Sometimes goods under a certain value, or in certain categories, do not incur taxes.

        The rules are different in every country. Unfortunately there is no way for us to know the rules, regulations, customs, traditions, practices, loopholes, schemes, systems, paperwork, codes, laws, or rulings of every single country.

        If you have to pay import taxes and/or additional duties and sales taxes, then you would have to pay that to the courier upon receipt of the package(s). We can't calculate this for you or you cannot pre-pay it. If you are drop-shipping or sending a gift item to someone, please make sure they are aware of the possibility of having to pay taxes when receiving the goods.  If the package is shipped back because of the failure of custom duties/taxes payment, we have no responsibility to refund the order.

        Please find out as much as you can about your import taxes in your own country before completing your order.

      Worth It!

      Great quality for the price. The instrument itself seems fun and easier to pick up than other instruments, while still sounding great. It came mainly in tune with just enough out of tune to practice and learn how to tune it without being overwhelmed. The only thing that was difficult was the stickers and not being guided how to set them up. After researching I found there are many ways to set up, but other than that I throughly am enjoying the product. Highly recommend if your on the fence.

      The best balance between value and quality

      This kalimba is a sweet little instrument. It has a beautiful tone and is well crafted. It is played by striking the keys with your fingers. It is played in the key of C only, so there are no sharps or flats. The keys are arranged with higher octaves on the ends and the keys are identified by number.
      The kalimba was nicely boxed with finger picks, a soft case, a tuning hammer, an instruction book and all of the necessary cleaning items.

      Great sounding new 'it' item

      These are the 'hot item' at elementary school lately (remember fidget spinners, animal shaped rubber bands, and the worst: slime) and provide individual melodies and music making opportunities during physically distanced covid learning.
      The quality is great - both in construction and sound. They really do carry a unique timber and are distinct from the electronically produced video game sounds. Fill your home with happy kids and happy music - get one for each so they can play together and not fight over whose turn it is!
