        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.

        Therefore, we cannot, and will not, offer advice about taxes in your country. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you order.

        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.

      Beautiful Quality and sound

      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.
      True accessories indeed our mistake, sorry again. We have reposted and sent you the tracking information a few days ago, and you will receive it soon.

      Fun, simple.

      I am not a musician, but I can make a pleasant sound plucking it. I brought it to work and all my coworkers wanted to have a go. It gets out of tune quite easily. I can put it back in tune with a tuning app, and tapping the ends of the keys with the provided hammer, but I have not got it quite perfect. I bought one before that did not come with a tuning hammer, and it was perpetually out of tune, so this one is better, over all.

      Good deal for price but better products on the market

      This is a great little instrument! I do have a few concerns that were upsetting tho, three of my keys just don’t have a great sounds to them even after fixing the tune. Also one of my keys have a little rust on one key not to bad but snuff that I’m like this is annoying me. Secondly it didn’t come tuned I had to tune it myself and I had no idea how to fill I looked back at there listing page to see, they give you a little book on how to. The book was kinda helpful but in my opinion I wish they would give you a more step by step approach on how to play it with a couple more song choices. The wood is nice! Mine on the front sadly the wood burned symbol was to grainy so it’s like it wasn’t finished or it was rushed in production but for the money this isn’t a bad place to start your journey!

      really fun instrument

      I bought this for our (then 15) year old grandson for Christmas last year as an "extra" gift that might be something a little different. Wow, it was an instant hit, not only with my grandson, but with everyone in the family. everyone wanted a turn trying it out. Beautifully made and comes with instructions.
      pros
      high quality craftsmanship - really looks like a nice instrument.
      nice tone
      comes with instructions plus lots of online options for playing.
      cons
      if you are not musically inclined it'll be fun but may take you longer to master.
