I absolutely love the tone of this. It’s not loud but it’s so delicate in sound. All note resonate beautifully. The sound is clean and soft. I also have a hollow body to compare it to. It’s so beautiful. Absolutely no regrets. Hard to put it down.

Not what I expected.I bought this because someone recommended this saying it has similar tines to Lingting (soft and easy to press). And also because the photos provided by the seller and the reviews say that there are no engravings or markings on the tines. When the kalimba came, the tines are definitely not what I expected and they have rather sloppy stamp markings (they're not engraved, more like stamped? printed?)! Seriously though, the markings don't even look uniform. Some look lighter than the rest. Also, the tines are a nail killer. They are the hardest to press tines amongst all the kalimbas I own. I don't know why my Treelf is different than the ones in the reviews... :(HOWEVER, there are no dead, buzzing, or stiff tines. The sound is CRYSTAL CLEAR. The kalimba is heavy, even for an acrylic (it's the heaviest acrylic, and even kalimba that I own). But I don't find this an issue. Also, it's cute. There's a noticeable scratch on the body but it is thankfully right below the tines so you don't notice it when you're playing. But it can be seen on the other side.

First of all, I love the size. It's perfect for my larger hands. Also, I love the weight. it is heavier than a hollow or flatboard kalimba. All the engraved keys sound great, even the very high ones. It is somewhat quieter than other kalimba's. This works great when I'm playing while my wife watches her cooking shows. I have many kalimba's (It's a sickness 🤣) but this is the one that is usually sitting next to me. I would say that it is every bit as good as my LingTing 21 key.

I was hoping to find a round acrylic kalimba with 21 keys, but this was the only acrylic one I could find at all that had 21 instead of 17. It arrived out of tune and with all the tines slanted to the left (like ///// instead of ||||| ) so it took me a little while to get everything where it should be. There was also a bit of residue on a few places and the finish is a bit off on one of the tines. The residue cleaned right off and the tine plays just fine, so it's cosmetic. That said:PROS- It has a nice, solid feel while playing. The placement of the cat ears makes it easy to rest your fingers against them for support.- The sound is clear and dreamy with a long sustain. Definitely the most "music box" sounding kalimba.- So far it's held the tuning quite well even after extended play time and travel.CONS- For some it may be a little too heavy to play for long periods, especially if you have joint pains already.- The extra keys make the instrument wider, so it may be awkward for those with smaller hands.- It comes prepared to be played in the key of F Major (sticker notes/numbers align to that key). I re-tuned mine to C Major by raising the Bb keys to B, but there are no stickers to adjust for this and you have to keep a mental note of the change because your numbers won't line up for tabs.Overall I'm happy with it. If you plan to play songs on it that are meant for a 17-key kalimba, you may have to get creative with some of your crossovers but it's completely doable.

This is a beautiful sounding instrument and lovely to look at. I recommend picking one up for yourself and a friend. It's so peaceful to play and cat shaped too. Just get one ♥

I wouldn't buy a 21 key kalimba as the first one for a beginner. The little ones I have are fun to carry with me and if I see a bored child I will get it out and begin plucking the tines which usually gets them interested. I will ask the parent who is usually frustrated about as much as the child is bored if I can show their little person how to play and that gives me and the child something to do together! Even the 17 key would be good for an other child that has an ear for tones and could probably pluck out a simple song like twinkle twinkle little star in no time, but with 21 key - that one is mine to play. I love the acrylic over the wood ones as they are sturdy and solid, but have a wonderful sound to them. The "ears" are great to have your hands rest against while your thumbs pluck the tines. Excellent kalimba!
