First off, please know that this Kalimba is tuned to B-tone. You can still play songs that are in the more common tuned C-major Kalimbas. It has a deeper tone I actually like a lot. I immediately noticed how nice the sound is, the tines are not as stiff and even being a flat-board style, the volume is still very good and pleasing. It is made of eucalyptus wood, smooth with a nice scent. I imagine that will fade over time. I don't mind it at all. There are no number/letter stickers but they are etched into the keys and large enough to see well. I most likely will get some note stickers because I still am a newbie and prefer stickers. There is no case but it comes with a tuning hammer, cleaning cloth(a very nice one) a thin drawstring bag and a very good instruction booklet. For this price I'll gladly forgo a carrying case and note stickers! I'm really happy with this Kalimba!

I bought this as a gift for a nephew to irritate my brother. It didn't work as my nephew had some talent and can now play this Kalimba very well. It is well made and sounds good if the person using it has some talent. I will have to buy my nephew something else to irritate my brother.

This kalimba is a joy to listen to, hold and overall play. It's perfect except it's tuned to a pentatonic scale, not a diatonic, which means I can't use it for the songs I want. However, it's just so nice I'm keeping it anyway.

1st and foremost I got the camphor one and so it smells awesome when you open the Box! This being my 3rd gecko kalimba!! I was not surprised at the quality. Perfect if One wants to keep it in their pocket or bag...backpack close by and travel. Or it's perfect for little hands of children to learn to play. The sound quality is shocking like good for such a tiny item. You cannot go wrong with gecko

This little kalimba more than exceeded my expectations! The wood is camphor, and has the most wonderful scent. This kalimba is extremely well made, and shows incredible attention to detail. The tines are smooth and shiny. Perfectly in tune. NO dead tines. Even the highest notes resonate beautifully. Love the tassel that comes with it. Has great accessories not found with other small kalimbas. Just love it!

I ordered this item after a long debate. At the same time I also ordered a different type because I wanted one sooner. This Kalimba has everything included, tuning hammer, velvet pouch, tassel and tether and a well fitting box with small song book. The item sounds better and will retain its sound better because it can be well protected when not in use. It also has the beautiful design on the face, its just a gorgeous piece. This item is very much worth the extra few days and dollars.

My sister wanted a 21 key Kalimba for birthday present so I ordered the gecko 21 key made with camphor wood and she loved it. I took piano lessons 40+ years ago and taught piano.My musical instrument of choice was the Native American flute made of ash wood but after two injuries to my left hand I can no longer pla my instrument of choice. snapped ligamentsand broken left index fingerI watched my sister play the Kalimba so that Got me looking for a Kalimba small enough to play with one hand. So l bought this little 8 key version and the sound quality is much better than expected From such a tiny little Kalimba. VERY IMPRESSED.If you are interested in a Kalimba l can personally recommend the brand Gecko. I have also heard high praise for the brands Kimi, and linguTing

Received as ordered, but upon inspection there is a nick in one of the piano keys. Would like to return it, as I am disappointed.

Purchased it 3 weeks ago. Delivery arrived 2 weeks early so pretty happy about that.There was a strong eucalyptus smell from the box, which I didn’t mind.The instrument was pretty well-made in my opinion and the sounds were clear.The only feedback that I have is that the advertising should have made it clear that the instrument is in B-tone, not C. It was hard to see just from the pictures.Took a bit of time to adapt to the tabs for tone C.Overall, pretty happy with the purchase.
