The Hokema kalimba Tuning Tool is a useful tool that can help you tune your kalimba. It is made from stainless steel and is a great way to safely tune the metal key tines without damaging the instrument. At the end of the rod it is slightly curved which allows the tine to sit inside for easy tuning. I have previously made tutorial videos on how to tune a thumb piano kalimba in the past and did it by hand, as a result my thumbs became very sore. Afterwards, I tried tuning the instrument with a tuning hammer but found the experience quite difficult due to the awkward positions when hitting the tine. This Hokema kalimba Tuning Tool in combination with the tuning hammer makes the process of tuning the kalimba so much easier and reduces the risk of damaging your instrument.
