Can you just tune up 1 tone?

That’s all I’m seeing, too. But I’m ordering anyway. It’s the only pack I found that had the 5mmx1mm, 3mm x1mm on Amazon. It’s $10.99 but if it makes it easier to tune and ply my Kalimbas without adjusting the tines when I want to play a song with different tuning then it’s worth it.
Hello where can I best purchase these? Iโm only seeing like 500 packs available and they are very cheap but I donโt need that many
Update: I simplified the steps ๐
