Step #2: Tune your Kalimba to C Major. After tuning your kalimba to C Major, change all C to C# , D to D#, F to F#, G to G# and A to A# ). Use gString app for tuning.


Step #3: Add magnets to C,D,F,G,A keys/tines only. 1 pc of 5mm magnet per tine and 2pcs of 3mm magnets per tine . Make sure to place the big and small magnets alternately so it wont magnetize each other.

If the song is C major and suddenly f# comes in the middle of the song
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.
