Question 1

My husband has arthritis. Would he have difficulty paying this?

Accepted Answer

Hi!   I deal with a lot pain, stiffness and weakness in my hands due to rheumatoid arthritis. I love my Gecko Kalimba In Koa wood! I find that it’s not heavy and it’s easy to hold. It doesn’t require a strong muscle grip  to hold a Kalimba it basically just sits in your hands and the fingers cradle it while it’s played with the thumbs- which in my case they can be very stiff with inflammation but it helps me to exercise them! I don’t have much strength in my hands but I can definitely play my Kalimba- :) I find that it melts stress away and surprisingly it helps with the stiffness caused by arthritis.  It’s a dose of Happy with a side affect of relaxation and many smiles!  I hope and pray the best for you and your husband. :)

Question 3

I have no training in music. How steep will the learning curve with the Kalimba be?

Accepted Answer

I was in the same boat and that's why I got the Kalimba it's very easy to learn with no background in music.
