Here is my very first CB... anything.  It's a Kalimba in Gmaj.  I used an old Grass rake for the tines, and some old parts from a T-track for the clamp.  Pretty simple build, and sounds amazing.  Thaks to the Nation for all the tips and help!  Hope you enjoy the pics.

You can get a program called KTabs at http://ktabs.theirhouse.org/k... I've used it to help learn how to play a kalimba, and work out in advance new tunings. I think I paid $30 for the full version of the program that lets me print and save.

LOVE IT!!!!!! Nice work! Come join the Kalimba site and post some pics, vids and music! :-)
