Jodi, I used to sell kalimbas to tourists at River Street Marketplace in Savannah, GA. I tuned them to the pentatonic scale because each note in that scale harmonizes with the others, so it's impossible to play a "sour" note. I would give them simple tips on how to start playing the instrument as a way of relaxing or meditating. I'm sure most of those folks were not musicians, but once they heard how beautiful it could sound, they all wanted one.

You're inspiring me to learn an instrument! My siblings and I all tried instruments when we were young, but our dog, a scottish terrier with monster ears, howled whenever we practiced.
