Overview
Replacement Keys for Kalimba 21 Keys Set of Steel Tines with Wooden Bridges Metal Bar and Screws Silver Repair and Construction

The replacement key set is designed for a kalimba with 21 keys and includes all the parts that make up the keyboard of the thumb piano. Inside the package, you will find 21 steel keys, two wooden bridges, a metal bar with grooves for the keys, a metal rod, and screws. The keys are made from manganese steel, which is flexible and gives the instrument a clear and bright tone. The surface is galvanically treated, repeatedly ground, and the edges are bevelled, making the keys smooth and shiny. The keys have a thickness of 1.0 mm and are treated to prevent corrosion.

On the back of the keys, there are engraved marks that help you quickly find the correct position for each key during assembly. The set is useful when a key on your kalimba bends, breaks, or is lost, but also for DIY enthusiasts who want to build their own kalimba with 21 keys on a wooden or acrylic body. The wooden bridges, metal bar with grooves, and rod form a mounting that holds the keys securely and evenly spaced. The screws then reliably secure the entire assembly to the body of the instrument. The installation photograph shows how the set looks once installed on a transparent kalimba body.

Before replacement, take a photo of the original layout of the keys or note their order so that the instrument can be easily tuned after assembly. Tighten the screws gradually and evenly to ensure the bar presses all the keys with the same force. After assembling the kalimba, fine-tune by adjusting individual keys, and occasionally wipe the metal parts with a dry soft cloth to maintain their shine and prevent moisture or fingerprints from remaining on them.

Replacement keys for a kalimba with 21 keys are a practical solution to restore the instrument's full functionality without the need to buy a new one. The set made of manganese steel contains flexible keys with a clear tone, wooden bridges, and metal parts for their attachment. It is suitable for repairing a damaged kalimba or for home building of your own instrument, which can be undertaken by music enthusiasts and DIYers alike. Thanks to the engraved marks on the keys, assembly is quick and straightforward. The set is also a suitable supply of spare parts for anyone who regularly plays the kalimba.
