This year we are celebrating halloween by discovering new kalimba tabs. Some of these are simple whilst other may be more advanced requiring custom tuning. Learn to play the most famous popular spooky halloween music on the thumb piano kalimba this season. These tabs have been made to the best of my ability however as they are newly made, some errors may remain, if you find an error please do comment so that we can update the tabs.
