600+ Popular Kalimba Song Tabs (Collection)

Tune your F’s to F#‘s and it gives you the key of G to play in but you can’t use tab you must use sheet music with notes of play by ear. Works for songs that sound too high in C.

On a kalimba with 17 notes the notes read left to right are D’’(2’’),B’(7’),G’(5’),E’(3’),C’(1’),A(6),F(4),D(2),C(1),E(3),G(5),B(7),D’(2’),F’(4’),A’(6’),C’’(1’’),and E’’(3’’)
No sharps no flats

So, if everything is tuned correctly, there are no sharps or flats so you can play the song wherever you want to on your kalimba. Some songs are supposed to sound low, while others sound high! I hope that made some sense Linda and anyone else who reads this. ~

Linda, the first 7 tines (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) > (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) will be: even numbers to the left, odd numbers right.
(6, 4, 2) < (1) > (3, 5, 7)
Then the next 7 tines (C°, D°, E°, F°, G°, A°, B°) > (1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°) will be opposite: even numbers to the right, odd numbers left.
(7°, 5°, 3°, 1°, ) < > (2°, 4°, 6°)
Then the next 3 tines (C°°, D°°, E°°) > (1°°, 2°°, 3°°) will be opposite again.
(2°°) < > (1°°, 3°°)
(2°°) < (7°, 5°, 3°, 1°, ) < (6, 4, 2) < (1) > (3, 5, 7) > (2°, 4°, 6°) > (1°°, 3°°)

Center is Middle C. Right hand side is half notes. Left side whole notes.
