Kalimba Studio helps you tune a physical kalimba, understand its centre-out layout, learn rhythm from number tabs, and practise without ads.
TUNE AND CARE FOR EVERY TINE
• Read the detected note, cents offset, and signal confidence.
• Get one-tap-at-a-time hammer guidance only after a clean reading.
• Follow a least-force buzz guide: isolate, centre, clear, then stop before unsafe torque.
• Keep the tuner and care centre without a subscription.
TABS THAT TEACH RHYTHM
• See duration-proportional number tabs instead of rhythm-blind number sheets.
• Hear a phrase first, slow it to 50%, scrub, and repeat an A-B section.
• Practise with an audible metronome.
• Compare timing and tine-choice results separately in Play-Along.
HONEST WAIT MODE
• One distinct, confidence-gated physical pluck advances each expected note.
• Overtone-aware listening asks you to retry when the signal is unclear and never turns uncertainty into a wrong-note verdict.
• Microphone audio is processed on the device and is not recorded, saved, or uploaded.
• Guide playback is suspended while microphone grading is active.
FITS YOUR KALIMBA
• Switch among 8, 10, 15, 17, and 21-key C layouts.
• Lesson arrangements are re-fitted to real tines without chromatic note substitutions.
• On standard 17-key C, 68 of the 80 rights-reviewed graded melody lessons fit; 12 incompatible melodies are explicitly withheld.
• Every release row carries an approved public-domain source ledger; no unresolved song, malformed-meter row, or unreviewed song-name chart tier is bundled.
MAKE AND SHARE YOUR OWN TABS
• Write notes, rests, chords, bars, and exact beat durations.
• Preview every musical token before saving.
• Export clean rhythm-aware PNG and PDF sheets.
• Your private tabs stay on this device unless you choose to share an export.
