Tines: 21 (Not suitable for standard 17-tine kalimba)

Key: E Major

Melody: Yes

Harmony: Yes

Lyrics: Yes

 

To play this song in E Major, just transpose your 21-tine kalimba (which are in C Major tuning but it starts at the F tine) down by the following step:

 

F → E

G → F#

A → G#

B → A (one whole down step)

C → B

D → C#

E → D#

F → E

G → F#

A → G#

B → A (one whole down step)

C → B

D → C#

E → D#

F → E

G → F#

A → G#

B → A (one whole down step)

C → B

D → C#

E → D#

 

Alternatively, you can play the song in F Major, which is much easier to adjust on a 21-tine kalimba since all you have to do is just lower the B tines by a half step to Bb, and you’re good to go.

Hope you all enjoy my arrangement of this song! ^O^
