If you are going to play the following video on a mobile phone, it is preferable that you do it with headphones.
The pentatonic scale is also called the "no fault scale". It starts out like "Do-Re-Mi", skips "fa", continues with "So-La", and skips "Ti". So, there are 5 notes. You can play in G major or E minor. This is an excellent kalimba for people with little or no musical experience, but experienced musicians can really fly on this one, as the pentatonic scale lets you apply all your speed and shine almost without you having to think at all (yes, you remember the "blues scale" on guitar -- this is it!) With pick-up.
