Mixed feelings
I love the kalimba's. Very unique and high quality. But I have been struggling with the harpika. The accessories are too expensive for what they are. I have bought the wrong ones and I have to pay alot for just a two or three strings plus shipping so I get them, but I'm not gonna buy them anymore. I still like the kalimba's and I want two more of them.

Hello friend!
Thank you for taking the time to write review.
If you prefer to avoid the shipping fees , check the tutorial section of the website you will find the diameter and material of each string . This will allow you to go to your local music shop and purchase the closest one to the missing string .
Another possibility for later could be to actually purchase strings from the shop when you purchase a kalimba if you end up adopting one . As strings are lightweight , it will not cost more shipping than the kalimba alone.
In your local shop just make sure to ask for phosphor bronze strings ( the yellow ones ) or steel ( the silver ones ) and if they don't have exactly the same diameters , chose the smaller rather than the thicker if the difference is huge .
Have a very nice day :)
