Nail Problems? Easy Fixes For Kalimba Players



Kalimba nails! Some like it long, some like it short. But what happens when they tear or break?

Visiting a nail technician at a salon can result in a professional repair and finish. Though, if you prefer doing things yourself, some easy fixes for broken, split, or damaged nails can temporarily fix the issue.

Do note that these at-home repair tricks involve some amount of trial and error, so while a particular method might work, another may not. Also, depending on the number of chores you regularly do, these nail procedures will serve for a week.

Nail tools you will need

  • Nail glue or brush-on resin
  • Cotton
  • Nail files
  • Nail buffer
  • Acrylic powder
  • Clear base coat polish
  • Water

Flat Board Kalimbas in India - Dive Deep with the Hluru Ocean Resin Kalimba

Previously, we saw a number of pretty hollow kalimbas that are easily available to order online in India. This week we look at some of the best flat board kalimba styles in India that are too gorgeous to ignore and eager to be loved.

What's so special about a flat board kalimba? The main difference between this design and a hollow one is the absence of the internal chamber that creates that deep sound that so many have fallen in love with. The flat board kalimba, on the other hand, doesn’t have any chamber or sound outlet so volume is reduced. The upside is that this flat shape creates a beautiful balanced resonance that is clear and crisp and very relaxing to for player or listener.

Hluru 21 Keys Blue Ocean Whale Beech Wood Kalimba

It is absolutely thrilling to see this Hluru kalimba in India. This is what happens when you marry wood and acrylic kalimbas-- one very esthetically pleasing piece of art! A carefully polished beech wood kalimba has smooth curved edges for that feeling of ease and comfort in your hands. The fact that there are 21 keys means that you have an even wider rage of music to play. Plus, since it's in C-major you still get to play the majority of music freely available online and offline.

If 21 keys still seems a bit daunting, you're in luck! There is also a 17 key whale and jellyfish flatboard kalimba for those interested.
