Sometimes we have a noise on one of the keys of the kalimba, which makes a distinct sizzling sound when played.
The "sizzle sound" can appear on any kalimba at any time.
What is the problem causing the noise?
Changes in temperature and humidity can cause the keys to resonate.The thumb piano is idle for a long time and may also have noise.In the land of the Kalimba, Africans put shells or soda caps on the instrument to create a "hiss" sound while playing.A removable sand hammer is mounted on an Afro to achieve this effect.
Kalimba noise processing method
Fine tuning method:
First, try to fine-tune the keys, gently lifting them up and putting them down, and gently pressing them down.If at some point the noise disappears, fine tune the left and right keys so that they are evenly distributed, generally not much.This method can generally solve most of the noise problem, if there is still a sound after trying, you can use the pad of paper method.
Paper:
Cut a piece of regular office paper into thin strips, preferably thinner, otherwise it will affect the resonance of the keys.Lift the noisy keys, slide the note between the keys and the lower pillow, put the keys down, the paper is sandwiched between the keys and the lower pillow, and finally tear off the excess paper.
