Default Glued a kalimba to my acoustic bass and made this kalimbass thing

Glued a 9 tone kalimba to my 5 string bass with double sided tape to make this... thing that I call kalimbass.

This happens when the metal playing gets to stale.
Little percussive playing aswell

Agree, nice mix of sounds. Does the kalimba ever sympathetically resonate when you are playing bass?

Very cool.

A kalimba with a flat back firmly duct-taped to a hollow door becomes gigantic-sounding. Really useful in the studio as long as you don't mind being down on your knees to play it.

Sadly not! I wish it would tho.

Would a kalimba with a reso body (hollow) possibly resonate?
