Why is the universal children's instrument also universally horrible? Got right out of bed and instantly started playing it.

    Kalimbas are cool. Cheap and they sound lovely like a music box even if you don't know what you are doing. The sound is so nice that my cat has several times fallen asleep right beside me while I've played

      I got interested in kalimbas after googling "instruments what a dumbass could play" and they seem very cool. I was also considering a melodica.

        There are a bunch of instruments locked into a scale like the kalimba so you can never play a 'bad' note. I've got a tongue drum, some xylophones, and a ocarina for my kids to eventually start playing which are all like that

          Oh yeah xylophone also is underrated I think for sure. I don't even know what a tongue drum is.
