So, if everything is tuned correctly, there are no sharps or flats so you can play the song wherever you want to on your kalimba. Some songs are supposed to sound low, while others sound high! I hope that made some sense Linda and anyone else who reads this. ~

Linda, the first 7 tines (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) > (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) will be: even numbers to the left, odd numbers right.
(6, 4, 2) < (1) > (3, 5, 7)
Then the next 7 tines (C°, D°, E°, F°, G°, A°, B°) > (1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°) will be opposite: even numbers to the right, odd numbers left.
(7°, 5°, 3°, 1°, ) < > (2°, 4°, 6°)
Then the next 3 tines (C°°, D°°, E°°) > (1°°, 2°°, 3°°) will be opposite again.
(2°°) < > (1°°, 3°°)
(2°°) < (7°, 5°, 3°, 1°, ) < (6, 4, 2) < (1) > (3, 5, 7) > (2°, 4°, 6°) > (1°°, 3°°)

How are you supposed to know which side of a 17 tine kalimba to play a note on?
