Kalimba tabs as number notes
An independent community library of free kalimba tabs in .klby format, compatible with the Kalimbay app.
3 tabs, written for
a 34-tine chromatic board (17 natural positions plus sharps). 1 of them need no sharps, so they also play on a plain 17-key
kalimba. Each page shows the tab in number notes and letter notes; the
.klby file opens it in the app.

What the numbers mean
Numbers are tine positions,
not pitch names: 1 = C4, 2 = D4 … 7 = B4, then
1' = C5 and 1'' = C6. A # after the number
is a sharp (4# = F#4). Parentheses mean notes played at the same time, a
dash means a slide.
