It has a quite pleasant sound once you get it in tune, if you do get it in tune. The strings break very easily, I would recommend to tune it one whole step down from what is written on it. If you tune it "right" you are dangerously close to the strings snapping. The tuning pegs also do not seem very stable, some are bent inwards from the string tension (or just not screwed in straight from the factory?)
Sadly I spent more time tuning this thing than actually playing it
Other than that the look and feel of the instrument is alright, and it wasn't terribly expensive. But all in all, I can not recommend this instrument.

Etant en possession d un kalimba, je souhaitais m‘essayer à ce harpika, petit instrument récent et assez intrigant.
Un son très aérien et une belle facture.
2 bémols:
- les cordes graves sont très lâches, et ne sont donc pas précises dans la note restituée.
- l’accordage se joue au quart de millimètre, voire parfois à la torsion (involontaire) des clés d’accordage. Ceci est particulièrement agaçant sur les susdites cordes graves.
A part cela, cet instrument est très agréable!

Being in possession of a kalimba, I wanted to try my hand at this harpika, a small, recent and quite intriguing instrument. A very airy sound and a beautiful workmanship. 2 downsides: - the bass strings are very loose, and are therefore not precise in the note reproduced. - tuning is done to the quarter of a millimeter, or sometimes even by (unintentional) twisting of the tuning keys. This is particularly annoying on the aforementioned bass strings. Other than that, this instrument is very nice!
