Re: marimba, kalimba, steel drum sounds



You can buy a kalimba (well, maybe not an authentic one) for pretty cheap.
I got one for about 20 bucks this summer in a knick-knack type tourist
store.  It sounds pretty good.  I'm thinking of attaching a contact mic to
try looping, but I use a condenser for it now.  I haven't tried looping it
yet.
