Hope all are alright. Anyone picked up any cool new hobbies lately? Anyone play harp? I’m thinking of picking it up, I already play quite a few instruments, but harp has the highest initial investment of any I’ve done so far.

I have a kalimba also! I used to be really good with it, but I stopped playing for a while and lost my thumb callouses. Such a beautiful instrument. I’ve long wanted to experiment with retuning it, but I didn’t want to risk making it unplayable.

I've tuned mine once because it got out of tune and it was fairly easy. I never tried to retune it, but as far as I know it's pretty much the same process and you can't really fuck this up. Don't worry too much. All you need is a little hammer and a tuner.
