Hi All,

My 10-year-old has an 8-key kalimba she received from her grandmother, but the music book doesn't make a lot of sense with it. It refers to a kalimba where the longest tine is a C, but hers is G. Online, the maker says that her kalimba is in the key of C. However, the book references F/4, which her kalimba doesn't have.

I am adding pictures to show what we are working with.

Please help me figure out how to get this sorted. Do I need to buy a different book/kalimba, tune/label it somehow? For reference, my daughter can play piano and read music. Her teacher is good with theory and could theoretically help her transpose, but that seems so onerous across all the songs that she won't do very many of them. She is a fanatic for folk songs and especially for Christmas music, if anyone has a recommendation that would work with this instrument.

Thank you!!
