Pro Tips for Playing “Haggstrom”

1. The “Goldilocks” Thumbnail Length

It’s true that thumbnails that are too long can create an annoying clicking sound against the metal tines or get caught awkwardly during a smooth glide. However, you don’t want to cut them too short, either! If you play using only the soft flesh of your thumb, the sound will be dull, muted, and you might end up with sore fingers.

The sweet spot is keeping your thumbnails just about 2 to 3 millimeters past your fingertip. This gives you enough nail to produce a bright, crystal-clear tone, while keeping them short enough to prevent that distracting clicking noise. File the edges smoothly so your thumbs can glide effortlessly across the keys!

2. Let it Ring and Don’t Rush

“Haggstrom” is ambient music, meaning the atmosphere is just as important as the melody. The kalimba has a beautiful natural sustain, especially on the lower and middle tines. Don’t rush through the tabs! Let the longer notes ring out fully before moving to the next phrase. Allowing a little bit of silence or “breath” between the sections will make your performance sound much more expressive and relaxed.
