5 out of 5 starsThe internet seems flooded with cheap mass-produced kalimbas and I was beginning to lose hope of finding one that would suit the person it was intended for. This kalimba is beautiful and has a wonderful sound. Thank you so much for the beautiful piece, its sturdy packaging, and the quick arrival.

5 out of 5 starsI had a hard time giving this to the recipient because of how nice this turned out, and wanted to keep it for myself. Beautiful craftsmanship, and I plan on ordering another in the near future for myself.

5 out of 5 starsRecently purchased a custom built "fretless" 3 string CBG from New Egypt Folk Strings. This is my second purchase from their shop in the last six months. Both instruments are uniquely beautiful, superbly crafted, rock solid builds. Many thanks to Jim Milligan for your creative genius, attention to detail and a pleasant experience from start to finish.

5 out of 5 starsMy husband loves, loves, loves his CBG. Thank you to the owner, Jim for making this birthday delivery early! This is an instrument my guitar-playing husband would have picked for himself. As a b-day gift, he took to it immediately. He said it’s a beautiful, well-crafted instrument, and promptly ordered a 2nd!
