My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I’m dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.

    What kind of kalimba would you recommend? I am dealing with what is probably some kind of auto-immune disease that’s attacking my fingers and wrists, so strong instruments would be hard, even now that my hands are getting better with the new medicine I’m on. My fingers are a bit fucked up in shape and I don’t have a super good range of motion. A kalimba seems like it’d be good because I can use my thumbs lol

      I got a really cheap one off Amazon for about $35 and my dad loves playing with it and is quite capable even with his Parkinson’s. Just make sure you get one that comes with a tuning hammer.
