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.

It’s also very portable and basic ones are very inexpensive. It’s also nice to explicitly see the relationship between music and the notes when you’re learning.
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.
I am by no means the right person to ask about music instruments from a critical eye or critical ear perspective.
The one that picked up I got off of AliExpress and it is pretty reasonable for sound and durability. I’m sure there’such better choices for someone who wants to have a nicer one.
