Touch alone
Bra the Twin with both hands so that each thumb can reach one of the games. Thumbs can now touch the nine tones on both sides of the instrument. Cada notes his twin on the other side that resonates when he touches his 'brother'. Playing alternately with both thumbs, different tone sequences can be produced that touching in a single kalimba with the same tuning. Separate you can play a wide range of other scales by simply refining individual tones.
Playing in duo
The real reason that led to the development of the Twin Kalimba was the desire to have an instrument to play together. Terapeuta/patient, couples, members the family, friends, etc. The identical tuning of the two note games ensures scales of harmonious tones and sounds. The resonance of the tones is captured by the wooden body and the companion can feel it physically. The kalimba remains tuned when touched, but the tuning can be changed if desired. Therefore, there are also possible different scales on both sides of the instrument that differ but that nevertheless harmonize each other.
