Canon in D (Pachelbel): kalimba tabs
Johann Pachelbel wrote his Canon for three violins and basso continuo in the late 17th century. Here you play a simplified version of the violin line, transposed to C. The slow descending scale at the start sounds especially full on a kalimba.
Origin: Johann Pachelbel, late 17th century

How to play it
The first two lines are long notes walking down the scale, so your thumbs simply alternate. In the last two lines the notes are twice as fast: practise them slowly first.
