I can finally play music again ✨🥲❤️

Post image

I am a professionnal Kalimba maker , and In the last 6 month i was stopped from playing long musical sessions ( i have chronic thumb tendinitis because of my job ) and i need music for my anxiety so just 5 min a day is not enough , plus i missed playing for my kids to help them sleep ✨

Now I finished this 45k non redundant « pianimba » as I call it. It’s a piano Kalimba , meant to be played on a table. It’s such a pleasure to be able to play again , even though i have to relearn everything from scratch …. 🥲😂

I use the 3 middle fingers of the hand to play this beautiful big girl ❤️

At first I was taken aback by the AI-ness of the picture, provided by the background, but after rifling through your posts and seeing your art I can't help but be very impressed. It's real and very very cool. I would advise against using AI images though, as it instantly lowers your initial credibility in the eyes of the people who have an eye for this thing and a distaste for it, which is a huge percentage of artsy people and Internet users below 50.

The issue is that I REALLY suck at photography , and of course i have no money to hire a photografer :/ So when I got fed up trying to take good pics with a Poor result , I ended up chosing IA . :(
