Did you have a single coil on it like the one pictured? If so how did it sound?
It did and I really liked it! The only problem was that it wasn't even volume along the whole scale. I used a kalimba from a store and the spacing of the metal thingies wasn't fit for the pickup. It was either throwing four of them out or dealing with the higher tones not getting picked up. I decided to keep it like that. Would I build another, I'd probably just use a 7 string PU for it. And house a pot and the jack in a small hammond casing glued or screwed under the wooden part. Maybe try and find a more bassy Kalimba too, the higher pitched metal thingies did not vibrate enough to get picked up well either.

If you don't want it buy it anyway. I'd trade you a bunch of dirt pedals for it and pay for you to ship it to me.
