Unilateral move
[edit]This should not have been moved unilaterally; I don't see any discussion proposing this. The official website exclusively presents the instrument's name in capitalized form. What has been done is akin to presenting the Chapman Stick as the chapman stick--incorrect. Badagnani (talk) 20:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Date
[edit]When exactly was it invented, and when was it released to the public? Badagnani (talk) 20:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Unilateral Move
[edit]There is no other manufacturer for this instrument at present. What genre should it be presented as? Franis (talk) 04:23, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't understand your question. Badagnani (talk) 04:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Since there is only one manufacturer -- and they happen to have invented it -- I'd say that this Wiki article amounts to an advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 20:25, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- I don't believe anything forbids there being a Wikipedia article for a product for which there is only one manufacturer. It has been used in a few well-known TV shows & movies, so I'd say it's notable enough. I've added some references. Hopefully the article won't get deleted again.

- I think it is appropriate for the array mbira to have a Wikipedia article, but the current article definitely reads like an advertisement for the most parts. 2001:14BB:420:158B:C14:6A0B:DA34:FE6E (talk) 22:57, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Year
[edit]What year was it first invented, first built, and first sold on the market? Badagnani (talk) 04:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- In this Facebook post, the inventor claims that it was conceived in 1984 and first built in 1985. I'm not sure if a personal claim on Facebook can be used as a reference in the article or not. Esn (talk) 09:46, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Not the only one
[edit]"There is only one unimorphic planar system available on an instrument at this time, and that is the system used for organizing the Array mbira." What about the Fokker organ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriaan_Fokker —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.64.121 (talk) 01:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
120 Notes spanning 5 octaves
[edit]How is this supposed to work? Last I checked, an octave had 12 notes? --2A02:8070:E284:B100:8D07:AE02:45D2:409F (talk) 19:25, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
