Description
Plays both low and high pitched notes so is a very versatile instrument. This allows it to play the melody (main tune) and harmony (back up part).
Things to consider
- Requires fine motor skills and strong fingers
- Fingers need to completely cover tone holes so would best suit students with medium to thick fingers
