Frequently Asked Questions

No, its single key limits its use to very specific, simple passages; it’s more of a novelty item for educational or historical purposes.
The rubber bellows are surprisingly well-made for the price point, but constant, vigorous pumping will eventually show wear – treat it with reasonable care.
It works well for adding a unique, historical flavor to marches, folk tunes, or ceremonial music where a single, sustained note is desired.
