Frequently Asked Questions
No, it's primarily a novelty toy. While capable of creating melodies, its limited range restricts serious composition.
Pitch is controlled by squeezing the 'neck' – it takes practice to achieve accurate notes, and it’s quite sensitive.
Expect primarily synthesized tones – think quirky, warbly sounds. It doesn't produce realistic acoustic instrument sounds.
