Why is the universal children’s instrument also universally horrible? Got right out of bed and instantly started playing it.

    Why is the universal children’s instrument also universally horrible?

    They’re plastic and cheap as fuck to make. RIP to your ears. Maybe you can ocarina-pill your kiddo.

    Edit: I got mine a ukulele since she kept dragging guitars and banjos around the house. Still a little too young to learn to play it, but she enjoys it shrug-outta-hecks

    The bass recorder is dope as hell, though.

      Fr. Woodwinds are amazing, but cheap recorders suck and giving any kind of flute to a hyperactive kid is a generally poor decision.

      That’s why I was the cool uncle for giving my nephew a harmonica. /s

      But seriously, I gave him both a harmonica and a train whistle and I’m pretty sure my sister wanted to kill me for it.
