    A YouTube short led to another instrument

    Yep. I saw this... Then then others showed up on my feed. I sent the young lady a question about which whistle she played, because I couldn't find the one she listed. Turns out is was a "mezzo A" whistle. In the mean time I watched tutorials and found a review of one in A that I liked. So, I...

    I stumbled into this video and I never knew that multiple keyboards would play at the same time and keeys would be pressed when you use that big row of pedals. Holy cow! How long does that take to learn?
