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

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.

Chaos uncle energy. Where do you get all those novelty 2 dollar bills?

higher quality recorders sound much better than the injection molded ones they give to kids.

Also consider a melodica. The cheap ones still sound okay, plus you can play chords!

Bonus points if you get your kid listening to Augustus Pablo lol
