Unless there’s some unique playing technique, this is basically like one of those “train whistles”. There is one main note, and holes on the sides allow for two more if you blow just right, but it’s extremely difficult to get anything resembling a melody out of it.EDIT: Actually, there IS a technique I wasn't aware of. The notes provide a rhythmic & tonal center for the player to vocalize the other notes around.

Could not get this thing to play a single sound. This must be for looks or a toy instrument. Save your money.
