How to play the fingered piano

Thumb piano is an African national musical instrument, which is mainly used for accompaniment. Hold the piano body with both hands, and then play it with two thumbs. When the thumb is pressed and released, the steel sheet will produce mechanical waves and make a sound.

The common keys of the thumb piano are 17 or 2 1, which are very suitable for the song "Little White". In addition to the few keys, the music score of the thumb piano is relatively simple compared with the small musical instruments of the same type, such as Creary. If you basically know the tones that each key can emit, you can get started quickly according to the music score.

Note that nails and fingertips should touch metal keys at the same time. But don't let your nails be too long or too short.
