Ty super much. This helps with my autism. Fun to play. I can play most keyboard instruments and can read sheet music. So transitioning to string instrument is seamless, because I can get frustrated and lead to panic attacks (autism). You use both hands or one just like piano or organ. Always loved Japanese music. Ty.
