In the video I show how the instruments both sound and give a little demo of a song. There are 4 buttons on the trumpet. When one button is pressed, you get a single note. You can press, 2, 3 or even all 4 buttons to get a sound that is each pitch separately combined. I was somewhat confused on the trumpet, it had not only 4 buttons instead of 4, but the hole for your finger on the top should have been in front of the buttons instead of behind them. It would make sense if there were 3 buttons for the pinky to anchor, but since there are 4 buttons that hole is somewhat useless. Other than that, it does give off a rather clear sound.
The saxophone has 8 different buttons and a place for the left thumb on the back of the instrument. This one felt more true to the instrument with utilizing 8 buttons. It also allows for a more complex song to be played since you have an entire octave to mess around in. I personally enjoyed playing this one.
I think this is a great way to start out with win instruments, because it teaches that certain fingers make different sounds and also a somewhat lose way to hold the instruments. These are reed instruments though, they resemble a kazoo. You can add voice to them while blowing to give them a different sound, something I didn't show in the video. I definitely know that toddlers enjoy playing this, and it gets them interested in music, which I love. I do recommend this, just know that they aren't entirely true to the actual instruments in design or shape.
