Colt’s Commentary – May 2024

 

Hey there,

Today is National Buy a Musical Instrument Day!

For any music lovers out there, today might be a great excuse to add to that collection.

In the spirit of the holiday, I’ve DRUMMED up some interesting facts about instruments.

  • The harmonica was invented in 1821 by Christian Buschmann, but other variations of the instrument are thought to have existed much earlier.
    • It was also one of the first instruments played in space.
  • The most popular instrument in the United States is the piano.
  • The biggest known tuba in the world weighs more than 100lbs!

Have fun playing your new instrument. It’s about time I practice my Harmonica skills!
