Those who have become musicians may find that it’s hard for them to follow their passion on a musical journey. Those who are still not musicians may think it will be a hassle taking instruments out to a festival. That can be true, however, the instrument depends in most cases on your instrument. It is not easy for backpackers to carry a piano in their suitcase but there are plenty of small instruments in existence that can easily be transported for roaming souls. It may appear cliché, but music has the power to connect people. These facts add a new benefit to travelers.

The harmonica is generally considered to be a melodic instrument, but over the centuries it has evolved to play accompaniment chords as well.
Flute
Originally a woodwind instrument, the flute was gradually made of metal as the industry developed. The soft and transparent sound of the flute is said to remind people of the endless blue sky. In addition, the flute can express a different side of emotion, with its rhythmic rhythms, which can lead to nostalgia for distant places. The flute has a wide range and is very expressive, especially when playing melancholy pieces, like a faint melancholy embedded in the heart.

Recorders are among the foremost woodwind instruments and are forerunners of the ultramodern flute. The archivist has a prophet and is played like a whoosh, by blowing directly into the top of the instrument. It’s a simple rustic tube, generally with eight finger holes, which are covered to produce different notes.

Over the centuries, famous composers from all over the world have written a large number of classical works for the violin, and violinists have injected their souls into this instrument and developed a mastery of the art of playing. The violin can be played both in ensembles and as a soloist.

In different African countries, the thumb piano has different names, for example, Kalimba is the name of the instrument in Kenya, while in Zimbabwe it is called Mbira, the Congolese call it Likembe, and it is also known by the name Sanza and Thumb Piano.
It is named primarily for the thumb that is used to pluck the lamellae on the body of the instrument (mainly made of wood, bamboo, and in modern developments, metal as well). The traditional thumb piano uses a resonator made from a gourd.
The kalimba instrument is very simple to play, just plucking the steel with the thumb to produce a crisp sound. The melody of the symphonic plate is produced by combining the left and right hands with the accompaniment of the harmony and playing as one.
