This musical instrument charges with a standard USB cable, included in the box. It also lets users record their musical creations. Pair it with the app, or use it as a stand alone instrument with no musical background or knowledge required. Kids can pick up the controller and start playing. A built-in speaker with volume control broadcasts their sounds. Plug in headphones to keep things quieter. Want more noise? Add an amplifier for maximum sound.
