Bellows
By moving the bellows you can add expression and dynamics
to the sound. A variety of performance techniques are possible,
including "bellows shake" (rapidly opening and closing the
bellows).
The bellows’ inertia can be set with the resistance regulator and air
button.
When playing or carrying the instrument, please be careful not to
get your fingers pinched between the movable part and the panel.
In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult
provides supervision and guidance.
