Niccolo the cricket would like to become a musician. But which instrument should he start with? The violin? The guitar? The trumpet? All at once? Well, he does have six limbs, so why not? In any case, Niccolo and his trusty companion Luciano the nightingale travel the world as they learn about musical instruments of all kinds, some familiar to us, some less common. If you are interested in music at least a little, join Niccolo and Luciano and learn the stories of musical instruments along with them.
