@ianmartyn.bsky.social hasn't only been crucial to the kong's activities because of his vast VGM knowledge, he is also a prolific arranger, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. An integral part of several other groups of fauna, such as the one colloquially known as the "GrooveTroop". buff.ly/qqz39mD

Oh for sure! I play other wind instruments, but would need to get the embouchure down first. I have a minteki that I should really learn to play better, so that might be my entry point haha.
