It’s a great bit of fun that can produce interesting and surprising sounds. For a lot of musicians a fun piece of gear can be a source of inspiration, which can be very valuable. So yeah, it’s a toy, but you can make real music with toys.

Fwiw for anyone who wants to feed some bunnies, leafy greens are better for them than carrots. Give them a big bunch of parsley and they’ll love you forever.
