Following La Marche d’Aincourt Challenge, we’re inviting you to Tonio’s Place challenge!
Record yourself playing the first phrase of the song and try to win an ARKIA Signature Peyrelevade!

Tonio’s Place is a song from Jérôme Peyrelevade and Cyril Cianciolo first album : Kiffosaurus Rex.

This time, the theme includes a 4 overblow, and potentially a 5 overblow if you play the theme on Richter tuned harp. The 5 overblow is not required if you play on a Lydian tuned harp.
