Wow, this is fun. I never heard of a Tapatar. The process of tapping is different than plucking. It allows more notes to be played at once.

I had my 11 yo watch this, as she was learning the viola. Just today she decided to switch to cello. (You hear that, Amy!) (Amy played the cello in the dorm, when we were in college.)
