The lightest Bina in the range at 7 to 8 kg, and the one that actually travels. Folded down it is 19 by 12 by 7 inches, so it fits a car boot or an overhead locker without argument. Two and a half octaves is a deliberate trade: you lose the top and bottom extremes, and gain an instrument you will actually carry to class.
Suits: Players who move between homes, classes or venues more than they play in one place.
