The crickets are held in not seldom beautifully made containers where they get served a healthy diet consisting of for example apples, rice and swine liver. All crickets do not naturally have a beautiful tone. This can a cricket tuner set right by carefully putting a drop of resin on the crickets wings. With a large number of tuned crickets the owner can if he or she wishes, form an entire orchestra of crickets..
