Not tunable, but worth playing, very cool horn. I previously posted that the bamboo version had better tone color, but was pitched on the sharp side for the 3 that I had owned; whereas the black hard rubber (or whatever it's made of) is pitched well, perhaps harder to control in the 2nd register. Using a different reed & ligature than what comes with it gives far more control on pitch & tonality. It does depend upon your preferred genres, styles, and mode of playing. It is still one of my favorite portable horns. Brian designed a good thing on this!

Can this produce accidentals?

Yes, it can play a full two octave chromatic scale starting on low c, it comes with a fingering chart that shows all the accidentals.

Does this use a clarinet size reed or sax reed?

It uses a tenor sax reed (The instrument was developed by an old sax player.), and it comes with a 2 1/2. Unless you already have clarinet or sax chops, I suggest you look for a 2 or 1 1/2 before it arrives at your house. The lower notes are difficult for a beginner. Good luck.

I can play a few songs on a tin whistle. How close is this to tin whistle fingering? Can you go up octives?

This is totally different than a tin whistle. I play this a lot but only know a scale. I do wish I would of gotten the other one with the more formed mouth piece. I am a sax and clarinet player. It does come with a book. I also watched several YouTube videos on this instrument. That may be the idea you might want to use.
