How difficult is it?

How long does it take?
Four to six weeks.
A rule of thumb, not a rule – how fast it goes depends on prior experience and practice time. This level is an assessment, not a measurement: most pieces exist in arrangements ranging from heavily simplified to concert level. The rating refers to the common arrangement.
Which instrument suits it?
Lives on low, short basses. Needs touch response, or the difference between pulse and melody disappears.
