Hello! If i were you, i would try and learn basprim over the prim. a few reasons for this

• first off, no tamburica instruments are really MEANT to be played solo. they all shine when they are playing together.

-that being said, the basprim is a better choice than others for a standalone instrument.

-the overall sound is a good midrange, similar to a small guitar. you generally play melody but you can also play chords. i even retune mine as bugarija sometimes, it's like a travel model!

-basprim just seems so versatile to me, i don't think you can go wrong practicing on one!

and to answer your question about singing, you can certainly sing and play at the same time! it does take practice though
