Volevo cortesemente chiedere un consiglio vorrei avvicinarmi conr divertimento alla diamonica. Quindi mi piacerebbe suonare delle melodie. Nel caso occasionalmente delluso della mano sinistra questa solitamente accompagna tipo pianoforte (chiave di fa) o abbellisce suinando degli accordi? Lo chiedo perché vorrei sapere quale tipo di studio sarebbe piu auspicabile per suonare la melodica. In ultimo vorrei acquistare una melodica di 3 ottave con 37 tasti (se non sbaglio) grazie

You can use the left hand to play chords or single notes to accompany the melody. The lower notes can sound louder than the higher ones, so in general it’s best to keep chords short.and to a maximum of two notes.

For me the action is too stiff on the vibrandoneon, so I prefer playing the cheaper one

Sir, I love how you are playing the instrument. Could you explain how you get that stutter like sound when you play? I don't know if stutter is a good description, but it makes the music very beautiful and I find it fairly hard to replicate.

You can pretty much make music on ANYTHING!! The " Africans" have proven that to the extreme, buy using coffee cans and plastic buckets. I used to have that argument with photographers, they always expected the " new" digital camera with more megapixels to have " magician included" inside. So that they would get award winning photos by simply pointing and shooting at anything. Nothing in art works that way. I grew up with the melodica, would play all the " Genesis" solos by heart and along with the band from our record player, and loud!! This wasn't done to " practice " but as an almost religious obsession to play in unison with the " Band" Its videos like your that have rekindled my interest in the instrument now as an older person, Genesis was 50 years ago!!

lol. So true, people don’t realise that bigger file sizes don’t make better photos. This quest for more and more definition where less often looks better in my opinion. Glad you’re back on the old melodica 😀

Super glue is amazing...I bought a busted up Kawai FS750 for $15 because it had a bunch of broken keys...I made a mold of the keys, and cast the broken ones in epoxy resin...and then super glue them back on, as well as super glue the not so bad ones back together. It's been almost a decade now and it is still holding up to near daily abuse. I also managed to paint match the yellowed keys and you can't even tell which keys have been repaired unless you look real hard. I have been thinking about making myself an electric melodica...but I am cheap, so I think I'd use one of those cheap ones as a base for the build. I would probably just end up using the "skeleton" as you've called it here. I have also been interested in trying some accordion reeds vs harmonica reeds. Or maybe both with a "switch" of sorts to go between / blend them. I think I would cast the cheap plastic keys in some nicer resin, adding some weight in the process. To make it electric, I would use some assortment of acoustic guitar pickups / preamps. I have seen people use them on harmonica, can't see why they wouldn't work on something like this. That would allow me to send it through pedals and whatnot.

I'm really addicted to the melodica now! It all started when I was an Uber driver, a passenger was talking about this little instrument that didn't need any power, you just blew into it! Curious, I searched on KZbin and came across this channel. Sonically to me, the melodica sounds a lot like a harmonica. I personally find harmonicas really hard to play though! I've just bought my first one, a very cheap Chinese model with 25 keys. It plays surprisingly well, I seemed to really bond with the instrument and likely will only be the start of my melodica journey!
