Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it, I am using a German Hohner HM-36 Professional 36 Melodica. There are many other melodicas in the market. I personally would suggest to find an Eolina or a Vibrandoneon (are similar to the melodicas but made with wood), for a deeper tone, still the one in this video is a basic melodica that I have for more than 20 years, I used it to experiment overdubbing with my piano comping. It was a fun experiment, I am glad you liked it.

I want to play like that. So beautiful :' )

[@TheCJHutchison]

You have achieved a beautiful tone on this, I struggle with my melodica, I can't get the same sort of emotion as I can on my sax or piano

[@marioduenasmusic]

Thank you for your comments and generous compliments. New projects are coming soon, stay tuned for more. "Beliefs", electric piano solo by Mario Dueñas will be released on November 16, 2015. Pre-order now: iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/beliefs/id1052374752 Amazon: amzn.com/B017378SBU

I was about to go to bed when I came across this song and had to log in to leave a comment. This is absolutely wonderful! You are an amazing musician, and a wonderful jazz artist, keep up the great work!

[@7notemode]

Your delivery is emotionally deep and well nuanced. I love your vibrato. Wonderful playing!

[@johnnypastrana6727]

Bravo! I love your presentation as you play it with such feeling which is the heart soul of the melodica.

[@McZebra]

Yesss, so good. Inspiring for a learner of jazz melodica

[@Lot2learn]

[@louisboyer3919]

a time for love johnny mandel would sound brill in your hands

[@attaqueramonero]

muy bueno!

[@scootersalih]

nice man! you got a really nice & soft sound.. sounds like a harmonica at some point :)

[@clevelandpianostudio]

I absolutely love your playing on this tune so much, you are the best melodica player I've found on KZbin. I have an Excalibur 37 that I've only had a year or so and it's gotten all rusty and oxidized really fast even after always blowing out thru spit hole, thinking the Hohner HM 36 Pro now instead. Thanks for your beautiful playing.

[@marioduenasmusic]

Thank you so much!

[@danielfelixson]

que bien tocas! hay un sitio con mp3s disponibles para descargar o por lo menos con mas canciones enteras?

[@Tinyjb0]

EnvyOfVega There are some melodicas with a key/button at the bottom, when pressed repeadilly, will make the vibrato effect.

[@AquaStarDolphin]

Actually that's the moisture release valve. You should modulate the strength of your breath to accomplish tremolo.

[@Blink182POPPUNK]

Alex Hoteck I know that at least with certain melodicas, you can create vibrato by altering the pressure you put on the key/keys.

[@MrMjp58]

Am considering buying a melodica, but a little put-off by the rasping quality of the sound on some demos. Now I know they can be played sensitively, and with due regard to dynamics.

[@MrNeroleoni]

prejudice you may send me the score of My Funny Valentine (Rodgers Hart _) x I love how the melody sounds and I also would like to learn through

[@EnvyOfVega]

Very elegant. How do you obtain that tremolo effect?

[@hergutter]

Are there any editions in the sound? That's a way too nice melodica for me to believe it's real, woah. Was it expens

[@1atalia8]

*-* ! me encanto! como obtener partitura o notas para melódica??

[@marioduenasmusic]

Thank you! This was a spontaneous arrangement. Music of the moment, using what I remembered to be the basic structure of the song frequently found on Jazz Real Books. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@sharaabrahamian5983]

the one that you have is a wonderful melodica, sadly Hohner does not make it any more ...

[@officialdeklentar]

hola un saludo cuento con una melodica hohner student 32 me gustaría poder interpretar su música no cuenta con partituras ???

[@junihno]

[@OsvaldoTapia1]

Algien pudiera Pasar las notas

[@satriopay]

[@joanitaylor]

[@adondebass]
