Now I found it in my wardrobe and I watched a few of your tutorials already, you make it look so easy! And the pandemic seems to be a perfect time since I have a lot of free time at home.

So what I gather from this is that a melodica is the same price point as a Steinway? Or was your Steinway just in that bad of shape? The assertion that you 'sold your Steinway to buy a melodica' seems fantastical. Please tell me you paid a couple of electric bills with some of the money.

Wonderful vibe about how you conduct and present these sessions about the Melodica. I'm looking at the Hammond PRO- 44 H V2 as I play piano professionally and also use to play the French Horn and the Moeck Professional Recorder as-well ... As my mother back in France also played the piano and also the piano accordion, I have always been fascinated by the sound of such instruments :) Love your channel and I am now viewing it from time to time ... Thank you for bringing joy in a different dimension of musical experience. Would you be so kind as to demonstrate this Hammond PRO- 44 H V2 please? :)

[@MelodicaWorld]

Thanks for the lovely feedback 😀 I used to have a couple of Moecks back in the pre melodica days! I don’t actually have a Hammond 44 at the moment, but I used to have 2, and can confirm they’re great instruments

[@kentaccordionist]

Tuning a melodically is not too hard once you know how. It’s the same principal as tuning an accordion. And once learned saves a lot of money. I learned how to tune accordions in the early 1990s and the principal is the same for melodic as concertinas melodions and mouth organs. Which all fall into the category of free read instruments.

[@MelodicaWorld]

I agree completely Stephen! It takes a little bit of practice, but no harder than making a cup of tea!

Nice to see a video all about the melodica. I think it's a great little wind instrument and quite cool. Check out Augustus Pablo meets The Rockers uptown. That tune really showcases how the melodica can be used to good effect in Reggae music

Hello! I just got a Melodica a few days ago and I’m already in love with it and I’m starting to learn my first couple of songs. I’m curious, could you make a video of how to find the key or pitch of a song and then apply it to the melodica? There are already a lot of really great song tutorials for Melodica on youtube but I would really love to learn how to play any type of song on the Melodica and create my own covers. Any video of how to apply the key of a song on the Melodica would be very helpful for beginners! :) thank you

Hi Tierney, do you mean you'd like to 'play by ear', hear something, and work out how to play it on the melodica?

MelodicaWorld Yes! Thank you for putting it more simply, haha. But a video to learn how to “play by ear” would be great and really helpful!

[@lalily222]

haha i play euphonium and i’ve taught myself piano and melodica by playing by ear

[@MelodicaWorld]

@@tierneyjohnson501 Good idea Tierney! I'll try and make one at some point. In the meantime, try this: sing along to the song you want to learn. Then take just one line from the song, and make sure you can sing it at the right pitch. From there you transfer it to the melodica. So start with the first singing note, hold the note, and see if you can match it up to the right pitch on the melodica. Then you do this for each note. Do you see what I mean?

What do you think of the classic Hohner Piano 26 from the 60's I guess? I bought one a while ago and I love it!

[@MelodicaWorld]

Oh yes, I like these

[@argi0774]

Why giving up the Steinway grand and classical piano for the melodica? It's so extremely high above the melodica. Why not both?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I still play piano sometimes, just don’t find it as interesting, and can’t take it out to jam with :-)

[@SisEphea]

Thank you man !!!😊

[@MelodicaWorld]

Glad to be of help 😀

This guy just made me forget I was a grown up for a few minutes.

[@bilbowaggins3036]

I wish there was more options in the level 3 range.

[@MelodicaWorld]

Me too

[@Atticus837]

Did you really sell your steinway to pursue melodica? That's insane to me... but I'm definitely interested in the melodica as a jamming/composition tool when I'm out and about!

[@MelodicaWorld]

Yes it’s true! It was a 1906 model O!

[@ChimaEnwere]

I am a classical pianist, and I just ordered a 37 key Yamaha melodica (:

[@danimations80]

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise. I'd find it really helpful if you made as video showing the respective range of different models of melodica. It looks like the Suzuki-Hammond has a few extra low notes as well as the extra highs. Then there are the bass melodicas. How do they compare?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I don’t have a bass melodica, but used to years ago. They can be tricky because the reeds don’t sound straight away. The Hammond has the biggest range of all melodicas. It’s also a high quality instrument

[@danimations80]

@@MelodicaWorld THanks, yes, I see that Suzuki-Hammond has professional offerings. Both their bass and 44 key instruments have built-in microphones and 1/4" jack outputs, which would be handy for use in bands and for recording.

How hard is it to learn it to play a few songs? i dont know any notes and play no instruments. Is it possible to estimate the hours i would have to invest to get "ok"?

[@MelodicaWorld]

Hmmm, I don't know, everyone learns at a different rate...

[@tesscheer]

What do you think of the hohner melodica piano 26, made in Germany?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I think it’s great!

[@kenshinflyer]

I am also happy with my 25-key Yamahas, my P-25E and P-S25C! That is, if the song only requires one octave plus one extra higher key.

[@MelodicaWorld]

I love tiny melodicas!

[@menghivheak]

can you make a video more detail about types of melodica and how do I learn it? because I got an old Yamaha P-25 melodica, it has only 25 keys and I don't know if it is the same as other

[@MelodicaWorld]

Yes it’s the same as other melodicas, just less notes. See if you can work out which note yours starts on.
