Well, not all of the cheap melodicas online are good. Some have flaws (like the "Erin" brand melodica--there's one muffled key, though everything else is good). However, the Chinese Suzuki Melodions are exceptional--just like its high-end relatives, like the yellow-green MX-37 I got online.

Interesting- I have played wooden flute in Irish session for 20 years and love the concertina. I think the melodica fills a gap beautifully and is not just for people who can't afford an accordian. I actually prefer the sound for slower tunes especially.

This might sound really strange, but I absolutely loved this video for more than just the fun comparison of melodicas. I grew up poor as hell and I've always had a desire to learn about music but never had the funds to afford to learn. So every now and again throughout my life I'd try my hand at it in various ways only to ultimately feel sad because there's this sort of pretentiousness around music. It is usually very unwelcoming even in beginner videos. Watching KZbin videos, taking lessons, all it usually does is tell me that I didn't get to start young and I'm uneducated so I don't deserve to play at all. I can tap away at work or sing little songs all I want but I'll never truly know how to play an instrument and I'll never truly understand music the way people who started young do. But this positiveness and cheerfulness about learning to play, about playing a cheap instrument, really lifted my spirits up. This is the first video from this channel I have seen and already I feel differently about trying my hand at music once more. I think the world needs more people like you. Thank you so much for your positivity, your joy here, and for taking the time to make videos and upload them! 👋

This is so nice to hear, thanks for letting me know how the videos helped you. No pretentiousness here, just fun, everyone welcome!

[@IconicPhotonic]

I don't know how I stumbled onto this video lol. But I'll bite. The plastic one sounds like what I'm used to melodicas sounding like, and was more or less what I expected - a bit pinched off. The wood one sounded more like an accordion in latin music. I liked the smoothness and character it had. Fun self duel sketch at the end too.

[@hannesw8436]

[@CDBlackmage]

As far as raw sound goes, I could tell the difference between the two, and if I HAD to pick one, I prefer the sound of the Victoria. But, as you spent the video talking about, the "cheap" melodica shouldn't be dismissed at all for its advantages over the Victoria, and it absolutely still sounds fine. I had been wanting to try a melodica for the longest time, and, after watching this, I at least feel a LOT better about buying a cheaper one for now. Thank you for taking the time to make this!

[@flomojo2u]

As a musician I can definitely appreciate really high-quality parts and workmanship, and the more expensive instruments are definitely a joy to play... But as you've mentioned, the number one factor in how an instrument performs is the musician. As far as the melodica comparison goes, initially I couldn't tell a difference between the two in the blind comparison, however the delightful duet you put together made it a bit more obvious, and honestly I like both of them. The cheaper one has a brighter sound and seemed like it was easier to play rapid sequences of notes, while the expensive one had a more mellow, balanced sound. Either way it really means that anybody could afford to try the instrument out, and I suppose that's the best part.

[@salvadorochoa6664]

[@jericojopio1713]

The cool thing about learning to play the melodica is that one doesn't have to transpose the instrument-that is, play higher or lower based on its sounding pitch since it is not a transposable instrument. Every key is equivalent to one individual note, unlike a recorder flute which requires various combinations of open, closed and half-open holes to create notes or melodies. Of course, melodicas also have their own issues or disadvantages but they are a great way for beginners to start learning music; even non-pianists can learn to play the melodica in less than a month.😊

Very nice video but I feel like he's planning something really bad when he stares off into the distance.

I was just counting in my head!!

i’ve never really given much of a look towards the melodica, you play beautifully! what a great sounding instrument, I was quite surprised by how decent the cheap one sounded. great video quality and great playing!

[@Kitties_are_pretty]

Jesus. That expensive one seems like a complete scam based on the blind test.

I have a similarly priced 37 key melodica from Amazon, it's my first and only melodica, and lemmy tell you, it's worth way more than that for the amount of joy it has given me. I enjoy playing music when I use it, unlike when I play piano.

They're such fun!

Wow the Vibrandoneon has a beautiful tone and you can see why the difference in price. Having said that the cheap plastic one wasn't bad for the price however if you're a musician like I am there's no comparison. I am cat sitting at my son's place over Easter and found his melodica in his studio today. I have never paid much attention to them before but as a pianist decided to have a go. In one hour I was hooked and have decided to buy one. Thanks for your inspiration I have just subscribed as I think I'm going to enjoy this instrument and was surprised at how many different tones I could get just from my breath.

Yes, its a very special instrument isn't it? Great to hear you've decided to give the melodica a go.

Great job! Really loved the comparison, especially with different styles!

Thank for listening Nathan!
