This is the vindication I needed to continue learning to play the melodica

time to steal my kid's melodica.

It's the breathe control and the accidentals that make this instrument come alive.

It's simple. When you have music in your heart, the instrument, no matter how modest, is secondary. Speak out, cher!

Jon is amazing but this is just not true. Look into the Melodica Men, Daren Banarsë from melodica world, Ena Yoshida, Masa Matsuda, and Pianica Magician (ピアニカの魔術師).

OMG, I haven't seen this instrument in over 30 years! As a boy we used to play the melodica in primary school - wow, I really miss those days!

Incredible. I love that he played Amazing Grace.

Amazing Grace really grows over oneself over the years, huh? It really is such a great melody and beautiful song.

The type of mouthpiece you're talking about hardly makes any difference in playing, and is typically very short/discreet anyway. Sorry I realise now I wasn't clear.

He is extremely talented. Amazing

Remember, music is You...when you put all your feelings ♥️ and your passion in the music you make...trust me you are the most beautiful MUSICIAN because you just created happy and beautiful melodies thats make audience can know what feelings inside your heart... no one can help you but with melodies that you just created trust me maybe they will not listen or to help you but they would always remember that moment when you 'reach' them...

If you look at the underside of the melodica, there's a big thing taped on to it. My guess is that the melodica is mic'ed up, and that device is sending the signal wirelessly to a mixing board somewhere. EDIT: Actually, the mic is right above the keyboard, right where his supporting hand is. If it sounds digital, it most likely is because of how the microphone is picking it up.
