Initially I was shocked that Suzuki sent you so many pieces. Then I saw and heard the beautiful arrangements you created with them. Now I realise that you have don’t more to promote these quirky, fringe, but beautiful sounding instruments than any advertising campaign. Ps. It was over too soon please do a part 2, 3….😊

@sydmccreath4554 Yeah... the only reason I continued watching was because I was curious whether he would talk about what the pickup is. I was actually wondering if they'd picked up a license to use James Antaki's patented optical free-reed pickup, but I'm guessing not as there's nothing on the internet about the circuitry they're using, so I'm guessing it's just internal mics...
Pat Metheny’s “Antonia”. One of my favorite songs of all time 💙
What a beautiful sound. Suzuki could not have spend better money on any type of advertising. You are a true master of synth, melodion and of piano.
I am getting Studio Ghibli vibes from this music! Very wonderful video and instruments!
Just Italians can understand the beauty of Pinocchio music ! We are proud of you Claudio! One of the best tune ever!

After picking up harmonica a few years ago, that led me back to melodica, which I hadn’t played in decades. It’s a wonderful and underrated instrument.

Das kann ich bestätigen. Bin mit Hohner Melodicas groß geworden.... Ein unterschätztes Instrument
The Suzuki Andes 25F is absolutely delightful. The tone of it is so pure, so soft, so beautiful. Huge respect to Suzuki-Hammond for sending you these!
You make me laugh a lot usually, Claudio. But today you made me laugh... and cry. This was reallly an epic Dr Mix episode. But I think that, since Suzuki were so super-generous, you ought to make us another video in which you either invite all your mates round to play them as a melodion orchestra. Or you play them all and layer them up. That would be fun.
Wow the passion just blasts from this video Claudio, Hammond -Suzuki struck gold sending you these instruments. That last song is so perfectly played and produced you could score it straight under a Ghibli movie.
Hours later. I keeeep coming back to this video. There is something so wholesome and comforting about the sound of this simple instrument and about the careful and loving way you treat and play it - I sit and listen with a smile and a watery eye. Thanks, Claudio.
Even your enthusiasm makes me happy. I love melodicas. Edit: The Andes 25F sounds adorable

I like the Andes too, but they all sound great and can have their place especially when talented people use them as seen in this video.
They sent you Melodion instruments ... you give them back pure gold. Probably you are tired of hearing the same words again and again but ... thank you Dr. Mix.
I cannot understand why this channel hasn't reached over a million subscribers yet! This video alone is a gem of itself. I really enjoyed this one. It sounds so well on my system!

A one word description of the Melodion sound: “Wistful” ❤
Oh wow thank you!!!! ❤
Such a warm, emotional and virtuoso performance you brought to an instrument that was only played by a few up until now. The expressive playing which you breathed life into these instruments, literally, will be regarded as the finest demonstration of what can be achieved with these little boxes of wonder. Thank you, like others I was rather teary after listening to the last piece.
"You do the subscribing, I do the kissing." Not a sentence I EXPECTED I'd hear today... but man am I glad I did. 🤣 Always so much more than fantastic music and musicianship on Doctor Mix!

Ti sei davvero superato! Che bel video che hai tirato su. Chi è nato in Italia negli anni 70 avrà apprezzato alla follia. Come me, del resto!
One of your most beautiful videos. The sound of those instruments and your music choices are so nostalgic for me. ❤
I like how it limits you in the right way and forces you to create the actual melodies and not just some riffs or solos
This is probably the best of yours I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤❤ I am lost for words how beautiful this is. You are amazing Claudio ❤️
This is the moment when I subscribe to your channel, man. How lovingly and musically you bring these instruments into our consciousness is simply wonderful.
That was incredibly dreamy! I want more of these instruments, so beautiful of a sound, and so masterfully played.
Love the sound of the Melodion and your Pat Metheny cover. Gorgeous!
Dr Mix, thank you for uploading this. Your videos always bring a smile to my face, and this one made my jaw drop with both of your performances. Never stop being creative ♥️
9:43 Wow Claudio - this gave me chills - what a beautiful tribute, I loved this thank you! 😍
I am an avid follower of yours for a few years now, but I must admit that this one (especially Pinocchio) just hit me directly to the hearth. Words cannot describe the feelings your music can convey. Please continue to share your immense talents and knowledge with us. Looking forward to enjoy the next slice of your universe you will decide to share with us in your next video. Cheers.
The fact that you have your first instrument from when you were 3 is just amazing and shows the journey you’ve made thus far! Keep the amazing work up, Doc! Love from Texas.
I was genuinely impressed by the high quality of the instruments and the amazing melodies that filled the air❤👍
Absolutely amazing performance. Brought me to tears. Thanks for this beautiful gift ❤
Perfect Dr Mix! Love this sound used in "Antonia"...really well done!
Ahhhhhh Antonia....so beautiful, thanks Doc for this marvellous piece of arte performed as a one man show!
An absolutely beautiful piece at the end there. Thanks for that. There is hope in the music world still.
Made me cry. Antonia is so beautifully done my friend. Thank you.👌
As you introduced the new instrument’s this very thought occurred to me, we musicians are created different than everyone else, your joy, your passion for what you do, your silliness and love come across brilliantly. I thought for a moment, we are all alike, us musicians, near and far. Here to bring joy to this world by giving of ourselves…Then you played ‘Antonia’…One word…Beautiful. 🎹💕
What a lovely piece of art you made, Claudio. Thanks for the song!
That W-37 is golden. Such expressiveness and I'm sure it is a dream to hold. I had never seen or heard of the A-25F though. As I am a woodwind player, as soon as I heard that I had to get one. I had it on order even before your video was over! I can not say how much I enjoyed this review video. Thank you very much.
I never knew about those! Wow what an amazing sound! I always learn something on your channel and I always hear amazing music, incredible energy and the love of sounds. That's why I love you and watching. Thank you. And I don't know if I could choose a favorite.
Офигенное видео. Картинка, звук, инструменты... Просто смотришь и кайфуешь 😍😍😍
Piango per la commovente bellezza di questa esibizione, Pinocchio è una hit intramontabile ed evocativa. Grazie Doctor Claudio
This is fantastic. Tears welled up in my eyes with Pinocchio. It took me back to my childhood. Dr Mix, I love you man
This is awesom Doc! So nostalgic. Love the timbre dynamics on the last one. The one with piccolo flute sound was so special too!
Now it’s not often I skip a Dr Mix video and I nearly did here. Not thinking melodica’s would be my thing but having played the trumpet for many years I thought, go on, give it a go, a fellow wind instrument might be ok and WOW how glad am I that I did. How expressive are these things and such variations between the instruments. It’s clear you loved playing these and a great choice of songs too. This made my day! ❤
What a beautiful Gift to your Italian fans Claudio! And me too I had both the Bontempi keyboards, when I was a child and a kid, but I stopped to learn music and I restarted just a little bit later…….. at 53 I started again to learn piano 😂 now after 5 years i’am still learning, and while I’m living my life I never stay one day without music. Thanks and compliment per questo bellissimo canale
Having you whistling the melody on top of the melodion sound makes such a beautyful result.
Wow. I think this was your best video ever. Thank you for 12 minutes of pure joy.
Claudio, super melodion demos. Your musicianship is wonderful, especially with the tunes you played. Just a big thank you- made me smile, and I’m adding a Melodium to my Christmas wish list! I already have an accordion 😎🤓
that pat performance was utterly brilliant and very moving, bravo!! you made them all sound wonderful but the last one was indeed special!
That Metheny tune and that instrument in your expert hands is nostalgia in music form. What a beautiful video. Thank you!!!
Che meraviglia! Grazie per questa dimostrazione, e grazie per avermi fatta tornare alla mia infanzia con la musica di Pinocchio 🙏🎶
Your talent (and team) is ridiculously good. I have been creating/recording/producing music for over 20 years (NOT piano trained) and people ALWAYS ask me: How are you not famous? (LOL)...or....How are you not doing this for a living? I would not be surprised to see your name in a TON of recordings and tracks. The music industry is especially tough, but ya'll have it. And I'm sure ya'll know it. ;)
I love them all! Thank you for loving melodicas and for creating such a lovely video about an amazing selection of them 🙂
Hi DocMix, the last one was truly the best, what an amazing sweet sound, the rest was great, but my truly favorite was the last one you played. Amazing instruments from Suzuki Hammond, glad they sent you all of them, hope you do a new video featuring all of them on a sweet melody. Always a fan, cheers!
With tears in my eyes (cause of your playing this music) I have to say thank you! It's wonderful.
Love the 70's Muzak sound that's so warm and comforting. Reminds me of good times shopping with mom at stores.
Woooowwwww Sin palabras... Me llenaste de tal emoción que no pude contener mis pensamientos hacia mis padres, los cuales ya no están aquí, pero tú música, los sonidos y tu interpretación los trajeron de vuelta....😢 Gracias
Omg Comencini's Pinocchio! The best movie adaptation of Collodi's book ever. And the music... so simple yet so emotional. Nice to know you appreciate it! Anyway, beautiful video and your "Antonia" version... superb!
Such beautiful instruments and a very moving rendition of Antonia. I love the Piccalo Melodica, and the Wood one is stunning! Enjoy! Grazie per la bellezza e la gioia che porti ai tuoi spettatori!
Very very special episode. Thank you Hammond Suzuki. What a wonderful set of instruments.
My daughters (5 and 7) are more and more interested in learning music and sitting down to the new keyboard I bought some months ago (even for myself to start from scratch again with playing piano after 30 years), but you Claudio also play an increasing role in this experience with your videos. The girls became your fans in the last months and we all are eagerly waiting for every video from Doctor Mix. This one with the melodions - beside the jamming, reconstruction and challange videos - was by now their favourite (I had to replay it multiple times 😉). They need help with understanding English, but even they have selected their favourite Melodion(s). I would like to thank you so much for producing such great and valuable music contents here!
Je n'en avais vu qu'en "jouée", je ne pensais pas que c'était un véritable instrument : une vraie découverte. Merci pour ce sympathique tuto
I Don't know why, Doctor Mix, but you have a way to soothe a hurting soul! I get excited every time I hear your greeting!
What a warm and beautiful sound!
What a great demos, I love the sweet melodies you played… once in the life time you should release a big demo album with all of these (and other) beautiful songs dear Dr Mix… keep going 👍✌️🙂
One of your best videos. Thank you, DocMix!
Oh, the joy! The passion! The love!
I came back to view this video again because it is so well done. I am blown away by your talent and wonderful presentations style. And I wanted to add that the sound of these types of instruments was very popular in TV and Films in the mid-to-late 1960's. The most noteworthy music score to use this type of sound was "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with the "Moon River" song. Harmonicas were a thing because of the Westerns. I don't think there was a western anywhere on TV that did NOT use a harmonica type sound. It also was used in many of the original Twilight Zone episodes... again, mostly those with a "western" theme. Thanks again for such a fine video!
Mind blowing on this sounds. Great interpretation of Pinocchio ❤❤❤❤ bravissimo
Thank you doctor mix you gave me shivers at the final song :) Have a nice day
This is just sounds so peace.. it's feel so humane and serene like you were in some kind of village near the shore at the morning with clear sky and warm sun..
I'm sure the people at Suzuki are smiling right now saying "these went to the right home!" Big fan of your enthusiasm, the music was lovely and I'd sure like to see more. The last Melodion was my favorite!
I have watched your videos, bought a mug and a T-shirt and have enjoyed them all. However, I have never made a comment... until now. This is totally not my style of music or instruments but I just had to say this was utterly gorgeous. Beautiful, just beautiful. I agree with one of the other comments that you have done more for the advertising of this instrument than Suzuki-Hammond could have done themselves... hope you get royalties ;) Keep up the great work!

Oh Claudio this music from the tv mini series "Le avvenutre di Pinocchio" of Luigi Comencini is absolutely wonderfull. I used to play it with the harmonica. Only you can make those instruments valued as they deserve. Beautifull job.
The last arrangement (Antonio) was one of the best performances I’ve ever experienced in my life - appealed to me so much - took me through all the happy memories of my life - thank you, Dr Mix, for this. 🙏🏻
Moment magnifique. Un petit moment de rêve !!❤
Excellent video, Claudio, great play. And many thanks to Suzuki to show us what they do with this humble instrument, their products are realy cool
LOVE accordions! In the hands of a master they are just pure pleasure to experience. Knew a Russian who could make his do anything.😊
Super enjoyed this video! Makes a change to hear analogue wind instruments on a mainly synth channel. Nice technique too. Funnily, the first synth I ever wanted was a CS01 with the breath controller. My piano teacher had one in his music shop. Sadly he passed away this year… so this video is kinda extra poignant in a strange way. Thanks man. ❤
DUDE!!!! As a fellow keyboardist.... Not only am I inspired by the Melodion but also by your production, EXCELLENT JOB musically and how well put together the video is. TOP NOTCH!! Thanks for sharing
One of the few KZread clips where I hit the like button just after 2 seconds! A beautiful version of Pat Metheny’s “Antonia” and all these lovely instruments... Thank you so much!
I have now been watching your videos for years now and i never interacted in the comment section, But today is verry different.. Your interpretation of Antonia by Pat Metheny is Beyond Magneficent and i feel Obliged to Thank you for that, It came to me in a Moment i Trully needed it.

I never thought I would say this but.. I love it!! Such a soothing sound 😌
Such a beautiful video! I love when you bring up your childhood memories...
Wow. 'Antonia' was stunningly beautiful!. Pls. do a Pt. 2 and Pt. 3, maybe more Metheny/Mays compositions: 'It's for you', (from the 'Wichita Falls' album), or 'James' (from the 'Offramp') album. I hadn't subscribed before, but I do now. Thank you for a beautiful performance.
Sounds like a Zelda quest theme.
I love all of the songs that you prepared for this demo. Fantastic job!
Pinocchio! Un tuffo al cuore Claudio ❤ Ho visto tutta la serie da ragazzino. La suonata di Lucignolo poi è particolarmente struggente. Cosa posso dirti: grazie, mi hai regalato un'emozione e adesso la suono anch'io con la mia melodica.
Truly fantastic! This is just a level of expression that no virtual instrument or emulation will ever achieve - with no breath controller, no Roli, no nothing. These harmonicas/Melodions are truly mesmerizing and they sound unbelievable! My favourite is actually the soprano - how wonderful is that! I didn't even know these beautiful instruments existed! And the arrangements/recordings are so beautiful - actually maybe more appealing than the original tracks. THANKS for doing this video!!
This is probably my new favorite video of yours!!! I'm always amused by the playing of the Melodica type instruments and you, you just like made my night!!! They were all so beautiful, especially the Andes edition!!! I see why they called it as such, since it definitely mimics the sound of the famous Andean Pan Flutes of South American. And as having a father born in such territory, Andean Flutes make my heart happy. Wow, that last piece you played, it put me in such a melancholic yet happy mood. I could listen to you play that piece for hours! Funny, the first piece. Pinocchio, wow, so pretty too. I mentioned it's funny only because I have a cat, yes, the one as my icon, and his name is Pinocchio...Thank you for sharing your passion for music, artistry, production and musicianship. You are one amazing man, Claudio!!! Ciao!
both of these arrangements are damn beautiful -- the output jacks give a whole new flavor to melodions! I had no idea they made them like that
How timely and coincidental! I have been researching melodicas only this last week and then Doctor Mix just presents me with this very cool vid.. Thank you!
