Melodica

eka3 · 12-03-2009, 05:29 AM

Just bought a Hohner 32 Melodica, pretty instrument, good sound, very enjoyable.
I was wondering if anyone here has ever played Melodica, and could give me some tips on how to get started with ?
I've been playing piano for 11 years, so i got no trouble moving my fingers on the keys, but I think i need some guidance when it comes to holding it correctly, using both hands... etc

Help would be much appreciated

thank you!

If that's really your biggest concern then you're golden....

most players hold it by a hand strap on the back which allows your other hand to finger the keyboard freely.

yeah it's a very straight forward instrument. it's actually more like an accordion than a piano in terms of how it's played.
