The melodica is a unique instrument.  It combines the techniques that both horn/woodwind and piano players use.  Sound from this instrument is made by blowing into the tube and holding down the specific notes or chords.  The majority of entertainers use this instrument to play melody lines.  The types of genre you will hear the melodica are reggae, indie, and folk.  Check out this video we made.  I hope you get an idea what this instrument sounds like.

Also, we will be giving away two Hohner Piedmont Blues seven piece harmonica sets with custom carrying cases in a raffle.

If you’re looking for a definitive blues harp voice, look no further than the SHURE – 520DX.  It features a green and chrome die-cast casing that is contoured to fit perfectly between the harmonica and your hands.  The attached cable with 1/4-inch plug allows the microphone to be connected to a high-impedance device and for those quick volume adjustments that you may need during your performance, it also features a volume control knob at the base of the microphone.  Check out the video below to hear one of our very own customers playing on his recently purchased 520DX!!!
