melodica samples

[webstersisme]

there's got to be some somewhere, right? anyone know of where i could find some? i'll probably end up buying one since they are cheap, but i'd rather have samples for now.

www.precisionsound.net has a pianica sample set, would that do?

really? I bought a melodica for $1 from a thrift store as a joke. it has one of the worst sounds I've ever heard in an instrument before. I can't imagine anyone actually seeking that sound out on purpose.


nutty.

melodicas make beautiful sounds. múm implement them very well in most of their songs

Maybe you should have bought one that wasn´t so cheap

you put 1$ for a melodica, that must be a child toy.

as far as i know , melodica prices can go up to 100$
... maybe more, as there are many kinds (alto melodica....)

for those who don't know, Augustus Pablo (reggae producer) became a legend by using a melodica on every simngle track he wrote and the sound he got out of it was quite "spiritual" ....

well back to the original question... i don't know where u could find some samples .....
sorry

its a Hohner Piano 26 model. a "beginner's" melodica. dunno if that's why it sounds so cheesy... but mine sounds like a harmonica, only without expression or soul.

I guess to each their own. I didn't know it was even a legitimate instrument until I started seeing them crop up on eBay. boy was I surprised.

honestly the first i've been told about Augustus Pablo, i thought this guy never grew up
after a few listenings to his music, i became a big fan

i don't know about the hohner melodica ... in fact i don't know that much about this instrument in general but u can for sure get a good sound from it with a bit of delay or reverb
i think there's a way of blowing it

HI

How can any one say a Melodica makes a horrible sound?

Go listen to some Augustus Pablo; sublime roots reggae - sadly the man is no longer with us - but lives on through his music.
