Well today my new Hammond Hyper Melodion came in and I gave it the old bench test, well ok I played the hell out of it. It has a great timber (nice and crisp). I was very happy that it did not sound at all like my original Hammond 44, I would have hated to have the same or close to the same sounding melodica, especially at the cost of these…Read more

My last keyboard I sold was my Yamaha CS-80 about 10 years ago and now only use a Kursweil shown pictured with some of my melodicas. The Hammond melodions…Read more
