It should perhaps be pointed out that some melodicas are harder to tune (and gap) than others. I have found those most recent Hohner Piano models that you play, Tom, to be challenging. I agree that for your playing techniques, with so much manipulation of the sound, tuning is less of an issue.

One of my basic tuning principles is that once you get the melodica where you want it, don’t go back and check it the next day! You’ll drive yourself crazy. Just play it unless and until it starts sounding off key.
