Thank you for your view, Daren!
I do believe that I am a pioneer just like you said, and will simply do my own thing from now no matter what the “haters” say. I am aware that the melodica can sound brilliant and that depending on how you play it, and personally I wouldn’t be discouraged to play the melodica simply because some people told me that it’s humiliating.
I’ll just keep it up 🙂
