Reply To: rusty reeds
alredy cleaned reads with alcohol, but some of rust wont go down. casing of this melodica is the same like piano27, only one key is missing (first key- see the picture above) and reeds is the same material, but probably because of the rust sound is very rough and sharp compared to sweet sound of hohner piano27. and i have to adjust last two reeds because i have to blow very hard to make a sound…
it’s used one and cost me only 12 dollars 🙂 so this is my experiment melodica 🙂
P.S. some keys was whole note lower after cleaning so tuning was necessary. 🙂
