Lowboy, you’re completely right not to believe me. What a fool I am! OF COURSE you can bend up and down – what I wanted to say was that bending is limited because you can bend up TO a certain note but not FROM a certain note as well as you can bend down FROM a certain note but not TO a certain note. Is that understandable?
AS soon as I can record again I can give you an example of what I unterstand by “overblowing” on a melodica. But maybe you’ll be a little disappointed, it’s not like overblowing on a certain note like on a saxophone, it’s just the effect of blowing into the pipe of the Vibrandoneon like you would blow into a flute – nevertheless it sounds quite interesting.
