Reply To: accordina separate reed plates for custom melodicas
Vibrandoneon, Eolina, Hohner Pro36, Clavietta, Silvertone are all melodicas utilising individual reed plates. Though they use them all in the standard way
From my experience, there isn’t much difference required to power a Binci melodica reed, compared to a standard multi plate. They’re normally mounted in vast reed chambers, which can make it more difficult to power with the breath.
I have some Bincis here, but don’t have any scales unfortunately!
You could try designing for both types of reed simultaneously – just make sure you have 10mm width and 37mm height per reed…
