Could be Alan. I am thinking of changing the bladder on the Suzuki that has a pin hole starting, maybe in the summer time. The tone on the Hohner Basso is nowhere as smooth as the Suzuki or Hammond but this is a good thing as I look for different tones to go with different melodies. In the Monsters of Melodica Tune “Spain” we used all three bass melodicas then doubled them to create “The wall of Basso” If we were to use only one bass melodica and recorded it 6 times the effect would not be as full. I think if you are to use a tire inner tube it would be way to thick. As the 1/64 thick rubber neoprene that I use seams to be double the thickness of what was removed. I want to say that the rubber on the Hammond is thicker but it is hard to say because that rubber is still relatively new and not worn yet. The Suzuki does not feel as thick as the Hammond but it does feel thicker than the Hohner.
