Reply To: best project melodica?
Hi Shannon,
I think a Janko keyboard is an exciting idea.
I think many of the less expensive melodicas such as the Schoenhut
are based around the same design as the Yamaha if not a direct copy.
Another avenue if you really want to start from scratch I think melodicas.com
still offers complete sets of reed plates?
Which I think can also be procured from Yamaha and Suzuki?
The Yamaha keys are held by a spring but the pallet cover and the key are of one piece.
