Well, to me the melodica is a hybrid between a keyboard and a wind instrument, so why not at least consider the polyphonic possibilities of the melodica? I agree with you that the melodica is not built primarily to be played two-handed, but there are musical contexts in which you will love to be able to play with two hands. So I would say: don’t be discouraged from the start, try out all the possibilities this fantastic instrument offers!
