Reply To: Vintage Hohner Melodica Professional restoration — need a reed
Clep, yes it is way out of range. You can tune it and if it goes out of tune quickly the reed is probably cracked. And yes it sound like you have leaks on some of the pads. Working on your melodica is the best way to understand how it works and what to look for when you need to make repair. If anything Clep, you are gathering lots of experience.
