Reply To: Sound holes on the back
Hi Alan,
On the melodica I used for the demonstration of playing techniques, all the sound does exit the holes on the back. That why the techniques make such a difference in the sound. In many melodicas, the sound exits on the keyboard side. These melodicas would not provide a lot of sound modulation by holding them against you chest.
It appears the holes on the back of the Yamaha are for purposes other than sound projection.
