Greetings, friends. On my third attempt (on eBay), I now have a gold-trim P-37 that holds air, all the notes work, and the keys are decent. I really don’t want to go into this melodica, under the theory that one shouldn’t fix it if it’s not broken.
So does anyone have a suggestion as to what I could blow through this melodica that would not hurt the reeds, seals, putty, keys, etc. to decrease or remove the smell?
I used to smoke in the dim past, and now can detect the odor of tobacco at 500 paces or so. I’m envisioning this guy taking a puff and then playing… puff and play…
It’s nice otherwise. Since I have one play, I can get to repairing the other one. (It leaks like crazy.)
