I would like to bring this up again, now that Jon Batiste has been on the show for a while.

I think the popularity is not always that great. As someone who plays jazz melodica, with a band and busking to a backing track, the instrument isn’t as cool now that it is more mainstream.

On the other hand, the popularity is great for the industry and it’s really cool to have our instrument recognized as more of a “real” instrument.

Thanks Melodica-Me. Yes, I am ordering the gooseneck one, and I also will get the one without the gooseneck for my cajon :). I do a lot of the performing in the melodica on the street busking in NYC, which is why I am using such a small pickup. Below is the amp I usually use for backing tracks and what I will probably have to use outside. That and a pedal board. I might start doing some looping stuff with the amplified melodica (with an rc-50), and maybe try to do a live performance of this: (any other reich fans?). I hope it will be able to pickup the nice Jazz sounds like note bending.

Hi everyone. My first post here. A myers pickup will be arriving fairly soon for a Suzuki Pro37 V2. I have wanted portable amplification for a while, so microphones don’t really work for me. I hope it works well and I’ll let everyone know what happens
