Wow, cool shirt, ahem, WORK, that’s what I wanted to say. I’m very impressed, I could never do that on my own, I always needed the help of someone. Why do you call the video ‘Melodica Shop’? Are you finally planning on building a small series of Diamanté melodicas? That would be great! Put me on top of the list!!!

Great site to find irish Tunes!

[Quetscher]

Hope YOU didn’t write B, Daren…

[Quetscher]

The site wouldn’t tell me the right song but I’d choose B. Why? Just because for my ears it is the most boring irish tune of the three without any surprising effects – if I was a program I would write it just like this…

[Quetscher]

Great! The Pro-37 is definetly a good choice for that kind of music, and it has enough power to be heard in an acoustic ensemble

[Quetscher]

That’s fantastic, Oscar! I’m very proud to be a part of that recording and I’m honoured to play alongside these great melodica players. Also fabulous graphics! Greetings, Quetscher

[Quetscher]

I understand what you mean and of course I will try this!
Cutting out a bigger part of the back panel sounds good – maybe I should buy another Piano 26 to experiment with things like that.
Greetings, Q.

BTW: Great playing!

Thanks a lot Lowboy, I’ll keep that in mind! I just feel a little constricted when a hold it like that and I’d love to grab the melodica like a clarinet and be able to move while playing. But the effect I’m intending is the Bootay effect of course. Thinking about a “cage” for the Piano 26 and a cover for the holes that I can move backward and forward with my left thumb and some springs, but as I said this will take some time and work…

Alan, this is fantastic! I’ll try this soon. Thanks a lot!

[Quetscher]

Lowboy, thanks for the warning but I already lost my sanity quite a long time ago (must’ve been around the time when I bought my first melodica:-), so no worries, I knew what would happen when I bought the Piano 26…

It’ really a great instrument although I have to admit that I don’t like the playing position pressed against the chest. Actually I’m searching for a way to modulate the sound while holding it in the conventional way – I have an idea how to realise this but it’ll take a little time and work. In the meantime thank you for summarizing your experiences with sound and EQing.

Greetings, Quetscher

[Quetscher]

Of course ohne of those with holes in the bottom as I want to try out Lowboy’s playing techniques.

[Quetscher]

Hi Lowboy, I just can confirm that your playing is easily recocnisable in the world of melodicas – by your sound, by your style, by your skills…
BTW, I just bought my first (!) Hohner Piano 26 some four weeks ago and I was amazed by the dark and sad sound. I always thought that you did some heavy EQing to get to that sound because I couldn’t imagine that a melodica itself would sound like that – and your idea to use a melodica apron for modifications still gives more distinctive quality to the tone.

[Quetscher]

That’s right Paul, but usually they spell it the other way round in Germany…

[Quetscher]

Indeed an interesting intrument; I’ve been doing theatre music several times playing accordion, bass drum, hihat, piano, kazoo at the same time. I wish I had had that instrument the last time I did that, would’ve been fantastic…

[Quetscher]

Great work once again, Lowboy!

I would also love to see a video of your techniques, sometimes it’s really difficult to understand what you’re doing while you produce certain effects without seeing…
