    Thank again MM and Lowboy, I’m really very lucky as I get a budget from a theatre company to record some tracks and my engineer is great at video as well. Lowboy, I’d love to to hear / see you track some trad blues rep with slide guitar. I had mentioned a melodica hang sometime. In my percussion world these things are sometimes supported by instrument companies. I guess there aren’t many melodica endorsements. MM, I’m on the “wrong” coast, near Washington, DC. I get out west sometimes and may be there before too long at the Remo factory. Stay well, t

    Thanks, M-M. What a great resource this site is. We should try to have a melodica hang sometime. Maybe in realtime or Google Hangout. Thanks for all of your information you pass out! – T

    Wow! Thanks guys. I slept on this thread and am so glad I just noticed all of the kind and useful responses! I’ve got some time off coming up and SEVERAL melodicas that can use some tuning. I’m going to practice and use the video supplied here. I’ll prob damage a few but they aren’t really useful as is now. I very likely will check back when I have enough experience to offer a specific and (hopefully) intelligent question. Thanks again for all the feedback! – Tom

    Thanks Guy, I used to tour to New Orleans and became interested in all of the cultures via Americana. Later I’ve had opportunities to tour the world as a Cultural Envoy for the St Dept. That has opened a whole new world…so to speak. I’m loving the melodica and especially this forum. I’ve been telling my percussion colleagues that studying the wind instruments is having a huge impact on my percussion playing. Im a HUGE fan of both of your playing. MM, you are really expanding the jazz vocabulary and LB your blues playing is close to my heart. We should try to have a MW convention (hang) sometime. Stay well friends! Tom

    Thanks,guys. I’d like to say I’m improving but these are all previous releases. I have a new one coming out soon inspired by Indian music for a show I’m playing live in. I’ll post when released. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it!

    Thanks for this, Alan. I just purchased a M- 37C and used it on a concert last night. I like it as a brighter alternative to my Yamaha P37. I haven’t tried to take it apart to tune it yet. Still working on my collection and enjoy reading here about all the options. My next purchase will probably be one of the Honer/Suzuki versions. Take care, Tom

    Thank you, Adam and Lowboy. It’s great to be a part of this community! I’m learning so much about melodicas and enjoy sharing my perspective. I look forward to checking out more of your work. All best, Tom

    Hi Adam, Thanks for your interest. I play the bodhran only with my fingers, not a tipper. You are correct. I moisten my finger and gently rub it along the head to get friction. I’m moving the bodhran from the crossbar inside to allow me to create a figure eight movement and not interrupt the drone. An example can be found here ( sorry for the OT percussion demo)

    Stay well, Tom
