      If you look at the underside of the melodica, there's a big thing taped on to it. My guess is that the melodica is mic'ed up, and that device is sending the signal wirelessly to a mixing board somewhere.
      EDIT: Actually, the mic is right above the keyboard, right where his supporting hand is. If it sounds digital, it most likely is because of how the microphone is picking it up.
