@sydmccreath4554 Yeah... the only reason I continued watching was because I was curious whether he would talk about what the pickup is. I was actually wondering if they'd picked up a license to use James Antaki's patented optical free-reed pickup, but I'm guessing not as there's nothing on the internet about the circuitry they're using, so I'm guessing it's just internal mics...
Initially I was shocked that Suzuki sent you so many pieces. Then I saw and heard the beautiful arrangements you created with them. Now I realise that you have don’t more to promote these quirky, fringe, but beautiful sounding instruments than any advertising campaign. Ps. It was over too soon please do a part 2, 3….😊
I was familiar with the Pinnochio theme, if not the television program from which it came. But I nearly fainted with joy when you covered a Pat Metheny tune. Love them all!
Haha, everyone gets to see the exact amount someone dono'd with their comment now? ...IDK how more commercial anything can get, and I'm including commercials! And the bumper sticker ad for the shop where you bought you're used car. It's kinda weird though, don't you think...? :D
No, this ist one of my absolut favorit melodies, Since I heard it the first time in the 70s. There was also one other thene, a fast piano played, wich was combiend with that slow one. I often, play these two melodies one my piano. Oh and I'm from Switzerland, not from Italy.😊
Hours later. I keeeep coming back to this video. There is something so wholesome and comforting about the sound of this simple instrument and about the careful and loving way you treat and play it - I sit and listen with a smile and a watery eye. Thanks, Claudio.
They sent you Melodion instruments ... you give them back pure gold. Probably you are tired of hearing the same words again and again but ... thank you Dr. Mix.
Wow the passion just blasts from this video Claudio, Hammond -Suzuki struck gold sending you these instruments. That last song is so perfectly played and produced you could score it straight under a Ghibli movie.
I cannot understand why this channel hasn't reached over a million subscribers yet! This video alone is a gem of itself. I really enjoyed this one. It sounds so well on my system!
After picking up harmonica a few years ago, that led me back to melodica, which I hadn’t played in decades. It’s a wonderful and underrated instrument.
Such a warm, emotional and virtuoso performance you brought to an instrument that was only played by a few up until now. The expressive playing which you breathed life into these instruments, literally, will be regarded as the finest demonstration of what can be achieved with these little boxes of wonder. Thank you, like others I was rather teary after listening to the last piece.
You make me laugh a lot usually, Claudio. But today you made me laugh... and cry. This was reallly an epic Dr Mix episode. But I think that, since Suzuki were so super-generous, you ought to make us another video in which you either invite all your mates round to play them as a melodion orchestra. Or you play them all and layer them up. That would be fun.
I am an avid follower of yours for a few years now, but I must admit that this one (especially Pinocchio) just hit me directly to the hearth. Words cannot describe the feelings your music can convey. Please continue to share your immense talents and knowledge with us. Looking forward to enjoy the next slice of your universe you will decide to share with us in your next video. Cheers.
The fact that you have your first instrument from when you were 3 is just amazing and shows the journey you’ve made thus far! Keep the amazing work up, Doc! Love from Texas.
The melodeon is an instrument that Japanese schoolchildren have been practising in music class for decades without fail. Thanks for drawing our attention to it.
What a beautiful Gift to your Italian fans Claudio! And me too I had both the Bontempi keyboards, when I was a child and a kid, but I stopped to learn music and I restarted just a little bit later…….. at 53 I started again to learn piano 😂 now after 5 years i’am still learning, and while I’m living my life I never stay one day without music. Thanks and compliment per questo bellissimo canale
"You do the subscribing, I do the kissing." Not a sentence I EXPECTED I'd hear today... but man am I glad I did. 🤣 Always so much more than fantastic music and musicianship on Doctor Mix!
I'm sure the people at Suzuki are smiling right now saying "these went to the right home!" Big fan of your enthusiasm, the music was lovely and I'd sure like to see more. The last Melodion was my favorite!
That W-37 is golden. Such expressiveness and I'm sure it is a dream to hold. I had never seen or heard of the A-25F though. As I am a woodwind player, as soon as I heard that I had to get one. I had it on order even before your video was over! I can not say how much I enjoyed this review video. Thank you very much.
I have watched your videos, bought a mug and a T-shirt and have enjoyed them all. However, I have never made a comment... until now. This is totally not my style of music or instruments but I just had to say this was utterly gorgeous. Beautiful, just beautiful. I agree with one of the other comments that you have done more for the advertising of this instrument than Suzuki-Hammond could have done themselves... hope you get royalties ;) Keep up the great work!
This is the moment when I subscribe to your channel, man. How lovingly and musically you bring these instruments into our consciousness is simply wonderful.
My daughters (5 and 7) are more and more interested in learning music and sitting down to the new keyboard I bought some months ago (even for myself to start from scratch again with playing piano after 30 years), but you Claudio also play an increasing role in this experience with your videos. The girls became your fans in the last months and we all are eagerly waiting for every video from Doctor Mix. This one with the melodions - beside the jamming, reconstruction and challange videos - was by now their favourite (I had to replay it multiple times 😉). They need help with understanding English, but even they have selected their favourite Melodion(s). I would like to thank you so much for producing such great and valuable music contents here!
Claudio, super melodion demos. Your musicianship is wonderful, especially with the tunes you played. Just a big thank you- made me smile, and I’m adding a Melodium to my Christmas wish list! I already have an accordion 😎🤓
Now it’s not often I skip a Dr Mix video and I nearly did here. Not thinking melodica’s would be my thing but having played the trumpet for many years I thought, go on, give it a go, a fellow wind instrument might be ok and WOW how glad am I that I did. How expressive are these things and such variations between the instruments. It’s clear you loved playing these and a great choice of songs too. This made my day! ❤
Your talent (and team) is ridiculously good. I have been creating/recording/producing music for over 20 years (NOT piano trained) and people ALWAYS ask me: How are you not famous? (LOL)...or....How are you not doing this for a living? I would not be surprised to see your name in a TON of recordings and tracks. The music industry is especially tough, but ya'll have it. And I'm sure ya'll know it. ;)
Oh Claudio this music from the tv mini series "Le avvenutre di Pinocchio" of Luigi Comencini is absolutely wonderfull. I used to play it with the harmonica. Only you can make those instruments valued as they deserve. Beautifull job.
Omg Comencini's Pinocchio! The best movie adaptation of Collodi's book ever. And the music... so simple yet so emotional. Nice to know you appreciate it! Anyway, beautiful video and your "Antonia" version... superb!
Hi DocMix, the last one was truly the best, what an amazing sweet sound, the rest was great, but my truly favorite was the last one you played. Amazing instruments from Suzuki Hammond, glad they sent you all of them, hope you do a new video featuring all of them on a sweet melody. Always a fan, cheers!
This is probably my new favorite video of yours!!! I'm always amused by the playing of the Melodica type instruments and you, you just like made my night!!! They were all so beautiful, especially the Andes edition!!! I see why they called it as such, since it definitely mimics the sound of the famous Andean Pan Flutes of South American. And as having a father born in such territory, Andean Flutes make my heart happy. Wow, that last piece you played, it put me in such a melancholic yet happy mood. I could listen to you play that piece for hours! Funny, the first piece. Pinocchio, wow, so pretty too. I mentioned it's funny only because I have a cat, yes, the one as my icon, and his name is Pinocchio...Thank you for sharing your passion for music, artistry, production and musicianship. You are one amazing man, Claudio!!! Ciao!
Woooowwwww Sin palabras... Me llenaste de tal emoción que no pude contener mis pensamientos hacia mis padres, los cuales ya no están aquí, pero tú música, los sonidos y tu interpretación los trajeron de vuelta....😢 Gracias
I never knew about those! Wow what an amazing sound! I always learn something on your channel and I always hear amazing music, incredible energy and the love of sounds. That's why I love you and watching. Thank you. And I don't know if I could choose a favorite.
As a huge Dub and Reggae fan I've always loved the Melodica sound. Recently I found a video on the Tube that reviewed every conceivable type of this instrument. Bass Melodian is beautiful!
One of the few TH-cam clips where I hit the like button just after 2 seconds! A beautiful version of Pat Metheny’s “Antonia” and all these lovely instruments... Thank you so much!
Super enjoyed this video! Makes a change to hear analogue wind instruments on a mainly synth channel. Nice technique too. Funnily, the first synth I ever wanted was a CS01 with the breath controller. My piano teacher had one in his music shop. Sadly he passed away this year… so this video is kinda extra poignant in a strange way. Thanks man. ❤
It almost made me cry, so beautiful! I wish I could create such powerful and emotional mélodies my two favourites of this set of Melodion are the Ondes 25F and the last one all in wood.
Truly fantastic! This is just a level of expression that no virtual instrument or emulation will ever achieve - with no breath controller, no Roli, no nothing. These harmonicas/Melodions are truly mesmerizing and they sound unbelievable! My favourite is actually the soprano - how wonderful is that! I didn't even know these beautiful instruments existed! And the arrangements/recordings are so beautiful - actually maybe more appealing than the original tracks. THANKS for doing this video!!
As you introduced the new instrument’s this very thought occurred to me, we musicians are created different than everyone else, your joy, your passion for what you do, your silliness and love come across brilliantly. I thought for a moment, we are all alike, us musicians, near and far. Here to bring joy to this world by giving of ourselves…Then you played ‘Antonia’…One word…Beautiful. 🎹💕
Dr Mix, thank you for uploading this. Your videos always bring a smile to my face, and this one made my jaw drop with both of your performances. Never stop being creative ♥️
I have now been watching your videos for years now and i never interacted in the comment section, But today is verry different.. Your interpretation of Antonia by Pat Metheny is Beyond Magneficent and i feel Obliged to Thank you for that, It came to me in a Moment i Trully needed it. Sincere Love for you claudio, Have a wonderfull day
DUDE!!!! As a fellow keyboardist.... Not only am I inspired by the Melodion but also by your production, EXCELLENT JOB musically and how well put together the video is. TOP NOTCH!! Thanks for sharing
I came back to view this video again because it is so well done. I am blown away by your talent and wonderful presentations style. And I wanted to add that the sound of these types of instruments was very popular in TV and Films in the mid-to-late 1960's. The most noteworthy music score to use this type of sound was "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with the "Moon River" song. Harmonicas were a thing because of the Westerns. I don't think there was a western anywhere on TV that did NOT use a harmonica type sound. It also was used in many of the original Twilight Zone episodes... again, mostly those with a "western" theme. Thanks again for such a fine video!
They sent you beautiful instruments, and you rewarded them with an even more beautiful creation. I'd call it a bargain on their end! What tremendous talent. Love from Texas! ♥
I like the wooden one best. Didn’t know Suzuki Hammond made such things. I worked as an engineer at Hammond Organ UK from1969 until 1987. Thanks for the great video..
Wow. 'Antonia' was stunningly beautiful!. Pls. do a Pt. 2 and Pt. 3, maybe more Metheny/Mays compositions: 'It's for you', (from the 'Wichita Falls' album), or 'James' (from the 'Offramp') album. I hadn't subscribed before, but I do now. Thank you for a beautiful performance.
What a great demos, I love the sweet melodies you played… once in the life time you should release a big demo album with all of these (and other) beautiful songs dear Dr Mix… keep going 👍✌️🙂
Bellissimo omaggio al Maestro Fiorenzo Carpi! Quando poi hai suonato Metheny ho pensato che sarebbe fantastico se facessi una cover di It’s For You in omaggio anche al grande Lyle Mays ❤
Thank you for this. I have never heard the melodion played professionally like this. I didn’t even know they had bass and soprano, or wood. I used to have one when I was a kid that my sisters used at school. Melodeon and recorder were my first instruments
This is just sounds so peace.. it's feel so humane and serene like you were in some kind of village near the shore at the morning with clear sky and warm sun..
Если бы я получила такую посылку, я бы сошла с ума от счастья! А как прекрасно Вы играли на всех этих инструментах! Какая прекрасная музыка! Спасибо!!!❤😂
Great presentation. I went from decades of piano to melodica and love my big hammond pro. It allows a kind of intimate expressive relationship that simply does not exist with digital keyboards.
Such beautiful instruments and a very moving rendition of Antonia. I love the Piccalo Melodica, and the Wood one is stunning! Enjoy! Grazie per la bellezza e la gioia che porti ai tuoi spettatori!

Doc, you and your crew should be so proud of this artistic creation you've chosen to funnel into a TH-cam video. I'm speechless and moved.
Yeah, this was one of the best videos i've ever seen. Even by Dr mix standards this one is high!
yes indeed
agreed, for about twelve minutes the world around me disappeared as I got pulled into the world of melodions.
And yet... he played an instrument in the intro then said he wasn't going to open it so it would be a surprise, but we'd already seen it.
@sydmccreath4554 Yeah... the only reason I continued watching was because I was curious whether he would talk about what the pickup is.
I was actually wondering if they'd picked up a license to use James Antaki's patented optical free-reed pickup, but I'm guessing not as there's nothing on the internet about the circuitry they're using, so I'm guessing it's just internal mics...

Ps. It was over too soon please do a part 2, 3….😊
Yes. Please, please.
Pat Metheny’s “Antonia”. One of my favorite songs of all time 💙
I was familiar with the Pinnochio theme, if not the television program from which it came. But I nearly fainted with joy when you covered a Pat Metheny tune. Love them all!
Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤

The Suzuki Andes 25F is absolutely delightful. The tone of it is so pure, so soft, so beautiful. Huge respect to Suzuki-Hammond for sending you these!
Just Italians can understand the beauty of Pinocchio music ! We are proud of you Claudio! One of the best tune ever!
Cercavo questo commento ❤
@@maestrodavid8232 gloria a Fiorenzo Carpi
Beh, chi come me si ricorda di questo brano è decisamente “vintage “. Bellissimo sentilo nuovamente e, sopratutto, su TH-cam
No, this ist one of my absolut favorit melodies, Since I heard it the first time in the 70s. There was also one other thene, a fast piano played, wich was combiend with that slow one. I often, play these two melodies one my piano. Oh and I'm from Switzerland, not from Italy.😊
@@FrogmanSoundlab-s7e “Birichinata” by Fiorenzo Carpi?
What a beautiful sound. Suzuki could not have spend better money on any type of advertising. You are a true master of synth, melodion and of piano.
Hours later. I keeeep coming back to this video. There is something so wholesome and comforting about the sound of this simple instrument and about the careful and loving way you treat and play it - I sit and listen with a smile and a watery eye. Thanks, Claudio.
They sent you Melodion instruments ... you give them back pure gold. Probably you are tired of hearing the same words again and again but ... thank you Dr. Mix.
I am getting Studio Ghibli vibes from this music! Very wonderful video and instruments!
Wow the passion just blasts from this video Claudio, Hammond -Suzuki struck gold sending you these instruments. That last song is so perfectly played and produced you could score it straight under a Ghibli movie.
Beautiful piece, sounds so lush and french. Awesome instrument as well!
Even your enthusiasm makes me happy. I love melodicas.
Edit: The Andes 25F sounds adorable
I like the Andes too, but they all sound great and can have their place especially when talented people use them as seen in this video.
I cannot understand why this channel hasn't reached over a million subscribers yet! This video alone is a gem of itself. I really enjoyed this one. It sounds so well on my system!
Probably has more. Screwtube fudges numbers and views so they don't have to pay. FACT.
After picking up harmonica a few years ago, that led me back to melodica, which I hadn’t played in decades. It’s a wonderful and underrated instrument.
Das kann ich bestätigen. Bin mit Hohner Melodicas groß geworden....
Ein unterschätztes Instrument
Ti sei davvero superato! Che bel video che hai tirato su. Chi è nato in Italia negli anni 70 avrà apprezzato alla follia. Come me, del resto!

I like how it limits you in the right way and forces you to create the actual melodies and not just some riffs or solos
The melodeon is an instrument that Japanese schoolchildren have been practising in music class for decades without fail. Thanks for drawing our attention to it.
The wooden one sounds amazing , thanks for sharing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A one word description of the Melodion sound: “Wistful” ❤

I think this video will boost their sales for sure. The Andes is my favourite, such a unique timbre. It's like a pitch perfect whistle.
Ondes, as in 'waves'.
No no, Andes, as in "The Andes"
@@tanc94 No, it's not that.
This is probably the best of yours I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤❤
I am lost for words how beautiful this is. You are amazing Claudio ❤️
Oh wow thank you!!!! ❤
Je n'en avais vu qu'en "jouée", je ne pensais pas que c'était un véritable instrument : une vraie découverte. Merci pour ce sympathique tuto

That was incredibly dreamy! I want more of these instruments, so beautiful of a sound, and so masterfully played.
Al tema di "Pinocchio" sono arrivate le lacrime... Fiorenzo Carpi era un gigante!
My daughters (5 and 7) are more and more interested in learning music and sitting down to the new keyboard I bought some months ago (even for myself to start from scratch again with playing piano after 30 years), but you Claudio also play an increasing role in this experience with your videos.
The girls became your fans in the last months and we all are eagerly waiting for every video from Doctor Mix.
This one with the melodions - beside the jamming, reconstruction and challange videos - was by now their favourite (I had to replay it multiple times 😉).
They need help with understanding English, but even they have selected their favourite Melodion(s).
I would like to thank you so much for producing such great and valuable music contents here!
Love melodions. I have a Suzuki myself from the 70ies from my dad's business. It has worked without fault since, even the plastic tube.
Piango per la commovente bellezza di questa esibizione, Pinocchio è una hit intramontabile ed evocativa. Grazie Doctor Claudio
An absolutely beautiful piece at the end there. Thanks for that. There is hope in the music world still.
I only needed to hear the first 3 notes in the intro to know that was Antonia by Pat Metheny! Well done! Love that song!
Claudio, super melodion demos. Your musicianship is wonderful, especially with the tunes you played. Just a big thank you- made me smile, and I’m adding a Melodium to my Christmas wish list! I already have an accordion 😎🤓

LOVE accordions! In the hands of a master they are just pure pleasure to experience. Knew a Russian who could make his do anything.😊
Having you whistling the melody on top of the melodion sound makes such a beautyful result.

This is awesom Doc! So nostalgic. Love the timbre dynamics on the last one. The one with piccolo flute sound was so special too!
What a great demos, I love the sweet melodies you played… once in the life time you should release a big demo album with all of these (and other) beautiful songs dear Dr Mix… keep going 👍✌️🙂
...ricordo anch'io lo sceneggiato di Pinocchio. Thank you so much for your great version! (...and also for Antonia...)
Bellissimo omaggio al Maestro Fiorenzo Carpi! Quando poi hai suonato Metheny ho pensato che sarebbe fantastico se facessi una cover di It’s For You in omaggio anche al grande Lyle Mays ❤
Thank you for this. I have never heard the melodion played professionally like this. I didn’t even know they had bass and soprano, or wood.
I used to have one when I was a kid that my sisters used at school. Melodeon and recorder were my first instruments
Sounds like a Zelda quest theme.
This is just sounds so peace.. it's feel so humane and serene like you were in some kind of village near the shore at the morning with clear sky and warm sun..
I really like the 44 one, nice sound and more than enough keys to express.
Если бы я получила такую посылку, я бы сошла с ума от счастья! А как прекрасно Вы играли на всех этих инструментах! Какая прекрасная музыка! Спасибо!!!❤😂
Great presentation. I went from decades of piano to melodica and love my big hammond pro. It allows a kind of intimate expressive relationship that simply does not exist with digital keyboards.
These all sound incredible and super useful! I had no idea Hammond was making such a variety of high quality Melodica type instruments.
Such beautiful instruments and a very moving rendition of Antonia. I love the Piccalo Melodica, and the Wood one is stunning! Enjoy!
Grazie per la bellezza e la gioia che porti ai tuoi spettatori!
Oh my... Pinocchio's theme! As an italian who grew loving Pinocchio's TV series... Thank you!
That Metheny tune and that instrument in your expert hands is nostalgia in music form. What a beautiful video. Thank you!!!
