Have you seen Episode 1? • Video
Disclaimer: This is me and what you’re seeing is real. I’m not trying to be who I think the world wants me to be, I am just being myself.
One thing I never see people demonstrate is articulation, ala trumpet and harmonica.
You can do the trumpet tongue thing, you can do harmonica-style throat vibrato, and you can combine "key stopping" with "tongue stopping" to get a very specific attack on the notes.
Just saying: human lungs (and throat and tongue) are more than just a compressor.
Great insight! Yes, your mouth and breath control takes this instrument to another level!
@@WillBorza It sounds better when you do and is basically an easier to play Chromatic Harmonica at that point.
The Gregorian chant Dies Irae is used heavily in movies and music to represent death. You may not recognize it at first, but then you look up compilation videos on TH-cam.
There are songs older than Auld Lang Syne in use today, but they usually aren’t united music and lyrics. The music could be written down somewhere and the lyrics somewhere else-the poem Auld Lang Syne was probably sung to a different tune long ago. And it’s not Middle English, it’s the Scots language, which descended from the Scottish dialect of Middle English.
4:50 I would say Greensleaves. It was written by an anonymous composer in 1580. The melody for Auld Lang Syne is from early 1800s.
+Jan Gustavsson good call! I bet you're right! At least in western music. There may be some Ragas still in circulation or something.
Supposedly it was composed by a King to declare his love for a woman. A very timeless and sort of haunting melody that was appropriated by Christianity for "What Child Dis?".
Also Auld Lang Syne is in Scots, not Middle English. ;)
@@WillBorza Dont know about the West, but in Korea, there's a piece of music that they talk about in music class that's almost 1400 years old, called Sujecheon. It's been passed down for over a thousand years until it was finally written down a couple hundred years ago. I doubt your average Korean would recognize it, unless they're rly into Korean Classical music, though. There are some pieces of Japanese classical music that are around that old as well.
Very cool!
Yes. It's Greensleeves. The tune is a Romanesca and is about 600 years old and came from Italy.
U had the ultimate chance to call it “unboxing and first blow” and you blew it!
*"Snake thing..."*
I love you 😂
Good review too, I was thinking about buying a good sounding melodica and this model came up when I was searching.
🤣 😂
It’s not really spit, it’s moisture from your breath-breathe with your mouth really close to a table and it will start to accumulate.
all the high school musicians in band always called it spit and it made everyone who was ignorant to it in the room uncomfortable lol. ...except me and a few others who weren't grossed out even though we thought of it as spit sometimes.
Greensleeves is traditionally considered to have been written by King Henry VIII, but I've read that there is no definitive proof of this. Another very old tune that's pretty well known today is Scarborough Fair, popularized by Simon & Garfunkle. Anyway, I recently got the P37D, and it is very nice. I am happy with it!
This is years gone by now, but for Auld Lang Syne, I'll mention that "syne" is not "song" in Scots; it is closer to "since". "The Old Long Song" is actually a completely different set of lyrics - not a translation. Auld Lang Syne is more properly interpreted as "the times we shared long ago"- implying "we've been through a lot, my friend". Great video.
for good times jay , rabbie burns
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest song still widely enough known. Peter Pringle did a video demonstrating it as well as other ancient music including the oldest known musical notation piece.
Oldest song known by everyone? Star Spangled Banner? Thanks for shooting and sharing.
This is A Absoloutley Lovely TH-cam video mate I have A melodica just Like you.!
Aha! The Chainsmokers' "Closer" at 3:01.
You should learn “And We Danced” by The Hooters
3:38 Up
The Best!
Whats the name of first song?
Is that a wurly just leaning against the wall? If so, awesome! You should find a place for it though! I feel bad for it there. Nice vid. I'm looking into one of these "pianicas" or "melodicas". I already got a wurly too hehe
Yup! It's a Wurlitzer! It has two bad keys, and I only have three of the four legs, and the sustain pedal is stripped... so it has a bit of work to be done to it...
As for melodicas, I am really diggin my Yamaha. It's just shy of $100 USD and has such great tone!
Menarik. I can be play pianica after see your video. Thank you so much. See you
What's the volume like? I live with housemates and I'm sure they do not share my love of creating music. Will this be loud enough to disturb someone the next room over?
Yes it will. It carries pretty well. I'd recommend playing into a closet or waiting til they leave, or asking them when the best time is for you to play.
The L.A. Recordist Thanks for the heads up! This seems very cool and I'll definitely be checking out the melodica/pianica.
Hey, I hope you'll see & answer my question! I just got my 2nd Melodica and I am just as unhappy with it as I am with the 1st one! I've had a Hohner Superforce and now a Walther. I'm now considering to spend more for this Yamaha if it works better. You didn't seem to have the struggle I have: Do the notes respond very diferently to the same air pressure? Because mine do - one note can be very sensitive while for example for the low C, I need 3x as much air as for the ones next to it. Ergo I can't play them silently + it happens all the time that the tones come way too late because I have to adjust my air. Did you notice that problem with your Yamaha too? Or with any other melodica, so you could compare it to the yamaha?
Hello! I understand the problem you’re having and I see how frustrating it would be. I’ve never had this problem with the Yamaha, so brand/build quality may be your problem. But also remember to clean your melodica regularly, brush your teeth before playing, etc.
@@WillBorza Thanks. I ordered a Yamaha now and I hope that I'll like it better. Do you clean your melodica from the inside and how, or just the surface?
@1518 Hey! I did get mine and I quite like it. It's still not perfect and some keys are harder to blow than other but it's much better than the others I had and it's better in tune (still not entirely though). For me it was worth it.
Dueling banjos!!!!
I'm gonna buy one. Endless fun. This model gets good reviews. They say it's less resistance if you play it to the face. You have to push harder when playing through the tube?
I find this to be true, but it's hardly noticeable. I usually use the tube because I can see the keys.
Maybe something like The Great Gates of Kiev? Btw. Just found you and you just got a new sub!
Hey Sonny! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!
Check out religious anthem Bogurodzica in Wikipedia. Very old song, known and sang by medieval kings, knights and henchmen:)
condensation is not spit
I'd say Happy Birthday.
now you play ‘sammy dead O’
Хороший и позитивный обзор ! Спасибо тебе большое ,друг :))
Спасибо за просмотр!
You think auld lang syne is the most known somg? Nearly every english speaker learns the alphabet song, written in 1835.
Is there any shoulder belt of melodica available?
These 2 vids inspired me to get the melodica: Weezer Blue Album played entirely on Melodica haha: th-cam.com/video/Aw9JEIU9yf0/w-d-xo.html and Cinema Paradiso's theme played on it (sounds really expressive): th-cam.com/video/XJZRejpGphk/w-d-xo.html and thats how i ended up on your vid learning about the Melodica i just got (i was curious if that button was a split release or a 'vibrato button' haha [it does kinda do a vibrato when you press it fast hehe] )... Do you still have to open it up to clean out any moisture?
Excited for you! No need to open it up 🤙
I think it's darude sandstorm.... lol
be thou my vision
Is this what they call the Death Grips?
I'd say Wonderwall..
Names can not be copyrighted
yamaha calls it that so they can stand out
Mickey Mouse would like to know your location 😂
@@WillBorza Lol. That is a little different but what i'm saying is, disney cant copyright you for saying mouse even though mickey is a mouse.
I may be wrong, I often am. I just though that Hohner owned the name “Melodica”. You’re probably right. Yamaha is just trying to stand out.
It hurt my eyes how you store your wurli
I was going to say twinkle twinkle little star
Play fur elise
Suena muy bien :)
How much price
It’s Scottish 😎
hmm,awesome pianica,how much it's?I mean the cost,i want buy it to
+Dzaka Aufa I think it's about $100 USD, maybe a little less
The L.A. Recordist wow,it's expensive i think.Cause i live in Indonesia.But,few minute ago,i check the cost it's just IDR 700,maybe it's just USD 50
+Dzaka Aufa I've seen it go for more and less depending on who you're buying it from. Since it's made in Japan, perhaps its less in Indonesia because it costs less to ship it there. It's really great! Totally worth the price. Way better than the others in the same price range.
Amazing grace?
Greensleeves 1580
Mary has a little lamb

I swear I would have thought you’re my uncle but he does graphic design and I’m scared

Bohemian rhapsody

뭐야시부러산노~~^^
)))))
I bought this exact melodica (same color even) from Amazon and it’s so far out of tune that it’s unplayable. Each octave is out of tune with each other octave. All chords are automatically out of tune, and forget about trying to play with someone else. Using my pederson tuner, each note shows that it’s off by between 25 and 50 cents of pitch. I saw so many good videos about this model, but it really is a piece of junk, and my friend’s $25 no-name melodica sounds world’s better. I’ve been mixing audio with a pair of yamaha monitors for 16 years now, I guess they take their electronics manufacturing far more seriously than their instrument manufacturing.
Sounds like you should return that one and ask for a new one that isn’t broken. Mine plays fairly decently in tune. It’s not perfect, but I’m also not trying to be a professional melodica performer.
It amazes me how people get off on listening to themselves talk. More playing, less talk.
There is a lot of demo videos around
@@mysty1353 we are here for either the playing and the talks, its not a cover its a review..
