Indeed. It is using only air for many years. I can attest to this as I've owned a, light green, Hohner soprano since about 1992 (it's an 31 years old musical instrument)
@@dylanjordan4747I'm pretty sure they were confirming that, because Melodicas don't use air unless a key is being pressed. If you blow into one without pressing a key the air won't pass through unless you force it VERY hard.
But regardless does not really matter, Melodica is breath controlled, you don't control when you play by pressing the keys repeatedly, it's not a piano, the keys only control what notes you are playing , your breath controls when you are actually playing them. TLDR; you play it more like saxophone that is keyboard shaped, than a piano that you blow into. Edit: Unless you are specifically hooking it up to a hair dryer, then you play it like a piano.

It sounds a lot like those old bellows organs from our grandparents day. The one with a bunch of white buttons on the left side labelled "major" and "minor".
kinda reminds me of 10 years old me pulling a plastic santa-boot over the light bulp of my desk lamp to get a red light... needless to say that didn´t go too well :)
The day I first got my cheap-ass melodica, from when I opened the package, touched it, held it, smelled its plastic and factory smell, that was the best day of my life
Melodica + hair dryer? That has to remind me of this: using a balloon with a chromatic harmonica to make it sound like a bagpipe, where the player inserts the balloon into the first hole of his instrument for it to serve as a drone.
I am excited when we are watching some on stage performance of a Melodica player who is first of all connecting the hair dryer and then performing while holding the hair dryer😂
The melodica is such an under-appreciated instrument, we always see this as that one instrument we get to learn at primary schools and play the same damn songs over and over again, and us young generations poke fun at it by playing meme songs. But this instrument at the hands of a professional can turn this 'kid's music learning machine' into a serenading accordion-like sound by combining it with sforzando technique and vibrato by slowly changing the flow of the air from your lungs. Plus, I still could not believe this instrument was used in a Jazz band and the comments section being ran by 7th graders, it really is a versatile instrument and a geniuinely amazing contraption in portable reed organs.
I certainly agree. At least in my case, if it hadn't been for Damon Albarn, I wouldn't have realized that I liked it.I don't know how it is in your country but at least in Mexico (where I'm from) they don't ask us for melodicas, but flutes. and to tell the truth, since I have an e to say that it is a beautiful instrument
@@cartondecawamas They use both recorders and melodicas in here, some predominantly Islamic schools also give out hadroh or Arabic percussion which consists of bass drum, darbuka, and other percussion instruments that I may give out the name but will need lots of explaining.
Its surprisingly low, the motor in a hair dryer on full power only draws about 46 watts, the rest of the 1850 watts comes from the heating coils. Its why when you turn one on, you notice the lights dim briefly from the sudden power draw, but when its turned on to cool there is no dimming.
An addendum, professional hair dryers like the ones found in barber shops have a 46 watt motor, the ones found in 1850w home hair dryers have ones that tap off the heating coil power supply and only consume 12 watts at most.

I'd like to see you attach a second melodica to the hair dryer by connecting two hoses in whatever way you can, so you can play them with both hands. Maybe you could find a hose that has a Y shaped end or you could make one somehow.
it's funny and awesome but bear in mind that with any sort of single reed instrument like accordeon, harmonica and this, blowing too hard might damage them, might want to look for a very slow dryer if you want to do this for real
It's not a melodica now
It is an organ
LOL
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, a reed organ, or a harmonium.
Internal or vital
I mean…kinda yeah. Organs use air when a key is pressed to make a sound. Some of them even do use reeds, like melodicas.
If the Melodica just uses air when you click a key, I’m impressed
Indeed. It is using only air for many years. I can attest to this as I've owned a, light green, Hohner soprano since about 1992 (it's an 31 years old musical instrument)
@@geormaiai think they meant air is only used when a key is pressed as to not waste any breathe

Thanks for the information.

I have a melodica. My nickname for her is simply "Keyboard to Kill Asthmatics"
Bro💀 rickrolled us💀
ok
Us*
@@AntiShadman6969ね
When i saw this comment i already left the video lol
Bro spoiled the video 💀
Melodica is not a terrible instrument and you can also play it with blowing
You copied me!
cæt
Well yeah. That’s the only way to get the melodica to make noise if you don’t use a convoluted contraption like this fella did
Yeah, by blowing, how else am I supposed to play it then? Strumming it? Putting the hose on my nerves?
What time of blowing😏
😂😂 the only solution for long term playing
we use melodica to learn simple songs in school instead of using keyboard / piano
infinitely better than recorder for starting out
If this reply gets 300 comments I’ll shoutout everyone
Hello my man, I hope it gets 200 replies
Lol, bread 🍞

Hi
yoyoyo
I left my hair dryer in its warm mode rather than cool and the mouthpiece melted
kinda reminds me of 10 years old me pulling a plastic santa-boot over the light bulp of my desk lamp to get a red light...
needless to say that didn´t go too well :)

Bruh
everyone's talking about getting rickrolled when bad piggies is supreme here.
I WAS EXPECTING CLINT EASTWOOD LOL
If you pay my electric bill, using this hair dryer , I can play melodica/pianika/harmonica too....for days...😅😂🤣
The melodica is a very expressive instrument--if you BLOW into it😂
???????????????????
Well back in time ... also expensive...If you know what I mean...now maybe is cheaper...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@SBETK2025Second
Blowing into it lets you control the volume.
Blow ?
I have a little electric organ that is literally this, a motor attached to a melodica.
Melodica + hair dryer?
That has to remind me of this: using a balloon with a chromatic harmonica to make it sound like a bagpipe, where the player inserts the balloon into the first hole of his instrument for it to serve as a drone.
A diatonic one would work better as a bagpipe is also diatonic.

Lazy man's saxophone 😁
@@pan2aja Real, sometimes I cover out Kenny G songs on the melodica out of boredom.
Should have expected the Rick Roll t the end lol. Also, the hairdryer lol
It's true! We got rickrolled by a melodica
❌ playing the melódica ✅making ASMR at melodica
This is how pipe organs work.
Hey, you, hairdryer, yes, you, come on, get into my pocket!
Fully expected the Rick roll we all know at this point
Nice energyconsumption for an instrument :D

melodica my first instrument to me interest and able to play piano now lol
Even if I think about it for 40 years, I can't think of anything like this.
Once I meet a crazy violinist in April, and I saw her playing a melódica with some kids.

Melocida like a piano but i play
My grandpa had one he played in church on Sundays. Then I started playing it in church. When gramps died I kept it. Til some dusty stole it.

Never gonna give you up - By Rick Astley
Desert you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hurt you
[Verse 1]
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (Do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
[Verse 2]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (To say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (Going on)
We know the game, and we're gonna play it
Never hot rick rolled?
Im still wanted keyboard but…
I just realized that this does the same thing that the 1976 home organ I have, but it’s 5x smaller.
Thou simply endedst up making a mechanically blown organ!
Ahora un vídeo de esas melodías con las notas musicales v:
😅
i am wondering how can humanity rise above this miracle
Be honest , fan will deafen it.
0:49 I got Rick rolled 😂
i was waiting for "stereo love" and got rickrolled My Disappointment is Immeasurable and My Day is Ruined
I'd like to see you attach a second melodica to the hair dryer by connecting two hoses in whatever way you can, so you can play them with both hands. Maybe you could find a hose that has a Y shaped end or you could make one somehow.
Te gusta,es muy tocable😂😮😮😢
Not them playing the bad piggies theme
Um, is anyone gonna talk about how he rickrolled us💀
it's funny and awesome but bear in mind that with any sort of single reed instrument like accordeon, harmonica and this, blowing too hard might damage them, might want to look for a very slow dryer if you want to do this for real
Adiós control de dinámica 😂
How dare you Rickroll us!
Best part was when 75 years later comes up 😂😂😂 i laughed so hard😂
Why does there always have to be a RICKROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need something to control speed of air on a left hand in a smooth mode.
Play Twinkle Twinkle little star on this instrument. It is my favourite song
