Melodicas
Explore the unique fusion of a wind instrument and a keyboard with Melodicas. Often referred to as a "blow-organ" or "key-harmonica," this portable and versatile instrument produces a rich, accordion-like reed sound when air is blown through a mouthpiece while keys are depressed. It offers an accessible and highly expressive way to play melodies, making it a favorite for musicians of all ages and genres.
This category features a wide selection of melodicas available in various note ranges, primarily soprano (27-key), alto (32-key), and tenor (37-key) configurations. Material options include durable ABS plastic for classroom environments and premium models featuring high-quality metal reeds for a richer, more consistent tone. They are ideal for music education, solo practice, jam sessions, and live stage performances in genres ranging from pop and jazz to dub and world music.

Key features include comfortable, responsive keyboards, efficient air-tight valves to prevent breath leakage, and moisture release buttons for easy maintenance. Each melodica typically comes with a short mouthpiece (for playing while holding the instrument) and a long flexible tube (for playing on a flat surface like a piano).Melodicas are commonly supplied with soft or hard carrying cases and cleaning cloths.
