Product description
A **melodica**, also known as a **melodihorn**, is a portable keyboard instrument that is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece while pressing the keys. The instrument is similar to a piano in terms of its layout, but instead of being struck by hammers like a traditional piano, the melodica uses air pressure to create sound.
The **blow pipe** is the part of the instrument that the player blows air into. This pipe is typically attached to the mouthpiece, which is the part the player places in their mouth. When air is blown into the mouthpiece, it passes through the blow pipe and into a chamber where it vibrates reeds, producing sound.
**Mouthpiece**: The mouthpiece is the part of the melodica through which the player blows air. It connects to the blow pipe, which leads into the instrument’s reed chamber.
The melodica's sound is produced by the air passing through metal reeds tuned to specific pitches. It is a unique hybrid of wind and keyboard instruments, offering both melody and harmonics. It's popular in many genres of music, especially in jazz, reggae, and world music, because of its distinctive sound and portability.
