this is the "Lets see your MELODICAS" thread right?

YEAH. YEAH, THAT IS RIGHT.
LET'S GO.


Refinished that jank in hammered Rustoleum and shiny metallic paint simultaneously. For better tone.

I LOVE contact mic'd melodica. Through METULZ distortion it sounds like you're in the bowels of a ship that just ran into something and the bending steel is resonating throughout. Titanictoans for days. Pedalodica yields toans more brutal and dissonant than any pointy guitar ever could.

i want one, too.

Haha my friend has like a $40 one that's always fun to mess with.

I've thought of getting one for ages. And some sort of glockenspiel/bell set. Having at that stuff with a contact mic, a polyphonic pitch shifter with decent tracking, and a stereo Leslie effect -- mmmm.

I want one.
No budget.
What should I get?

Mine was $20 on ebay
Go for it dudes.
It may look like a novelty, but hey, it's a wind instrument and you can do lots of fun things with those.
Just don't record yourself playing white people covers of rap songs for Youtube. It ain't a ukulele

i bought the 27-key version which is the same register that Augustus Pablo used. i meant to do dub stuff with it, but wind up playing it more like a saxophone.

SERIOUSLY.

Awwww maaaaaan... I used to have one, a weird one that I bought at a consignment shop back in the mid-90's. The singer from my band at the time wanted to do more than just sing, so she started playing keys, and I let her use the melodica as well.

Then the band broke up, and I realized a year later that I didn't know where my melodica was.

And then I kicked myself.

I inherited my melodica from my gf's grandfather, don't play it much but they are tons of fun. I'm too lazy to take a picture of it, but I did find an old photo with it in it. I don't own half the stuff in this photo anymore, but whatever.

I always wanted to get one....

And just because this picture is awesome:
