If you want to know what model this is that I am playing, it is called the Hohner Performer Melodica 37 Black. There are of course different brands and models to choose from. I recommend that you get the standard 37 key version, which is the one I have here. Let’s first have a look at the keys and layout of the melodica. So that is the quick overview of the melodica.
But even if there is not, you can still easily hold it with your thumb on the bottom, and fingers on top. If you prefer holding the instrument in your hand while playing, there is usually a strap on the back.
In most cases, beginners will use the hose, since you can then put down the melodica on a desk in front of you and clearly see all keys. I recommend that when you start learning, try out both the hose and the shorter mouthpiece, and see which one you prefer.
You can simply pick it up, connect the hose, and start playing. Now, one great thing about the melodica compared to for example a guitar, is that you never have to tune it before playing. Because moisture will build up inside it as you play. This way you can get rid of some of that moisture inside the melodica as well. Most melodicas also have a button on the backside, which you can press, and the blow into it without holding down any key. When you don’t use your melodica, I recommend that you disconnect the hose and mouthpiece, and blow hard into it to get rid of excess moisture. This is what you blow air into, to create the notes you want to play. With the melodica, you get a piano-like keyboard, but you also get a hose and mouthpiece, plus in most cases a shorter mouthpiece without a hose.
