I have an old Bohemia, gathering dust somewhere in my parents' home.
We got people playing stringed instruments! It's the end of days.

Re: Melodicas!
I bought one cheap on ebay about 4 months ago.
Great fun but it takes some getting used to with the blow-and-play technique.
Even though I haven't smoked anything for almost a yearI get out of breath pretty damn quickly.
Cool little gizmo though & it sounds great.

You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Re: Melodicas!
I have the same one + awesome sleighbells
I just used it on my latest noise track on my rpm challenge page, add phaser and bitcrusher to it, lol
LOVE IT
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Re: Melodicas!
I got a melodica not too long ago. I've used it twice. 
One of those cases of "if I buy this, I'll use it all the time, I have so many great ideas"...

Re: Melodicas!
I love Melodicas, however Augustus Pablo owned/defined/mastered the instrument and I doubt anyone will ever get one sounding so good. Rockers Uptown.
And the non dub version which is surely one of the greatest pop songs ever (the Colourbox version is amazing too though for full effect the seven inch one best)

Re: Melodicas!
Pioneers! Much of their output still sounds good, I still play Looks Like e're shy one horse, Moon Is Blue and Baby... when i'm Djing. Good sleeves too and they also recorded probably the only good Football (soccer) related track ever); The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme. I know some people will big up World In Motion but that is a) utter gash and b) England supporting and as a proud Scot I can't get behind that. Colourbox were also involved in perhaps the only UK number one I like; Anitina the AA side of Pump Up the Volume by MARRS.dain wrote:WOW a shoutout to colourbox! that's pretty RARE!shadowplay wrote: I love Melodicas, however Augustus Pablo owned/defined/mastered the instrument and I doubt anyone will ever get one sounding so good.
