Hohner

Description

HOHNER invented the melodica decades ago and it became a featured instrument in so many genres including funk, reggae, jazz, pop and folk etc. that it demanded a new personality. With its cool new appearance, striking padded travel bag and redesigned BlowFlow mouthpiece, the AirBoard is designed for a new generation of musicians. This is the AirBoard 32, a 32-key version.

The AirBoard requires no computer, no cables, and no power source. At it's affordable price, anyone can grab an AirBoard and jam anywhere joining ukulele players, guitarists and other acoustic musicians. The AirBoard enables musicians to add a unique look and sound to their performances. A combination of a keyboard and a harmonica, it is ideal for keyboard players who want a mobile instrument with a different timbre.

Not Recommended For People With Budgets

For students I would highly recommend Hohner S37 Performer (Item #: 1296155736131), it's basically the same except the mouthpiece. You can get 5 extra keys and it would still be cheaper than this 32 key airboard. Then, if you really want to major this instrument or perform or anything you can STILL use that melodica, but if you want a better saliva valve and/or a better mouthpiece get this. Other than that, this is a very good product, great sound, nice tone, excellent intonation, and even a great design and a case that matches your airboard! I got a ton of compliments for the case when I'm walking around. Recommended for performing and professional musicians, not recommended if on a budget.

Better but not perfect

Had the 37 before and the top keys never got used. So loud! Tape on the sound holes on the back make it both quieter and more responsive. Would just get a cheap Casio but I am sick of batteries and circuit boards. The springs will wear out but can be replaced easily. Better than a piano app for noodling.

    This is a well built melodica with a nice flexible mouthpiece and gig bag. Very easy to use and play.

    Hello! I have a 20% coupon that expired, may I use it on this Melodica? I would like to use it when I teach elementary music in the fall!
