I can only say that after Prince left us…I lost all hope in music….but H.E.R, John Baptiste, Coi Leray, and Samara Joy is getting me back right with music…we gonna go on…
I’m going to try to get one so I can play it wherever I want and maybe I’ll end up writing a melódica concerto? Thank you for that inspiration, the people who take it seriously like jean batiste and hayato sumino!
I taught myself piano on a kids electronic toy that was similar to a piano. You played it by following the color coded music with the colored keys. I just translated it to the piano from there.
Is that a Hohner student model? Looks like from opening. Had and gave to friend as I have 3 other ones, which, unfortunately don’t have that terrific opening (no need for mouthpiece).
My kid and I are playing a word game and she found that word, but we didn’t know what the heck that was. This was the first one we clicked on. Sounds nice, but she said it’s a piano-phone 😂😂 I like her version way better 😂 ❤
@@ytchannel000 definitely not true. Reed material and case material amongst 9ther things effect the sound. That said, if you're a beginner, get any of them. Just expect the cheaper ones might come out of tune. Yamaha p32d or p37d is a solid instrument if you're looking to spend a bit more. Same with suzuki mc 32 or mc 37
Apparently, the melodica is more responsive to breath control (so, for vibrato and dynamics) when you do not use a mouth piece. As far as I can tell, the best players prefer either no mouthpiece or the trumpet style one. The sax style mouthpiece ranks next and the long bendy tube is last.
his skills are insane he doesnt even have to look
Coming from a musician, muscle memory is very important. Most guitarist and pianist never really look at the frets or keys.
@@kpatty9987yep, but it looks cool to people who dont play anything
@@Americaisgreat35 100%
@@kpatty9987yeah… played piano for 11 years and found muscle memory easier than reading music. Most people are still amazed by it though 😅
It's actually very ez. It's like knowing where the door nob is, without needing to look at a door.
It's not a kid's toy there are professional melodica players
Yes he’s one of them.
goddamn you just gave that thing a soul. it's alive!!!
I think a clear sign that a melodica is now truly an instrument is that every key is tuned properly. Most keyboard kids toys aren't like that!
hohner has one of the best melodicas andn I think they've been doing that already, nah?
Not a toy man! This is a really cool and serious instrument x
Damn straight it's a Great instrument
Anything he puts his hands on is a "serious instrument ". Love this guy, amazing. ❤
This is my favorite thing ever. It's not about the instrument, it's about the player 👏👏👏
Daaam he’s mad talented
You should be a triple threat at the 2024 Grammy awards. 👍👍
Sounds absolutely amazing 😂
augustus pablo is smiling from the afterlife

That’s insane! I want that 😂
Augustus Pablo would disagree with the comment that it's a kids toy. Stay High
You are so amazing
Procedes to play a banger 😂
Wow ❤ this

I can only say that after Prince left us…I lost all hope in music….but H.E.R, John Baptiste, Coi Leray, and Samara Joy is getting me back right with music…we gonna go on…
Cuz girls are players too...ayyyye
Well, I disagree that it's a kid's toy. You and Augustus Pablo have long disproved that idea, but I admire what you do with it.
GOD Bless You 😇🙏🕊️🕊️🙌🎵🎶 Music to My Ears 😍🌹
Jon's so talented, he could play a type writer and make beautiful music 😊
I watched your Netflix abd I have to say you are one of kind a true artist. Best wishes and God Bless to you and your wife.

he's the only person who can make this a serious instrument!
So proud of this young man! What a blessing he is so talented, may God, continue to bless you in the years to come.once again congratulations!!!❤
❤See you in Atlanta Sunday night!!! Can’t wait!!!😊
I just got one and I love it! It's actually easier to play fast because the keys are lighter and closer together.
Wow... Awesome... Amazing melody. Mow buying one.
My goddd❤❤❤
It's a good instrument for jazz
It's a serious instrument now! 💯%
I’m going to try to get one so I can play it wherever I want and maybe I’ll end up writing a melódica concerto? Thank you for that inspiration, the people who take it seriously like jean batiste and hayato sumino!
Damn, pretty sure I talked to this guy at the bus stop on Broad and Esplanade a few years back
and... did he play that melodion in front of u?
@@ytchannel000 Sure did, that's what started our conversation
I had that as a kid
I think anything has the potential to be a serious instrument, it's all up to the player.
I taught myself piano on a kids electronic toy that was similar to a piano. You played it by following the color coded music with the colored keys. I just translated it to the piano from there.
Love dat!
I dis agree he plays it like a serious instrument all the time.
I didn't know I could play vibrato on a melodica, cool.
Is that a Hohner student model? Looks like from opening. Had and gave to friend as I have 3 other ones, which, unfortunately don’t have that terrific opening (no need for mouthpiece).
🐐
i like
how you play
I want french fries after looking at his hair
i used to think this instrument has the worst sound but this change my outlook
Well it's a toy but to get that vibrato hell out of it takes guts
My kid and I are playing a word game and she found that word, but we didn’t know what the heck that was. This was the first one we clicked on. Sounds nice, but she said it’s a piano-phone 😂😂
I like her version way better 😂 ❤
Not a serious instrument? Tell that to Augustus Pablo
He didn’t say it wasn’t one. He said it’s not meant to be played like one.
@@taylorrenee4880he called it a kids toy
@@nicolascoles7402 becuz that's what ppl describe it.
Beautiful! Is he improvising or is this a famous tune?
#magicfingers
Why is bro not using the mouthpiece
I want to buy one, but I'm worried about transpose. Doest it have such a capability to transpose?
What brand is that one it sounds good
all melodions (melodica) sound the same. They don't depend on brands. So go and grab the one you like
@@ytchannel000 definitely not true. Reed material and case material amongst 9ther things effect the sound. That said, if you're a beginner, get any of them. Just expect the cheaper ones might come out of tune.
Yamaha p32d or p37d is a solid instrument if you're looking to spend a bit more. Same with suzuki mc 32 or mc 37
Wait.... does he not have a mouthpiece on that?
I didn’t see it.

Hooter ? Melodica?
Hes in b flat minor 😊
You call that a child’s toy????? Brah kids can’t even play instruments unless they are taught, and they can go up to 1,000.00 dollars.
Genius.
