UA-cam randomly decided to recommend me this video pretty much as soon as soon as it was published. I'm glad it did. It's a neat explainer, easy to follow and somewhat in-depth (though going more in-depth than that would've served little purpose).
I can't think of better words to say more than thank you. You are amazing, you made me laff on that jump Blur Clues style and suddenly I was so into it, you have a great amount if skills that make me wish I had you as a teacher when I was younger. You made me remember my parents teaching me about sound, chemistry, ligth, etc. I am so happy to have seen this.
Extremely well done Dave. I was wondering how the ending would turn out , but Bernoulli saved the day. Thrilling, educational, and sort of goofy. I love you for all. Keep playing that thing.
Spectacular, Dr. M! A thumbs up is just not enough! I appreciated learning all of the science behind these free-reeds...and great animation and music.....bravo!!
I love this video. Ah, Melodica is such an elegant and scientific music instrument that I have. ❤❤❤ And i also learn how to modify my reeds. Many thanks. 🙏
Great video, the physics behind it were really well done! It was a great idea to use a strobe light in place of a high speed camera for the video of the reed vibrating.
Amazing video!!!! I love the graphics, visuals and you as a tiny melodica man hahah, it’s entreating and educational at the same time. I’ll send this to my students, it’s just such a quality content!!!
That's a wonderful job. Thank you for investing your time in producing this video. It is extremely important for us, melodica lovers. I also really liked the music. I loved it when during the questions the chord gained dissonant notes (a dominant chord). I also liked the use of the keyboard sound, which I usually adopt in my compositions as well. I would like to contribute by making the subtitles in Portuguese, what do you think? We already communicated via email once, I think we can continue this conversation there. Congrats!!
wowwwww????!! this video is so flipping good !! i love the melodica and i always love learning about science and the acoustics of instruments. this communicates how it works really well. i learned more than i expected from this. physics class right now is about fluid dynamics and this vid made me understand the bernoulli effect a lil better. and it is also fun to watch, the visuals are really really really good. also love how theres melodica music in the background. amazing
This is a great video! All information explained very clearly and in a very easy way to understand. The graphics are superb and make it much easier to visualise what happens. Thank you very much!
Nice! Veary nice. Great job. I actually started by playing harmonica, where the principal is related to reeds as well. Hopefully I broke enough of harmonicas, to take good care of my melodica now! 😅
Very good video! I am thinking it must be a similar effect with the jews harp. Maybe the principle of the thickness of the tongue in relation to the opening plays the same role.
the over the shoulder strap is sweet its that like maybe even just taken from like a gymbag or something maybe ya got lucky and it just fit right on there eh
So reed instruments are not idiophones cause the sound doesn’t come from the vibration of the reed itself but from the modified air flow provoked by the reed movement. In the H.S. Classification they are classified correctly but i read somewhere else that reeds are also idiophones. Then there’s the mistery of Aeolsklavier and Piano Chanteur where they are classified as blown idiophones but are thought to be predecessors of Harmonium (which is the bigger size Melodica) and here we got the confirmation that they should be aerophones.
I've got a random melodica question and nowhere to ask it, so I'll ask it here. Do you know if anyone has ever tried to valve a melodicas the way chromatic harmonicas use valves (aka windsavers)? Obviously it isn't necessary on a melodica, but I do like the distanct sound that windsavers give chromatic harmonicas, so I'm wondering if in theory I could add some to ky melodica and alter the sound
Thank you tiny Melodica man

This is fantastic! I've recently started learning accordion and have had no idea how it works. This explains it so beautifully. I love!
Thank you!
Dave is the Melodica Doctor and Guru.
I am a doctor with no malpractice insurance!
You are very good at explaining scientific things in simple language! Love the animation. Great job!
Thank you very much!
Amazing video. Thank you Dr Melodica!
Thanks for all your help!!!!!!
OMG, I can't believe that this video is finally done 😳 Congrats David! 🥳
THANKS MAN!!!!
Dave! This is fantastic and I love it! Great animation and soundtrack!
Thanks Jim!!!!
Thank you doctor Melodica guy
Thank you Doctor!
Love the animation and your little cut-out self floating around. Lots of production quality in there. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!

Great Video David, congratulations
Many thanks!
Wow! This is such a well-produced video and detailed explanation. Amazing job, thanks for making this!
Thanks!!!
That turned out great! I liked the background music you made for it too.
Spectacular, Dr. M! A thumbs up is just not enough! I appreciated learning all of the science behind these free-reeds...and great animation and music.....bravo!!
Thank you so much!!!
What an amazing work! Thank you so much, I was so curios to know hot the melodica works.
This is amazing :) thank you 🙏

Great video, congrats on completing it! Very well produced.
That is genius! Thanks for the informative and detailed video.
Absolutely SUPERB video - I learnt so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow - awesome video Dave. Really nice explanation of how the instrument works. Congrats!
Thanks Paul!!!
Je suis fasciné.
This was a really informative video, I've always wondered about the science behind how my melodica makes noise!
Great video, the physics behind it were really well done! It was a great idea to use a strobe light in place of a high speed camera for the video of the reed vibrating.
Thanks! I love strobe photography!

I love that you noticed how I used a dominant chord to keep viewers on their toes!
@@dr.melodicadavidbrancazio8860 yes, please. I will send you an email soon.

Dave this is such a fun video, great job! The video is both educational and entertaining. Excellent overall production too!
Thanks!!!
very concise and on point explanation, I love it , Thank you Dr. Melodica
You're welcome!
Thanks for the education 😏! 'Preciate ya!
My pleasure!
This is beautiful, my friend, its bright as life! thank you, doc!
That was an amazing video. Great job Dr. M!
Great video!

Fascinating

Damn i wasn't ready
I used the gap tool for spark plugs to tune my melodica. Hey, what's a good pro-level melodica to buy?
Ha, good idea! I play a Hammond Pro 44HP. Check out melodicaworld.com for more ideas.
I've got a random melodica question and nowhere to ask it, so I'll ask it here. Do you know if anyone has ever tried to valve a melodicas the way chromatic harmonicas use valves (aka windsavers)?

Interesting question that I don't fully understand. Please post it to MelodicaWorld (on facebook, or .com)
Is the air we blow enough to ring 2 melodicas at the same time?
yes, some players do that.
@@dr.melodicadavidbrancazio8860 are there low frequencies melodicas, or is there any way to make melodicas sound lower?
