Cool!

I have a Hohner Alto Melodica which must be 40 years old or thereabouts. My folks used it when they ran kids choir camps in the '60s because they couldn't drag a piano around with them and piano was their instrument of choice, though Dad would get out the autoharp occassionally. The original case is a bit beat up but it's honest wear. I was very surprised it still existed when my mother offered it to me recently. It doesn't play very well, a bit off pitch and a few notes don't want to sound, but I suspect it's fixable if I take a good look at it, though the pitch issue might remain.

As a camp or travel instrument it's pretty cool, and does the pitch-pipe thing too.

I wonder if the accordian and concertina repair people see these things at all.

Peace, Mooh.
