| CAHAYA MELODICA Disclosure: I received free product for review purposes and all opinions expressed here are my own.
Have you ever played a melodica? I have heard of them but that was the extent of it. I took some piano lessons when I was younger so can play the piano a little, although I haven't for many years.. My daughter also took piano lessons and we gave her our electric piano when she moved into her own apartment.
Recently I had the pleasure to try out another neat product from CAHAYA which is the CAHAYA Melodica. The first thing I noticed about this instrument is that it does not require batteries or electricity, which was a bit of a surprise.
The melodica works with your own windpower! All you do is blow into the white tube and press the keys to play your own tune or song. There are 32 keys on the keyboard and you put a mouthpiece onto the tube to blow to make it work. That's it!
Below is a short video of me trying out the melodica and seeing how it works. I know I'm not good but it was fun playing with it and trying to remember a song I used to know.
The melodica is very lightweight so it's not heavy to carry around and play. Attached to the back of it is a white strap which you can put one hand under if you want to stand and play it. Or you can just place it on a table or flat surface and play it like a regular piano. It only weighs about a pound and a half.

The melodica could be used by older children or adult alike. It would be great for kids to learn on or just plain have fun. I wouldn't advise it for small children because of the mouthpieces that you attach to the white tube which could be a choking hazard.
In addition to the melodica you get a nice black nylon case to store it in when not in use to keep it clean and dust free. This makes it convenient to take it with you. I would say that the CAHAYA Melodica is a fun toy or beginner instrument.which is a neat little item!

When I was listening to the video of you playing it, I thought it sounded similar to an accordion too! I had a friend in elementary school who used to play the accordion with her brother. I've never seen a melodica before, but it looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen one before either, but had heard of them. I like that you don't need batteries or electricity so it's great to use any place.
