Location: GA USA | I've wanted a melodica for a long time. I had a friend who let me borrow one when I was a teenager and I enjoyed it. Anybody melodicate? I'm thinking about a Hohner 901 Alto, but waiting for one that's not $90. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | When my kids get a little older, and can understand that it's not actually a toddler's trampoline, I want to get a NICE bodhran. Of course, then I have to learn how to play it. :rolleyes: |

Location: GA USA | Waskel, I was at my bro-in-law's house the other day and I was changing in a spare bedroom. He had a beautiful old dulcimer on a shelf that I'd never seen. It belonged to his dad, recently deceased. Doesn't play it! Too bad. |

Location: Wichita, KS | A melodica! Now there's something I haven't thought of in almost 40 years. I appropriated one from my brother (for some reason, we had two of them). Never played it seriously, but learned "Suicide is Painless" and a couple of Christmas carols. I wish I knew what happened to them. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Way cool, Wabbit. Whoopie Goldberg has a hammer dulcimer set-up next to he toilet in her house.
She sez that she always wanted to learn how to play one, and it gives her something else to do while she is there...
[You learn all kinds of stuff watching "This Old House"]
I want one of these... A Glass Armonica.
I don't know how to play one of these either! :cool: |

Location: GA USA | Okay, so I got another guitar and a new uke first, but the melodica is on the way. Look for me to be making some extra-annoying sounds at SSSJ.
Next up, a Snoopy Jaw Harp. I had one in college, a real quality instrument.

Location: Jet City | There's a duo that plays at one of the places I do and one of them plays the melodica (the other a guitar).
They do all Simon and Garfunkle and Beatles tunes. Their name???
