Yamaha P37D Pianica Melodica Unboxing and First Try 

One thing I never see people demonstrate is articulation, ala trumpet and harmonica. You can do the trumpet tongue thing, you can do harmonica-style throat vibrato, and you can combine "key stopping" with "tongue stopping" to get a very specific attack on the notes. Just saying: human lungs (and throat and tongue) are more than just a compressor.

It’s not really spit, it’s moisture from your breath-breathe with your mouth really close to a table and it will start to accumulate.

U had the ultimate chance to call it “unboxing and first blow” and you blew it!

The Gregorian chant Dies Irae is used heavily in movies and music to represent death. You may not recognize it at first, but then you look up compilation videos on RU-vid. There are songs older than Auld Lang Syne in use today, but they usually aren’t united music and lyrics. The music could be written down somewhere and the lyrics somewhere else-the poem Auld Lang Syne was probably sung to a different tune long ago. And it’s not Middle English, it’s Scots dialect.

*"Snake thing..."* I love you 😂 Good review too, I was thinking about buying a good sounding melodica and this model came up when I was searching.

Yes. It's Greensleeves. The tune is a Romanesca and is about 600 years old and came from Italy.

Menarik. I can be play pianica after see your video. Thank you so much. See you

This is A Absoloutley Lovely RU-vid video mate I have A melodica just Like you.!

4:50 I would say Greensleaves. It was written by an anonymous composer in 1580. The melody for Auld Lang Syne is from early 1800s.

Dueling banjos!!!!

Greensleeves is traditionally considered to have been written by King Henry VIII, but I've read that there is no definitive proof of this. Another very old tune that's pretty well known today is Scarborough Fair, popularized by Simon & Garfunkle. Anyway, I recently got the P37D, and it is very nice. I am happy with it!

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest song still widely enough known. Peter Pringle did a video demonstrating it as well as other ancient music including the oldest known musical notation piece.

You should learn “And We Danced” by The Hooters

Aha! The Chainsmokers' "Closer" at 3:01.

Oldest song known by everyone? Star Spangled Banner? Thanks for shooting and sharing.

I'd say Happy Birthday.

be thou my vision

Maybe something like The Great Gates of Kiev? Btw. Just found you and you just got a new sub!

Is that a wurly just leaning against the wall? If so, awesome! You should find a place for it though! I feel bad for it there. Nice vid. I'm looking into one of these "pianicas" or "melodicas". I already got a wurly too hehe

Suena muy bien :)

Is there any shoulder belt of melodica available?

I'm gonna buy one. Endless fun. This model gets good reviews. They say it's less resistance if you play it to the face. You have to push harder when playing through the tube?

This is years gone by now, but for Auld Lang Syne, I'll mention that "syne" is not "song" in Scots; it is closer to "since". "The Old Long Song" is actually a completely different set of lyrics - not a translation. Auld Lang Syne is more properly interpreted as "the times we shared long ago"- implying "we've been through a lot, my friend". Great video.

Хороший и позитивный обзор ! Спасибо тебе большое ,друг :))

3:38 Up

now you play ‘sammy dead O’

Hey, I hope you'll see & answer my question! I just got my 2nd Melodica and I am just as unhappy with it as I am with the 1st one! I've had a Hohner Superforce and now a Walther. I'm now considering to spend more for this Yamaha if it works better. You didn't seem to have the struggle I have: Do the notes respond very diferently to the same air pressure? Because mine do - one note can be very sensitive while for example for the low C, I need 3x as much air as for the ones next to it. Ergo I can't play them silently + it happens all the time that the tones come way too late because I have to adjust my air. Did you notice that problem with your Yamaha too? Or with any other melodica, so you could compare it to the yamaha?

I'd say Wonderwall..

What's the volume like? I live with housemates and I'm sure they do not share my love of creating music. Will this be loud enough to disturb someone the next room over?

condensation is not spit

Check out religious anthem Bogurodzica in Wikipedia. Very old song, known and sang by medieval kings, knights and henchmen:)

Amazing grace?

Is this what they call the Death Grips?

hmm,awesome pianica,how much it's?I mean the cost,i want buy it to

These 2 vids inspired me to get the melodica: Weezer Blue Album played entirely on Melodica haha: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aw9JEIU9yf0.html and Cinema Paradiso's theme played on it (sounds really expressive): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XJZRejpGphk.html and thats how i ended up on your vid learning about the Melodica i just got (i was curious if that button was a split release or a 'vibrato button' haha [it does kinda do a vibrato when you press it fast hehe] )... Do you still have to open it up to clean out any moisture?

I think it's darude sandstorm.... lol

I was going to say twinkle twinkle little star

You think auld lang syne is the most known somg? Nearly every english speaker learns the alphabet song, written in 1835.

How much money dolars. ? PLEASE

It hurt my eyes how you store your wurli

Play fur elise

Names can not be copyrighted yamaha calls it that so they can stand out

Bohemian rhapsody

Mary has a little lamb

Clint Eastwood

I swear I would have thought you’re my uncle but he does graphic design and I’m scared

)))))

It’s Scottish 😎

Greensleeves 1580

Scots English not Middle English

nope, absolutely not. Oldest song..."happy birthday to you"!

뭐야시부러산노~~^^

It amazes me how people get off on listening to themselves talk. More playing, less talk.

I bought this exact melodica (same color even) from Amazon and it’s so far out of tune that it’s unplayable. Each octave is out of tune with each other octave. All chords are automatically out of tune, and forget about trying to play with someone else. Using my pederson tuner, each note shows that it’s off by between 25 and 50 cents of pitch. I saw so many good videos about this model, but it really is a piece of junk, and my friend’s $25 no-name melodica sounds world’s better. I’ve been mixing audio with a pair of yamaha monitors for 16 years now, I guess they take their electronics manufacturing far more seriously than their instrument manufacturing.
