So... I ordered a Melodica

My melodica (the same model as this guy is playing Amelie-like music with in this video) should be showing up within a few days.

Got it brand new off of eBay for less than $50! Pretty sweet. I'm excited about that. I have a concertina and a set of harmonicas, and I love that accordion/harmonica reed sound, but each instrument sounds a little different even when they use the same reeds. The melodica will allow me to play notes like a piano (instead of the C/G button format of the concertina) and will be much simpler to play (and more compact to store or carry) than an accordion would be. Plus, concertina and most accordions are diatonic, so they play a different note when squeezing in than they do when pulling out. I would also love to have a harmonium, but I figure this melodica will suffice (harmonium is much more expensive and bigger -- if you don't know what that is, it's the instrument from Punch Drunk Love; sort of like a cross between a small piano/organ and an accordion)
