[MusicTlk] melodica question

[Ella Yu]

A melodica looks very different from a harmonica.  It's a wind 
instrument, but you press keys on a piano-style keyboard to play 
the different notes.  What Robert says makes sense, but is not 
true.  The melodica is just a relatively unknown instrument, I 
guess.

Hi,
 For those of us that do not know what a melodica is, could you 
give a quick
description  pleas?

I am guessing that it would be something like a harmonica.
I suppose a harmonica is for harmony and a melodica is for 
melody.
But that is just a wild guess based on the sounds of the two 
words.
Thanks
Robert

Hi,

I purchased a melodica recently and it came with a mouthpiece, 
which I
understand, but it also came with this long tube with a 
mouthpiece at the
end.  What is that extended tube for?

Thanks,

Lauren
