Off the top of my head New Order & Joy Division, Bauhaus, Gang of Four, Depeche Mode, David Bowie and The Kinks used a Melodica in their songs. If it's good enough for them, it's good for me. Although I prefer them fitted with the tube. 😉 Augustus Pablo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, back to the guys on the left.. whats with the cuffs... and that waistcoat? I think the clothing needs to be addressed before we even start on the instruments.

I had two by then : ( pre- MIDI days )Aug 83 and Jan 84 The Roland SH 101 came with a removable lefthand grip and strap buttons so that it could double as a keytar . The player I always associate with the keytar is Herbie Hancock . Here he dons one during the bass solo , so Marcus quotes Herbie's own tune "Rockit " at him . - Playing jazz means PLAY - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one of those in 1983 before we upgraded to the KX5s (and patch memories). I hated the SH101 on a strap it was heavy and awkward, and the modulation grip wasn't that good (IIRC the pitch bend only went up if you use the grip control). Still it got some of the band out from behind our keyboards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
