Apparently it's actually called a 'blow keyboard'

 

This place doesn't seem to sell them anymore

Angel music

What the????? :confused:

Really??? I have never seen one of those,how does it work??

well....the button are like at a piano....and you have to blow in it otherwise it won't work.....and you can play more tones at one time!

Oh well that's a new one,i guess it has an advantage that it does not need any batteries,but apart from that,what use is it??? :laugh1:

What use?

You can make music with it!

I meant why would you use on of those when you can use a proper keyboard etc.........

The piano keys are weighted (I don't know if these keys are weighted but you get the idea) so you can already put in emotion by playing louder or softer, short or long, and if you combine that with air, you'll get some really different sounds. It may not be popular but you can give a tune something different with effects like these...

I would call it a melodica, but maybe that's only German! ;)

thanx for this! :D im gonna get one of these! :P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodica :nice:

 

If you know R.E.M.'s 'Boy In The Well' - it includes a melodica-solo! (@ 2:45 min)

 

Sounds pretty nice :)

It sounds totally different to a keyboard....
