Spectral Studios 3

Continuing our tour of strange and interesting ancient machines and instruments here in Spectral Studios, here is a Melodica, made in Germany by Hohner...... I picked this bad boy up at an estate sale a couple of years back. You blow into the mouthpiece at the top, and finger the notes on the piano-like keyboard. For me this instrument is most closely associated with Horace Swaby, aka Augustus Pablo (R.I.P.), who played it and featured it quite often on his many exceptional Dub Reggae albums.......peace!
