I actually play a bit of melodica. I'm a huge dub, Augustus Pablo fan. I have a nice Hohner from the 70's. My dog is named Augustus too.

Melodica's a fun instrument. I've gone through quite a few because I keep buying them for myself, then donating them to keyboard players, only to have them keep them!

Nothing gives you that nice mid seventies roots sound like a melodica solo thrown down the well...

Burn- I'm sure you've seen you can find a wide variety on Ebay these days, vintage and new. I saw an Excaliber brand recently with a 1/4" jack built in. It looks nice, but pricey. I got my most recent one on Ebay. It sounds much better than the deluxe Hohner (2 1/2 octave) one stolen by the crappy percussionist we kicked out of the band.
"Thrown down the well." I never heard that one, but my guess is it means dripping wet with reverb! I dig it!
