Only around 600 were built before it was discontinued — it was simply too far ahead of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single oscillator with six tones voiced to emulate clarinet, brass, strings, oboe\/bassoon, flute and saxophone, further shaped by a bow-wow\/wah-wah button with three formant settings. Five octave settings give a total range of seven octaves, vibrato with wide speed and depth adjustment, and volume controlled subtly and expressively by breath pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in near-perfect condition - almost new old stock. It comes complete with its original sturdy wooden case, military-style metal power pack (110-240V), 5-pin Melodica-to-power-pack cable, mouthpiece, and both the operation and service manuals. The original 3-pole DIN audio output has been sensibly updated to a standard quarter-inch jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll sounds are bright and clear with no hum, all switches and functions work perfectly, and there's an occasional hint of grunge that, frankly, only adds to the charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial number 622263.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundgas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63776876691833,"sku":"622263","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7796\/8739\/files\/Hohner_Electra-Melodica_622412_622263.png?v=1781617741","url":"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/products\/hohner-electra-melodica-622263","provider":"Soundgas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
