The melodica or melodyhorn is an ideal portable instrument for the budding musician who can't bear to leave the house without an instrument!

It is a reeded instrument similar to an accordion or harmonica, but can be used to play a wide variety of music as it is chromatic.

Melodicas are unique as they can be handheld and played just like a woodwind instument or some can also be placed on a table and played just like a keyboard.
