The Spirit of Reggae Cool beats, a happy-go-lucky attitude, and lyrics ranging from hanging in the sun to social commentary: Reggae is lyrically multilayered and surprisingly complex, but always laid back and a guarantee for good times. A part of the typical soundscape: the melodica. To reflect the relaxed attitude of musician and music alike, we redesigned the melodica to fit better into this scene. The result: the Airboard Rasta. A beautiful colorway and sturdy construction are combined with the sound of the classic melodica. Thanks to the airtight construction, the sound is crisp and voluminous, and the newly designed mouthpiece makes it incredibly comfortable to play. The Airboard Rasta is available with 32 and 37 keys.

The Small Beginner Especially for the smaller musician, it’s important that the instrument of choice isn’t too big – because if it is, it’s no fun to play it. And if it’s no fun, where’s the point? That’s why we developed the Student 26 melodica. It’s designed specifically for kids age 4+, and perfect as an introduction to more sophisticated melodicas or other instruments like piano key accordions.
The little beginner Especially for small musicians, it is important that the chosen instrument is not too large, because if it is, it is not fun to play it. And if it's not fun, what's the point?
