i emailed the HohnerUSA customer service department three times, including the individual over that department. No reply at all!

This does NOT work with the Hohner Melodically Piano 36. This particular tube device would have been ideal, but the male connector on the end of the tube is the same circumference as the female receptor on the instrument. I tried "jimmying" with it unsuccessfully. Alas, I won't give up my search for something that works!

Fits my Hohner Airboard perfectly

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015

I have a Hohner Airboard 37-key model (http://us.playhohner.com/instruments/airboard/) which comes with an adjustable gooseneck mouthpiece. However, I wanted to get a longer, flexible tube to allow me to play with two hands or while holding the melodica itself lower down at my waist.

Both mouthpieces included here arrived safely, fit my melodica and give a good sound with no leakage. The tubing is a nice length for comfortable play without being too long as to add any kind of delay when playing.

One slight worry I have is the apparent looseness - while they fit snugly into the instrument without any leakage, they don't seem to take too much effort to pull out. In a live scenario, I can see myself securing them a little more with some tape or blue tac, just in case.

I have a Hohner Professional 36 Melodica. My husband found a way to adapt the 20.9 Length Plastic Flexible Melodica Pianica to it. It works great!

Solves one problem, cause a problem too

I had only one problem with the Melodeon, that it's hard to play and see the notes at the same time because the mouthpiece it comes with is small. This mouthpiece totally eliminates that problem and adds another. That is, because it's a flexible hose, it doesn't hold itself up and you ahve to use your teeth to hold it in your mouth. I find that wearying and actually haven't used it since I had dental surgery a couple of weeks ago. Whenh I go back to it, I'll probably switch back and forth between mouthpieces.

This mouthpiece is so much more comfortable than the one that came with my melodica

This mouthpiece is so much more comfortable than the one that came with my melodica. I love this because I can play for a much longer time without being tired trying to hold the mouth piece in place. It's a bargain at this price too.

The tube size is standard for most or all melodicas. It is less flexible than most, comparable to the tubes that come with Yamaha pianicas -- excellent melodicas but with inferior tubes that are too stiff. The melodica end fitting and the mouthpiece are too large for Yamahas and have too loose a fit for Suzuki and Hammond melodions. So, unfortunately I can't recommend this unless you're desperate for a tube and can't afford to pay the ridiculous price of $15 or more that other vendors charge. I have experimented with other kinds of tubing without much success. You can get a fit and great flexibility with latex surgical tubing (which stretches for your fittings and can be used as a tourniquet if you need to perform first aid while playing your melodica), but condensation in the latex tubing can reduce your playing to a gurgle. I'd provide a video of this but am afraid it would get flagged.

Chinesische Kopie - passt nicht zur Melodica!!!

Wie so oft, haben auch hier die chinesischen Kopierkünstler versucht, ein Ersatzteil zu kopieren. Leider hat man vergessen, den Durchmesser für das Schlauchstück zu messen. Es passt nicht in die Melodica! Leider muss man einen Stern vergeben - verdient hätte dieser Murks nicht einmal einen! Kann nur raten: Hände weg!
