I was watching a youtube video and saw a piano like instrument that was new to me, and have had a hard time identifying what it was. I loved the timbre and the idea for it:
Eric Clapton Live Performance of Somewhere over the Rainbow at 2:22
I did looking around, and found something called a "melodica". It seems similar, but there are differences:
- Melodica has less range.
- It is higher pitched.
- Melodica has a brighter sound, but I like the dark sound of the instrument in the video.
- The mouth piece seems different.
Can anyone identify the instrument by name or possibly by a reference to somewhere it is sold? (I'm not asking for advertising, but if it is the only way to identify something then it is still much appreciated.)
Also the name of the performer might be useful too, since I can find other videos of him playing the instrument.
I also noticed that in the last few seconds of the video, he is playing without the mouth piece in. Perhaps it is not an "instrument" so much as an accessory for a keyboard? I don't know. Thanks for any help.
