A New Sound is a Breath Away
The Hammond 44 is the finest, most deluxe and most versatile Melodion
(Keyboard Harmonica) ever produced. Designed in collaboration with
leading Harmonica manufacturer Suzuki Musical Inst. Mfg. Co., Ltd.
the Hammond 44 offers many unique features that will compliment all
facets of music. Pops, Jazz, Roots, Rock, Country, Blues, Latin, Reggae,
World/Ethnic and Folk; the Hammond 44 is perfect for all of these genres.
The Hammond 44 is the first Melodion that incorporates a built-in
Dynamic Microphone (Patent Pending) which creates less mechanical
noise compared to an external microphone and an exceptional
clear reed sound with H.D. Quality Sound reproduction. This
unique microphone creates a very warm and deep sound that
can’t be matched by an external microphone.
The Hammond 44 incorporates the first 44 note piano style keyboard on
a Melodion instrument. The lowest keyboard note is c and ends at g*,
This wider range keyboard is especially useful when playing the Acoustic/Electric Melodion
in a solo performance.
The keyboard has a slightly shallow key stroke compared to other keyboard products. This
aids the musician when fast fingering or glissandos are required.
There are three types of mouthpieces included with the Hammond 44. With the Short
mouthpiece and hand-strap, you can play the Hammond 44 upright like a trumpet, or
use the Flexible mouthpiece to hold the 44 at arm’s length, sling the 44 on like a guitar
(with a guitar strap and the included strap buttons). Using the L Joint long mouthpiece
you can play it as a table-top instrument, with the option of putting it on top of your
organ, piano or synth. The non-skid feet steady the 44 in the last application.
