Harmonette

A rare early-20th century free-reed instrument of a family called “Blow Accordions” which were early versions of the Melodica. It sounds similar to a Melodica or Harmonica, and is especially great for creating nice rich chordal textures! Initially only available as a limited-time Christmas gift, now free for all to enjoy.

Is there a 12-step program for “sampling-random-stuff-aholics”? Let us know if you’re aware of such a group (we’ll bring Peaslee and the gang along with us)… but until then, we’ll keep capturing these random, beautiful specimens of sound.
The Harmonette is a rare antique instrument that we found in an antique shop, and we’ve never seen one like it before! After some digging we found out that it comes from an early-20th century family of instruments called “Blow Accordions” which were primarily made in Europe and widely meant as toys. So what are you waiting for!? Grab this instrument and make some music!

Standout Features

A Rare Antique
The Mouth Accordion was produced in the early-20th century around parts of Europe. As the precursor to the popular Melodica, it’s a reed organ aerophone that features a single reed per note and is played by blowing air through the top just like a recorder.
Modeled Vibrato & Dynamics
Dynamics can seamlessly sweep between quiet and loud thanks to the modeled dynamics engine, and the same goes for the modeled vibrato which allows you to add a wide range of expression with this simple yet effective instrument.
Looped Sustains
We processed the samples so that notes will last forever until you release them, and when you do, you’ll hear a real release performance.
