Suzuki Musical Instruments Melodica, red and blue (M-37C plus)

The m37’s with the short mouthpiece were out of stock so I ordered this one for my 9 yr old daughters Christmas. It has plenty of volume playing with other acoustic instruments. All keys were in tune. It has the look and feel of quality instrument. The included case is very nice and useful. The included long flexible mouthpiece is probably more comfortable than a short mouthpiece. This makes a great portable instrument for a piano player.

Been very softly using but it’s good, not yet broken in, we’ll see, I think it’s okay.

Gorgeous tone and gorgeous colorway.

I am assuming this melodica is tuned to A = 442HZ instead of 440HZ. It has a great sound and is in tune with itself but since 440HZ is the standard in the United States, it is painful to try to blend with a piano. I wish I had realized this before it was too late to return. Otherwise, it is a great instrument -- solid, well-made, etc.

I am overall satisfied with this melodica. It wouldn't have hurt to include a standard short mouthpiece, but the one included is better than the "hose" others come with. It's rare to find a melodica in perfect tune, but this one is pretty close. So far, so good I would add...
