Vangoa 37 Key Melodica Musical Instrument Soprano Melodica Air Piano Keyboard with Carrying Bag, 2 Mouthpieces, Wipe Cloth, Key Stickers, Blue

When I bought it, I expected to get some meh quality sound out of it, as its price might suggest. But I got a proper, nice sounding instrument, as it should sound like a cross between an accordion and a harmonica. I enjoy playing instruments, but am unfortunately bad at most. Being okay at the piano, this is a great thing to play along when you are jamming out to some music (jazz video game covers are my personal favourite for this). Super easy to play and learn, great sound, good durability, and great value. The only downside is that the highest two notes are noticeably off key, but all things considered, I don't mind.

I am tone deaf and not especially musical, but the girl in Your Lie in April played a melodica and it seemed perfect for me to have fun with, and it's true. I can't play things more complex than Silent Night, but I'm beginning to understand what happens when I put my fingers on certain keys, and how progressions are constructed. Probably a better starter instrument than a recorder.Not a real instrument, of course. It's heavy-duty plastic, much sturdier than the word "plastic" implies, but it's still a plastic instrument. If you get one thinking you'll have some fun, you'll probably be right.

I like the sound I get out of it, and I enjoy it as an instrument that’s like a keyboard, but easier to play due to the smaller range. Some of the notes are slightly out of tune, which doesn’t bother me immensely, since it’s a cheap instrument, but other than that it’s a genuinely good product. It’s also a good product for children since it’s so easy to use, and if they want to play a wind instrument at some point in their life, it can teach them about breath control and embouchure. As a trombone player, I’m pretty good with both of those things, but I enjoy this instrument for its price and quality. Frankly, I think any musician would enjoy this instrument.

I had no problem with the bag. Once I got my Melodica, it rarely spends time in the bag. It is perfectly in tune with other instruments and after buying and trying this one, I ordered another so my friend and I can sit around and play duets, or accompany singers, and even play in a marching band (it's loud and high pitched enough to be heard over the noisy brass and drums!) You can't see it in the photos very well, but each white key has an embossed number, starting with 1 on C, 2 on D and so on, as well as solfegio (Do Re Mi) embossed markings. By holding the Melodica with the bottom on your lap or on a chair, you can play with both hands, left on the black keys, right on the white keys. Or lay it down on a table and play with both hands from the right side as if it is a tiny piano (using the hose for air - which, by the way, can be extended if necessary. But I soon got used to holding it with my left hand in the strap and playing with my right hand while looking down the keyboard at an angle - it's not that hard, just a new perspective to viewing a keyboard. No one ever mentions the spit valve, but there is one for when moisture from your breath builds up inside and has to be released. If you're a lap player, rest the bottom of the instrument on an absorbent pad, like a cloth pot holder.

VERY WELL MADE FOR THE PRICE! What a fun little Melodica! I only bought just to have fun tootling around, but this thing is so well made and sounds awesome! It keeps me entertained for hours. Totally recommend!

This is my first melodica so maybe take my review with a grain of salt...I friggin' love this thing, I am only now getting interested in piano because of this thing. I have played some tunes in this thing and it's spectacular! Both attachments are fully functional, though I do worry for the tubing (but i'm extra careful). I love the sound!

It works as advertised. There are however a few downfalls. First is that it is not in tune at all which is kind of what I expected for a low cost melodica. It can be tuned, it's just a hassl. The second problem is that the air hose leaks water every now and then which is really no big deal. It is still a fun tool though and I would recommend it at this price point.

Came with both long and short mouth piece as well as a instruction notebook that had the English translations from Japanese. The melodica its self is well made and sturdy and the added feature of a spit valve is awesome. Each white key is number and has solfeg on it. Middle C is also marked. Perfect fun little instrument for both experienced players and beginners. I highly recommend buying this one.
