SUZUKIMelodica (M-37C)

Su sonido me encanta y desde que lo compré no paro de entonarlo. Me parece interesante la densibilidad que posee a la intensidad al aire y lo suave que puede ser. Buena relación costo-calidad.

My husband who was a jazz pianist had a stroke and is paralyzed on his left side the Melodica has kept him playing. He loves it. The quality of the instrument is excellent.

I like the sound and tone. Comes in a soft carrying case with straps. It's very fun to play and the keys feel good. I've not attempted to tune it but it seemed fine against a piano. Now if someone could tell me the proper way to clean out the hose and body of my spit and condensation...

Recently I have been trying to learn how to write and produce music. I'm 28 and played trumpet through high school and now casually play piano as an adult. I enjoy finding ideas and inspiration from nature and wanted to find an instrument I could easily lug around for camping and hiking trips. This is just about PERFECT. The melodica allows for quick access to melody and harmony. Some of the other instruments I considered (flute, ocarina, recorder) would have taken more effort to learn (given I know my way around a keyboard already) and also generally can't access harmony/chords.I chose this over the Yamaha P37D because it was marked down over 50% and seemed like a steal. I didn't do much research. I'm considering also acquiring the Yamaha because of the hard case. The hard case would make for better/safer packing while traveling or backpacking and I wish I could find a different case for this instrument rather than buying another one but no luck in initial searches.Only criticism I have is that some of the notes in the upper register are a bit airy. Instrument arrived w/ most notes tuned sharp but I have read that is likely intentional, but that said not all of the tuning was even. This is only notable when playing in accompaniment w/ piano.But I'm hooked on melodica now and am taking it with in a few days for a camping trip where I hope to write a melody or two :)

The instrument is brilliant—I love it—but it came with only two, not three, of the advertised mouthpieces. The trumpet mouthpiece was missing. Returning it would have been a nightmare...I live in Chile...so I kept it. I wonder if there isn't an easier way for the store to just send me the missing mouthpiece? Oh well...

I am having so much fun with this instrument! The reeds are tuned beautifully, the action of the keyboard is excellent, and the size of the keys are just right for my hands. Because it is a woodwind instrument, I can get emotion into the sound with vibrato, dynamics, tonguing, etc. Because it is a reed instrument worked with a keyboard, intonation is excellent. I spent all day playing accordion tunes, concertina tunes, harmonica tunes, and just plain songs that I like. And here's a bonus that I hadn't anticipated: I can play songs and keep the tone going EVEN WHEN I'm choked up or crying tears. Songs I would not be able to sing, because they are too emotional, sound wonderful on this instrument. Maybe it is a "toy" but boy, am I having fun playing with it.

Great sounding melodica. I did have to do some tuning, but it was easy enough. It's fun to play.

I started learning Melodica/Melodian a few months ago on a cheap Eastop Melodica from Amazon. It was fine for learning but as I started getting a bit more acclimated to the instrument, I decided I wanted a bit higher end Melodica with more keys. I decided to purchase this one as reviews alluded to this being the best Melodica for the price point. After playing this for a few weeks I would agree with what people say. This Melodica is well made and sounds incredible. I would highly recommend also purchasing an "S" type Susuki mouthpiece, however. Especially as a beginner, the "S" type mouthpiece let's you see the keys better while playing while being able to avoid using the goofy goose neck mouthpiece. I wish it came with one by default, but I was able to find one for a bout twenty bucks. Worth the investment. I would highly recommend this Melodica to anyone, no matter what skill level with the instrument.
