The melodica is a fascinating wind instrument, easy to learn and powerfully expressive. Played like a piano. It is so compact that you can take it with you anywhere. Producing single notes or chords, the melodica is both a solo and orchestral instrument, blending beautifully with other instruments. Whatever the music you like-from classical to rock- the melodica will add its own personality, a unique and captivating sound.

Perfetta come qualità e suono: è molto facile produrre più di un suono contemporaneamente usando la stessa pressione di una nota sola. Ottima come strumento sia per principianti che per professionisti

This performs just fine! We like the quality, sound, and tone - and especially the case that it comes with, along with two choices of mouthpieces.Instructions are nil - but we know what to do including finding the 'spit valve' - from reading other Reviews!

Was not impressed with this at all.The case it comes in and the looks of the instrument is pretty nice. That's about all i can say for it.The hand strap broke instantly. I opened it up to see if it was just a screw that fell out and the plastic that the screw was screwed into is what snapped off. The plastic casing feels like you can break it with no real force at all. It's incredibly thin and flimsy. I can see a small drop from your lap completely ruining this thing. It also had a key that was vibrating and making a terrible sound almost as if the reed wasn't fully attached. Sounded like metal vibrating on plastic. Honestly I didn't bother to look to much into that issue as i already decided to send it back because of the strap thing.Now, I'm sure i could have fixed all of this but for this price point it wasn't acceptable. I have a 30 dollar Melodica i bought for my GF and it feels WAY more sturdy than this thing and out of the box, sounds much better. This was my first experience with Hohner and I'm not impressed at all.I may have got a dud but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

So my grandkids were each given a Melodica (thru Amazon) for Christmas. But how do you play it??? They play the piano so the Melodica will not be so difficult, right? This is such a wonderful instrument -- one I had never heard of before. I also purchase music (through amazon) so I think my grandkids will catch onto this instrument quickly. And, they can carry it anywhere -- certainly can't do that with a piano. Clean, pretty, simple to use. When the kids' air runs out (from blowing on it), it goes back into the quality case until the next day. There are some wonderful Youtube videos showing how to use these. I'm eagerly awaiting my next concert.

I was expecting something that was only moderately playable, but ended up pleasantly surprised.The keys are not too small for average adult hands. I was surprized to see the option to play it with BOTH hands (by way of the longer mouth piece) ... and so far, I have been playing it exclusively in that manner.I examined the chromatic scale... and found the (*relative) tuning 100% satisfactory.The only issue I've experienced so far is that some chords do not sound clearly (where the individual notes otherwise are very clear). I believe, however, this is a function of the physics of the instrument... and is not due to any bad design.* I have not checked tuning against any 'absolute' standards, like A-440. Something to save for a rainy day.

I saw some complaints about tonality with this melodica, but I didn't experience this at all. I'm a seasoned musician with a pretty good ear and I can't see any problems with tuning. Seems fine. I guess that some leave the factory with issues.This is a nice product but it is a bit on the cheap side. All parts are basic plastic (except the actual reeds I guess).The melodica plays nicely. I can play solos and chords although if you don't have strong lungs the chords are more difficult, but still doable - even four + notes at the same time.It comes with the short mouthpiece which you can rotate. This is cool because you can play it at a variety of angles. It also comes with the typical melodica pipe. I also liked the hand strap on the underside of the instrument.There's also a valve to let moisture out.The case is a nice touch too although it's very compact so no space for other equipment. I say this because i've seen other melodicas that come with cases that have some extra space. This is obviously a minor detail.All in all the product seems to fit the price. You can have fun with it and see if you enjoy the melodica experience in the first place before buying a better one. If you already own a melodica, then you should probably aim for something better since this is an entry-level one in my opinion.If you care about looks then this one has lots of appeal. People respond to the color scheme.
