Product Experience I own it
Closest Store Richmond, British Columbia
I've never before written a review after one day of ownership. But I can supply some information about this instrument that may be useful.
Its reeds are all in tune. About 10 cents sharp with soft blowing, going to about 10 cents flat with really strong blowing.
The tone is louder and brighter (more harmonics) than a Suzuki Bluesmaster and Lee Oscar harmonica I own.
The lowest notes take more breath pressure to start than the rest of the range. (I think this is standard behaviour for a melodica.) Once the reeds start, they're reasonably consistent across the range.
The keys are softly sprung, I can hold it with my left hand underneath, supported by my forearm, and use my right hand clear across the keyboard.
The keys are much smaller and narrower than piano keys, and slightly narrower than my microKorg's mini-keys. (Melodion C-to-B octave is 13.2 cm). It's an easy transition.
There are _many_ YouTube instructional videos. But for anyone with experience with a wind instrument, and any keyboard skills, it's "pick it up and make music." It's way out of the "toy instrument " class. I expect to use it in an "acoustic-only" chant session in a few days. Practice, practice, practice.
