The Melodica is so easy to play that many educators use it for teaching the rudiments of harmony, chord formation, theory, and for choral work. You can play chords and single notes, sharps and flats just like a piano, but within a smaller range.

 "Not a bad budget instument." 2009-07-20
By Shaun P. (MN, United States)
I'm not a real musician, I'm just sort of a hobbyist and for someone like me this thing is perfect. It's inexpensive but it still has a nice sound, and is pretty solid. The only issue I had was a few keys being mildly out of tune, but it's not terribly out of tune, and it's something I could fix if I was motivated enough to. Of course, if you are serious about music you could buy a more expensive one, but if you are learning or just like to dabble I think this is great.

 "Servicable budget melodica, some adjustment required." 2008-09-17
By G. W. Schumacher (New York City)
This melodica is nice because it's cheaper than Hohner's fancy professional models. And you don't lose much, it seems: it sounds like a melodica should sound, and it can be played with a reasonable degree of musicality, even by a novice like myself. The instrument comes with a little gig bag and two mouthpieces (a short one and a flexi-tube one). The construction and materials are of acceptable quality, I have no complaints.



Those of us with finicky ears are going to want to have this thing tuned, though. Music stores dealing in folk instruments ought to be able to do this, for a fee, or one can find DIY tuning instructions on the internet. Although the instrument is *mostly* in tune with itself, it will almost certainly need to be adjusted in order to play along with other chromatic instruments, or your Gang of Four records, or whatever. All that said, this would be a good instrument for the amateur musician or student to learn on. I keep it around for doodling and songwriting, and I use it on a home recording every now and then (whenever I feel like spending my time doing post-production pitch correction).



One final (miscellaneous) note: the sonic frequencies produced by this melodica are apparently unpleasant for cats to hear: mine get agitated and start to complain when I play it for them. I don't know if it's melodicas in general or just this one, but they don't like it. Anyone have any insight into this?
