 "Great-- especially for whistle/recorder/flute players!" 2007-12-28
By Constant Reader (Tucson, AZ)
Last year I bought a piano-keyboard melodica, which I liked, but, as someone much more comfortable playing Irish flute, tin whistle, recorder, and sax, I found it a bit of a challenge. What I really wanted was to be able to hold the keyboard like a whistle/recorder and use both hands to play the keys. But with the style melodica I had this was very difficult. Then I discovered these small-key Hohner models (alto and soprano)! I love them. They may indeed require some adjustment for traditional keyboard players, but for those who come from blown-instrument backgrounds they are extremely easy to adapt to and offer a great new world of sound. I really love the fact you can play multiple notes at once-- something that just can't be done on the flutes/whistles. You really can make great music on these models (I love playing Celtic music on them)-- but if you want to play them like a piano you'd probably be happier with one of the full-sized key models that you can finger in just the same way. For everyone else, I'd actually recommend these models over those with the larger keys.

 "A sweet instrument" 2007-10-22
By Sue Tong
I must say that I disagree with those who say that this melodica is useless. I have been a professional saxophone player for the last two years and have been playing saxophone ever since the six grade. I played piano when I was a kid but never really got anywhere because saxophone is my true passion. When I saw this melodica it was like a dream come true. It was small, out of the way and easy to travel with and it came with all the perks, a cool jazzy sound, similarities to the saxophone so I can learn quickly and overall good quality. Because I am a saxophone player I can tell you that with practice you can achieve a lot of fingering fluidity and if you already are a sax player then more power to you. It's rich sound and jazzy feel are only the beggining of boundries you can reach and cross with this great instrument. You'll love it!

 "small melodicas rule!" 2007-06-30
By augustus
I must also disagree with every review that disses the small keyed melodicas. Like anything new you have to get used to it, and once you are comfortable on the small melodicas you can really shread. As one reviewer stated, you can play basslines and melodies and comp chords all at the same time by having both hands playing at the same time on opposite sides. If you just want to play single line melodies on piano like keys get the other style melodicas. If you want to be able to accompany yourself and play many more notes at once (you have greater polyphony because each reed is smaller, on the bigger melodicas you quickly run out of air playing even just diads) go for a 900 or 901.

 "It's not a keyboard instrument." 2007-01-12
By Matthew D. Deming (Charleston, WV USA)
Hohner makes two very different types of instruments, both called Melodicas, and people who confuse the two types are unhappy. The so-called "piano" style IS a keyboard instrument with wind power, making it a cousin of the accordion or organ, while the 900/901-style is, in fact, a wind instrument with keys, perhaps closer to a keyed recorder or other woodwind.

For a traditional keyboard player, the 901 alto could be almost as uncomfortable as trying to play a saxophone like a piano, while someone coming from a woodwind background would find the transition much easier. My suggestion: Those who are committed to their keyboard technique should buy the piano-26, piano-32, or similar model, while realizing that the 900-series requires a woodwind-like fingering technique for mastery.

 "red and green hohner melodicas" 2006-11-19
By Dr. Rob
I have to strongly disagree with the previous reviews of this melodica. I believe that the button styling of the red and green versions hohner melodicas have the best design a melodica can have. Obviously, it doesnt feel exactly the same as a normal keyboard, but to the extent that it shouldnt matter to a real musician. The thing i like about the button layout, is that its accessable from both sides, therefore both hands, unlike any other melodica. And no, you don't have to just play the black keys with your left hand, the white with right, its easy to reach all the keys from either side. It allows you to more fully immerse yourself in the musical expirience, keeping a rythym with one hand while soloing around with the other, or keeping a nice rythym with both hands, or even doing some bass riffs with one hand and messin around with the other. I highly recommend the button style melodica to the adventurous musician. What's the fun in one handed playing?

 "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?

 "Excellent Instrument" 2005-08-27
By John T. O'Connor (Ohio)
Although small, and rather high pitched, this is an excellent instrument for a pianist or keyboard player without a piano or large keyboard. The sound is similar to a chromatic harmonica, and you can even bend notes like the harmonica. Good for blues, jazz or any melodies. You can play chords, and harmonies, but it does muddy the sound. For those who plan to actually use the instrument to play in public, though, you may want to get the 36 key melodica, or perhaps even the 37 key melodica from another company for the extra range.
