Yet for all their talent the received the gong on The Gong Show. And what’s even worse, The Celebrities referred to the melodica as a toy! Thankfully this site is slowly overcoming that notion.

Got around to pulling out my Susuki today and found that both the perfornmer and student had mouthpieces that were compatible with the M37C. Good Playing !

So glad to hear you got an M37C. It is a fabulous instrument with beautiful tone.

I think Alan is on the right track. If you like the sound of the wood shell, you should fit a 32 key into it. and the spit valve on the end like the good suzuki could be adapted.

I’m sure you didn’t mean any harm when you termed the Hohner “CHEEPISH” but as a very loyal Hohner buyer I’d like to insert a note of praise. All the economical melodicas have their place. Any starter instrument that captures a player with the passion for melodica is great! I hope we aren’t discouraging anyone by sounding like elitist who…[Read more]

Got a deal yesterday for the melodyhorn. I had passed the first one to a friend and then really missed it. So this instrument looked slightly abused and dirty — mainly the case — and the shipping seemed very high. But after three tries, and no one showing much interesst in it, the seller finally accepted my slightly increased “make…[Read more]

Welcome to our new members. We hope you will enjoy our site. To clifflesson, I ENJOYED your Tango video very much. How do you like your Hammond?

Watched some You Tube videos on Janko keys. Couldn’t envision this type of change before. As an experienced Keyboard player I think this would be hard for me.

Just got delivery on my Artist Ltd. 25 Pianicas. One note out but the A flat below middle C I won’t miss much. Otherwise really great tone … Almost like a saxaphone in the lower notes.
I’d rate these tops in quality.

Olivier, the color we’ve been talking about is the case. But yes, colored keys are becoming more common as well. In the Hohner line the editions are called Fire and Ocean. There are copies in the DeLuca line and some other generics.

Julie c. — I have played melodica most of my life. Like you, I like black the best and find it alwways adds some sense of seriousness to the melodica. I have spent nearly the last year trying out melodicas and passing many along to friends just wanting to have some firsthand knowledge about them.
I never saw the black M32 until Alan sent us…[Read more]

Today is the first look that I’ve had at the black M32. It isn’t shown on You Tube videos on the Suzuki line. It has beautiful features much like the M37. Thanks, Alan.

The melodica madmen is on the loose again. I bid into an auction (MAKE OFFER) and won a pair of Artist Ltd. 25 key Pianicas. The seller has assured me that all keys work. You all have said so many good things about the small melodicas that I’d be a fool to pass them up.

Welcome Tyely. The vintage Yamaha models are very much sought after for build quality and performance. Usually they are very easy to service. Are all of the notes on your Pianica currently playable and in tune? I am sure in time you will hear from Alan. He is very experienced and knowledgable about vintage Yamahas.

The opening for the mouthpiece is very much the same. Would you be happier with the trumpet style mouthpiece. It comes with the M37C. You can but it by itself on Ebay. I don’t know of any of the better 32’s that are in black. The Suzuki is medium blue — but very stylish. Not at all like a toy.
