CAHAYA Melodica Instrument 32 Key FDA Approved Piano Style Portable with Double Plastic Flexible Long Pipe, Short Mouthpieces and Carrying Bag, CY0050-1

So easy and fun to play, it's really hight quality, it makes a good sound and it looks cool.

• Can play with mouth and hold in hand easily (like a Saxophone, comes with a mouth piece) or play flat and attach the blowing tube (like a Piano, comes with the appropriate attachments) • Great sound quality- makes a Harmonica sound as it’s supposed too (the difference being you can play chords like a piano) • Very neat, clean and solid- good quality build! • So much fun to play with, for all levels of musician • Good range of notes with about 3 octaves, 12 tone equal temperament and keyboard format • Only issue is the F# and G on the higher octave sometimes get caught when played holding the melodica in hand and blowing directly • Amazing value for money

The pitch of the one I received today is about A 443.4Hz. It is a pity it is not A440 Hz but at the price it is amazing that you get a playble set of 32 bright and loud sounding free reeds. It also works on a wind pressure of about 60mm water gauge when the wind inlet if fed from a tube taken off a small pipe organ. The key scale is of course smaller than that of a piano or organ. However this can make a short second manual to a one manual pipe organ set up. It is lot of fun

Would highly recommend this instrument. Very good quality. Light weight and an ideal size to carry about. It can be used on a table by using the included tubes. Comes with a padded carry case. I'm only just getting used to what keys are what and I would have liked the stickers that tell you what note is each key to be included. But is a fun way to learn keyboard skills

It's OK and plays well enough. But I find the keys are a bit small for my fingers. Also, I don't find it drains the moisture from my breath very well, which affects the sound quality. It's OK for a beginner's instrument. But I wouldn't recommend it for a serious or seasoned musician.

I cannot fault this instrument for what it is - an inexpensive, mass-produced product designed for lots of fun. In my original review, I faulted this melodica for being out of tune. Now that I have had more time with it and actually checked the tuning against a digital piano, it is not anywhere near so far out of tune as first stated. The apparent fault was more to do with the pitch of a Supertramp CD, Even in the Quietest Moments, which on comparison with the same piano used for checking the melodica, is actually the element that is out of tune; quite flat. Odd, but true. (I'd bought the melodica initially to play along with the title track, which features this instrument) So apologies to the manufacturer and to anyone who read the original comment. I have also amended the score from four to five stars.

Cool and my teacher hates it so it’s even better

Gave it as a gift. Recipient was very pleased and said it was an ideal gift for child. It was good that it came with additional blow flex.
