Yibuy 27 Keys Melodica Mouth Organ Wind Piano QM27A Black White Keyboard for Kids

Pros: - pleasant harmonica-like sound - keyboard has 2 octaves + 2 more notes - all keys are notated in 3 ways: scientific, Italian and numerical - you can play chords here (easily), just press multiple keys at once - you can vary loudness and loud blowing doesn't affect the pitch - mouthpiece is detachable/washable Cons: - tuning is very far from perfect, first half of the keyboard has some flat notes (-10..20 cents), in the second half almost every note is overly sharp (+15...20 cents) - it is not comfortable to hold it, attached strap doesn't help at all, the most comfortable grip is when you hold the bell with one hand - black keys feel tighter compared to the white keys (due to shorter lever but same springs probably), all keys are tight overall so you need to hold it firmly to prevent rotation when playing - instrument has some dirt and scratches and two rather big irrelevant stickers (in Chinese)

A bit high pitched but to be expected, very fun to play

I keep this by my Lazy Boy. Ehen TV is boring I pick it up and play for an hour or so. Surprisingly, this was well tuned - some are slightly out of tune. I'm almost 90 and so I run out of breath when I try to play 3 notes at once, two suit me. I listen to Utube and learn a lot of new melodies. I don't read music, so I do a lot of hunt and peck. I began learning how to play accordion when I turned 80, but now the weight hurts my shoulder. This is just what I want. Not too cheap and not too expensive. I know you will have as much fun as I do.

見た目インパクト、音のキレ、そして安さ！一般的な鍵ハモより吹く力がいらないので強弱が付けやすく表情豊かに吹けます。 こんな安さでここまでできるなら大満足！ 大変面白い楽器です！ 箱から出して1分でうろ覚えで吹いてもこのくらいは吹けます。

I’ve been very happy with the quality of this melodica. It plays well and has been easy for my 4-year-old child to pick up and make a good sound come out of it. Earlier I had purchased a piano horn from another brand that unfortunately had the holes drilled in the wrong place or something and the notes were not in scale order but instead played in random order when played in a row. That incorrect other one was very confusing for my child who is just starting to take an interest in musical instruments, which was unfortunate. So I returned that one for a refund and purchased this one instead. I’m glad I did.
