We're serious about melodicas. When we noticed manufacturers letting their quality slip by producing poorly responding, out-of-tune instruments with "spongey" keys, while at the same time raising their prices, we knew the door was opened for a more affordable, consistently better quality melodica. We created our Melodyman line to be as responsive and easy to play as it is easy to afford! Our MM37 is the BIG boy in the USA melodica market with 37 keys starting at "F" below middle "C" and going up a full 3 octaves! Ideal for professional musicians and teachers! Left hand strap located underneath instrument. Complete with a deluxe, padded black cordura carrying case with zipper closure and adjustable shoulder strap, a mouthpiece, and a flexible air tube for hands-free, table top play. You can purchase any replacement parts like reed plates, keys, mouthpieces, and air tubes for your Melodyman Melodica by calling 740-262-9882. This would be a great beginner melodica and is at a great price.
