Suzuki S-32C Soprano Melodica, White

幼稚園の指定だったので買いました。(ほんとはヤマハが良かった。) 案の定、音程ダメダメ。1オクターブ離れたＣを同時に鳴らすとWOWOWって唸っちゃう。 どの音も似たようなもの。

First of all, this is a soprano instrument. So if you prefer playing tunes with lower notes, you need to get an alto or even a bass melodica. Playing a soprano melodica for the first time has been a very positive and inspiring experience to me. The Suzuki S-32 C outshines any of the Yamaha P's and Hohner B's in terms of craftmanship. Its body is partly wrapped in a kind of leather-imitate so it feels and it looks like a real instrument, and not like a kind of musical toy. My wife looked at it and said: Wow! Though the Yamaha P25 was my favorite despite its yellowish plastic looks because its responsiveness and loudness are awesome, the Suzuki blows my mind away with its flutish tones in the high registers. Every key responds fast and there are no flats. ZERO air leaks, a perfect tuning. I am able to play its keys faster than I was on every other melodica. It is more expensive compared with other 32 keys top brand melodicas, yes. But one gets what one pays for, right? So to say, it is absolutely worth the extra cost spent when one wants a top instrument. I play all kind of music, from Brubeck to Coldplay to Jeff Beck to Bugge Wesseltoft to Shostakowitsch to Dream Theater to Steve Miller to Pat Metheny, so my spectrum in music genres is quite open. I come from keyboards and harmonicas, so a melodica to me is the synthesis of using fingers and breath. Suzuki has done a great job here. I highly recommend this melodica to any person who values a musical instrument by high quality aspects, so to speak in Oscar Wilde's words: Only the best is good enough for me.

Enamorada de esta melódica ...sin duda este modelo no está en categoría de juguete....pues nada más abrir se percibe...su peso...su calidad...y su afinación...acompaño fotos...dónde se ven unas notas que yo he pegado con cinta plástica de dymo...aunque es más bonita sin ellas...es muy buena idea .. sobre todo para quien no sepa algo de escalas o un poco de teoría musical...he de decir que yo no soy profesional...pero tengo experiencia...con otros instrumentos de viento ....como ocarina y flauta....y cuando niña en el cole...en vez de flauta ...pedí melódica...obvio aquella era más bien un juguete...pero servía para aquella edad.... está es ya una melódica más potente....y en cuanto a las notas....fa Sol la si primeras...son notas de rango grave.....la siguiente escala...de do hasta si....es un tono medio....la siguiente de do a si...es un rango agudo....y la última nota es un do.... recontra agudo....es perfecta para tocar la mayoría de las melodías que gusten.....por otro lado las teclas negras son los sostenidos y bemoles....de las notas de abajo...y son estas....(Do#_Reb) (Re#_Mib)(Fa#_Solb)(Sol#_Lab)(La#_Sib)......la recomiendo mucho mucho....

I'm only a learner and the Suzuki s32 c soprano is very adequate apart from having to crouch over the instrument as the pipe is too short, also a bit overpriced, i recently bought an adults 6 geared push bike for less than £100 so that is how i compare prices,materials, workmanship etc.

This is a well made instrument. This keyboard produces a solid reed tone with very low click sounds. However, this should be marketed as a "sopranino" melodeon as the top octave goes way beyond all the other melodicas I own. The top 5 or so notes can sound "breathy". I'm going to buy one of their alto models. However, I'm very happy with this addition to my arsenal. I've been playing melodicas since 1983!
