In this price range you aren't going to find a better melodica. Great instrument to learn on or to have around to add spice to your home recordings. It doesn't come with any instructions, but all you do is insert one of the two included mouth pieces. One is short, one is long. With the short one you hold the instrument with one hand (slide your hand under the strap) and play with the other. With the long bendy straw mouthpiece you can set the melodica on a table and play it like a small keyboard. Good sound and easy to play. Have fun.

By D. C. Froburg
So the 32-key Hohner Student Melodica, is not the best or most expensive melodica out there. However, for the price I paid, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of construction. The instrument came in perfect pitch, contrary to a lot of other reviews saying that the C was sharp.
Out of the box I was playing along with the band, no problems, except my limited lung capacity! (Chords are tough to sustain unless you are in great aerobic shape.) Also, mine came with a carrying case, which is awesome, it holds the hose attachment nicely, and gives the protection you would expect from a soft gig bag.
So you could spend upwards of $500 for a real professional quality melodica if you are seriously into it, or play for a living, but if you are just curious, or want to add a nice sound to your repertoire, get the student version, its a great combination of quality and price.

I was pleased with the timbre of the instrument and the action of the keys, but about 1/3 of the keys were noticeably out of tune. (I used a chromatic violin tuner to test the pitch of every reed) This wouldn't have been an issue if the instrument was in decent relative tune with itself, but the some notes were right on the correct pitch while others differed as much as 30 cents from the correct pitch. That being said, it isn't impossible to tune melodicas, just very laborious. Everything else about the instrument, case, and accessories was satisfactory.
