It is giving me what I wanted. If I become more proficient in playing it, I might spring for a larger or differently voiced model, but am happy with this one for the time being.
Sound
I really have no comparison to tell whether or not this particular melodica has a superior/inferior sound. To my ear, it sounds fine. It is what I expected.
Features
I was pleased that the instrument came with a nice case. It also came with a longer tube to be used in place of the mouthpiece. I, personally, have difficulty in controlling the airflow with the tube. I am a singer, so it probably has to do with a mind set about filling that long tube. I enjoy the short mouthpiece more.
Ease of Use
It's great! I've had a lot of fun with it. I noticed that the finger placement has to be nearer the outside end of the keys than to the top of the keys. This has required a bit of adjustment due to the way I hold the instrument. Had a bit of trouble getting Middle C to play initially, but I have a feeling this was operator error.
Quality
Other than the previously mentioned problem with Middle C, I have had no problems with the instrument. It's portable and fun. Great if I just need to sightread something and don't have access to a piano or organ.
Value
I priced the instrument on the internet. This seemed to be the best price around.
Manufacturer Support
Have had no need to contact them.
The Wow Factor
Sorry - I don't attach any "sex appeal" to the instrument.
