I bought this instrument as a fun little supplimentary item for a two-man guitar/vocal group. I was worried it would arrive out-of-tune (other reviewers commented thusly), but it was perfectly in-tune and ready-to-go. Sounds a lot like an accordion, rather than a harmonica. I suppose the highest notes sound harmonica-like. Having mediocre piano skill, I was surprised to find there is still a bit of a learning curve in playing this... especially when playing with the mouthpiece as apposed to the detachable tube. (Playing with the tube does seem to reduce both volume and articulation; though I'm far from an expert, and my observation in this may be unreliable.) I think I'm going to like learning this instrument, and I think that it will allow me to learn breathing and phrasing without having to focus on finger location that much. As such, I would imagine that it may help me as a stepping stone in learning my recorders; that is, to have breathing addressed so I can focus on finger technique later. I don't know. Having tried no other melodica or pianica models, I can't offer any comparisons. I can only say I am pleased that this instrument is worth what I paid for it.
