"Played hohner melodica back in the 70's."
"all these never happened before, with earlier model(student) of hohner. The mouthpiece has some problem, it is less wide and condensation seems to be obstructing the air blown into it, and the sound volume becomes less.One has to blow harder to get the minimum sound of keys."

"Fine quality; it's definitely an "instrument" and not a "toy"."
"The quality seems to be ok but I don't see it lasting too long with 7 year olds taking it from home to school everyday."
"I expect it is like hearing a new violinist learning to play, eventually you know they could be good enough to play a concerto, but for now your ears are just hurt and are confused."
"The only thing is that these colored balls inside it, not sure what is the purpose, but the kids always want to rip it a part get the balls out!"
"These hand bells sound wonderful and they are beautiful to look at with their bright colors. With older children it would be quite possible to form an ensemble and have four to eight children sound the bells to make melodies."
"But, the bottom flared piece falls off and it won't play without that being attached."
"The one I received had no markings on it to indicate that it was truly a Schylling accordion."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It's a great buy for introductory concertina and the value slightly exceeds the price, I would recommend it, keeping in mind that it only has one accidental (F# 3 8va)."
"The two scenarios I believe this instrument should be purchased are: if you aren't sure that you'll like playing the concertina and want to try it out, or if you just want something to squeeze and goof around with your friends. I bought this, played it for a week and decided I liked playing the concertina enough to upgrade to a brand a few hundred dollars more expensive."
"The sound is clear and loud, it's fairly easy to play, maybe the tuning's not perfect but it's no worse than what you'd get out of a Sears Catalog a century ago which adds to its charm."
"Very nice."
"Well made."
"Product is very good."
"Beautiful, well-crafted, good sound, and perfect size."
"Within 24 hours of receiving my concertina I had one button than all of a sudden stopped producing it's note, and both of the CHEAP fake leather straps broke on either end."
