You are most welcome, Pal and others who may be interested. I must admit that I was very pleasantly surprised at how functional the “Jankolpitts” conversion is. And while not pertinent to this site, exactly, I might add that I have converted 3 small MIDI keyboards as well, and if you are interested in compact, quiet and versatile iPad or PC MIDI…Read more

David – Thank you very much for your detailed description of the process and your notes. This is highly valuable for those of us wanting to do the conversion – I appreciate it!

I first bought a Suzuki B24 (bass) Melodion and was impressed by it. What specifically attracted me to the (Suzuki) Hammond are the 44 keys, the built-in microphone, its sound (from YT videos), build quality and I like its look!

I have a P37D too, also a great instrument and they both sound different enough from each other.

Sorry to hear about this experience!
I bought a P37D last year and didn’t have any strong smell. It’s to determine if the smell comes more from the case or the pianica itself. Though I think you should leave the case open.

The P37D is a fine and quality melodica. I hope the smell will go away, good thing that if it doesn’t you got a refund!
