Here is my second M-36, which I’m calling “M-36 Blue.” I believe it is the second Suzuki M-36, marketed 1974-85. It arrived in excellent condition, though without the trumpet mouthpiece — fortunately I have another one that fits. It arrived with loose screws and missing brass screw receptacles. (This has come up before, but the exterior screws of all the metal tray Suzuki melodions engage a small, flat brass insert. Some of these inserts fall right out when the melodion is apart and turned upside down, and they are easily lost. Fortunately, I have some extra screws and inserts from my other, nonfunctional M-36.) I am delighted with the M-36 Blue.
