Having now had a total of five A-25 (Study 25) Suzuki Melodions, including three of the 1970s model and two of the 1960s model, I feel like I’m in a position to recommend these altos with enthusiasm. Especially the 1970s model, which is not hard to find at a reasonable price. This one cost me $13 plus shipping, though I’d be happy to have paid $60 or more, as it plays and sounds like a new M-32C and is the equal of a Yamaha P-25F. Now I would know to be patient and watch for one that is listed as in excellent condition and looks new in the photos. The Soprano is quite like the current Suzuki S-32C, of which I’m not a big fan. But the 25 is easier to play and seems a bit more mellow to me.
