The M-32C fits more comfortably in the hand, for me at least. I have average size hands. The A-32C is about 1/4″ deeper. I’m just now comparing the two. There is some difference in key action, comparable to differences in action between electric keyboards. I would say that the M-32C has somewhat more “realistic” action, a bit more like the action of a better electric keyboard, a real piano being the standard of course, from which all melodicas are far removed.

If “small and light but better quality” is what you’re looking for, Yorg, I would recommend the M-32C. The M-37C is heavy and bulky by comparison. I enjoy playing the A-34C, but among the three I find myself always gravitating toward the M-32C. It fits most comfortably in the left hand and is more easily balanced. Whatever other melodicas I have (and I have many), I would always want to have an M-32C. For its size it is relatively heavy in comparison with the A-34C, but this gives it a more solid feel. These Suzukis come pretty well tuned, and they hold their tuning well. I can say this with the most confidence of the M-32C since I have played it so much. All three of these models vent very well. They have what I think is on the whole the best venting mechanism, which has worked better on some Suzuki models than on others but which is close to perfection on these current models. Appearance-wise the M-32C is more attractive than the A-34C in terms of having its “vent” holes on the tray in both the front and back rather than in just one line on the bottom. I don’t know whether this affects the sound.
