Hi Daren, thanks a lot for your reply! All notes are working, but I didn’t ask yet for the airtight test. That’s good to know, i’ll Ask before I’m going to visit.
All the best!

Very cool! Never expected to hear a melodica in surf rock.

Hi Gerald, thanks for your help! Then I’ll let the M-36 rest for a bit, and first enjoy the mellow sound I was after in the Piano 36.

I’m very curious if anything can be said about the time of construction of my Piano 36. I noticed there are slightly different versions of the instrument. Or, if impossible to tell from the photos, is there a period in which the majority of the Piano 36’s were produced?

Thanks for all the information, Melodica-Me! It’s hard to find info about these older models, so it’s valuable to hear about them! I read that the Hohner has a darker and more mellow sound, and as I found my Pianica often too harsh, I decided to buy that one (also because it was $50, against 100 for the Suzuki). I received the Hohner yesterday, and it blew me away, what a beautiful sound! I’m not home now, but will post some pictures after the weekend.

Here’s the Suzuki, seems like the 1st gen and it seems to be in great shape! Is it one to chase after?

I did some research over the days and bought the Hohner, because of the positive experiences of the players on this forum. It’s one from the 70s I believe, and it’s in great shape. The sound, the feel, the responsiveness of the keys, all are amazing, what a difference from the Pianica. It’s gonna stay with me for a long time!
