A fun instrument. The only problem is that the intonation varies widely depending on air pressure - as much as a whole tone range for some notes, so you will need to have a good ear and adjust your blowing (and, therefore, volume, accordingly) I was able to make it a bit better by taking it apart, hooking the air intake up to a CPAP machine which I had set for a consistent air pressure, and tuning it. Each of the pipes has a rubber stopper which is glued in place, but it's fairly easy to break the glue seal by twisting the stopper delicately with a pliers. Then you just minutely move the stopper in or out, using an electronic tuner and a consistent air pressure. I must emphasize the need for a mechanical source of air pressure, as the tiniest variation will greatly effect the pitch. You must also put the outer shell back on for each measurement, as this also effects the pitch. Of course, after all this it will still be out of tune unless you are playing it at just the right pressure/volume, but at least it will be a bit more consistent.Read full review

This is a wonderful little instrument that's different from a normal melodica, having whistles (mini organ pipes) instead of reeds. This instrument is some what harder to play than a melodica and requires practice.
