Fire Melodica 32 : Great sound, Dynamics - Good recording instrument

This is a good instrument if a litle shoddily made. I like the sound and the responsiveness as it lends to a quality live/recording to. Tuning was not perfect but very vibey. All in all a good buy.

I used the melodica on an Irish tour and found the instrument to be very capable of filling the room with out too much amplification needed. A bit of verb was nice.

In Studio I played a little off the mic and found it to be a rounded sound - usful i mnay ways and perfectly suitable for soem EQ workings.

The best feature is the repsoniveness of the keys. Lending itself well to complex melodic lines - an almost eastern/arabic melody - or an Irish trad melody can be pulled off using trills on the fast moving keys.

Good fun and recommended.
