Very cool melodica, the design is beautiful and different. It looks like plastic when you hold it, but the sound is very, very good (I still prefer Suzuki melodicas' warmer sound but this one sounds great too). I didn't like the mouthpiece though, however cool it is, the saliva gets out through the spaces between the plastic pieces and gets wet when playing. It should come with standard mouthpieces (a long one and a short, trumpet style another).
