Yamaha P-32D Pianica: Review
The Pianaca (also called a melodica) generates clear sound, full tones and anti-corrosive reeds. Unique, fun to play and a great conversation starter, this 32-note Pianaca comes with a durable blue hard case, blowing pipe and mouthpiece.
And this instrument is from Yamaha, a trusted brand when it comes to music instruments. Yamaha was established in 1897 as a piano and reed organ manufacturer. Today it is the world’s biggest manufacturer of musical instruments.

I own a few melodicas and this one is my favorite melodica for regular use. It feels nice in your hand, the keyboard action is smooth from one end of the keyboard to the other. Any downside? When it comes to bending the notes, its a bit difficult to do on the P-32D as compared to other melodicas, probably because of the stability of its tones. Also, on my melodica, one note (G4) sometimes fails to sound (again, that seems to be because of moisture buildup).
