I am considering purchasing a Melodica for my boyfriend who has expressed interest in them. Would this model be a good pick for a beginner?

This is absolutely a good pick for a beginner. I used to play piano, so I was used to the keyboard, but I had never played a melodica before I purchased this, and there was no problem immediately playing some tunes. The only problem that has developed is that the D two octaves above middle C has gone a little bit flat. That's not a not I play very often, so it isn't a big problem.

This melodica like all of them are certainly easier for someone with piano or keyboard experience. But, for the price, it would be fine, even for someone with limited piano experience or ability. Hope this helps

i would say yes. you could go a little smaller, but he can develop with this one. a smaller one will eventually limit him............

Definitely. Easy to play and sounds good. Best to start on an instrument such as this which offers quality without breaking the bank.

Yes, I am a female beginner with small hands and it's been a great choice for me. Get a good tuner and learn how to use it. Good luck!

I would say yes because of the value. But you must remember if your learning how to play those random squeaks can turn people away faster than nails on a chalk board. I would master playing before going electric. Every small error is vet prominent when amplified. Good luck still a great buy regardless.

You should get the OU2T Tenor !! It's great for beginners AND pro's. I've only had to tune it once since I got it and I play it almost everyday. It has that cool island look and sound :)

Absolutely! This is something for anyone who likes music - no matter what the age. And it's great as a gift because you don't "grow out of it" like many fad ideas. You might even find yourself playing it sometime!

Its great for beginners! I purchased it a few months ago. I got new strings for it though and the sound improved immensely. On youtube "the online piano tutor"(she does violin too) has a really good review on it. :-)

I hesitated to answer because it may be a matter of opinion, but then again, you are asking for an opinion. Here it goes: I think the sound is just great. Considering there are music systems for over a grand, this one looks fine, it fits in my limited space, and the sound is good. I am really pleased that I made the choice to purchase this machine!

The Stentor Violin is a great instrument for a beginner. I've been playing one for a year and haven't had any issues. It comes with a nice , durable case.

Indoneisa, i wouldnt worry about that tho, if u want a nice acoustic for cheap this is the guitar. It resonates really nice almost like it has an effect. Also, the fret job isnt that bad wich i thouhht it would be when i was purchasing. Its smaller than you think tho so make sure u know what scale guitar yoir looking at before u buy this, it suprised me but im still very sattisfied

I would say this is a good starter violin and beyond, Andrew. We've had no problems with it and my daughter's teacher was quite pleased with the sound quality/construction. Good luck in your choice :)

If this is their first violin I would recommend it especially if your not sure they will stay with the lessons and continue playing. If they are accomplished and will continue playing I would purchase a higher quality instrument. This violin does have a good tone and is easy to string and tune. A small girl may need a 3/4. It is a good quality sounding piece for the price and a good starter instrument.

Yes! For a starter ukulele it's pretty nice. I definitely recommend it for a starter. The starter kit is most definitely a plus for any beginner. The ukulele itself is good quality. Don't spend much more $$ than what this is if just starting out. In my opinion, not necessary.

Watch fiddler man on YouTube. He has some great info to help. I love this violin. I do think (after researching my purchase ) that in the musical instruments market, money is an important factor. Spend to the upper end of your comfort level. It wil, hopefully, mean a higher quality instrument. Regardless, your first violin will have sentimental value, even if you invest in another.

If you haven't played the violin its very hard to play I would recommend that you rent one at a local music store before you buy one. But for the price of the stentor 2 it would be good to start with it sounds good.

I just bought this guitar. I am a novice, but my friend is not and thinks it is a great bargain for the money.

I bought it for me since I had an interest in playing the flute. Found I could play it easy enough and liked it, but ended up giving it to my 8 year old daughter to play for band. There was one note that she and her teacher had trouble with--can't remember which. In the end, they worked it out. It seems like it's a fine beginner instrument; but I don't know flutes well enough to really say. Hope this helps some.

Yes, I think so. I bought it for my son and he's learning how to play it, so its a good starter for beginners. It's held up to being carted around in his pockets and backpack, so its also durable.
