Compared to other melodicas in the same range, is the tone of this harsh and brighter, or is it more mellow?

Harsh and mellow are subjective. But I do not think of this instrument as harsh at all.

I don't have perfect pitch, but it sounds pretty good to me. Better than any of the other ones we have. We love the whole set :)

I would not recommend this one for that level of playing. My son is using it as a beginner in his middle school. I think it's a fair instrument for beginner level learning. I'm not a musician though. The piece is very light and easily damaged.

This starts on F below middle C also. I sometimes wish it was an octave lower, just because that is such a lovely sound. The bass melodicas are expensive!

I choose the A collection for its bright classic sound. The k collection is darker. I will own a set of Ks eventually. I play jazz, rock and power pop music. The cymbals fill my needs and many wants.

Well it does change, but some might not call it worse. It has a bit less bass and treble. I prefer the powered sound, but when it's turned off or has no batteries, it certainly doesn't sound bad.

The highs and miss are focused on acoustics and vocals less bass.You may or may not care for it.I didn't care for it at first.After listening for while they burned in and it was better.I like more bass. Good all around sound however.

To answer question.I like the very warm and mellow sound you can create.Also if you like little crunch I have no problem with that either I think for the money you cant beat the quality. looks good too. thanks and play around with it you will like Iam sure.

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.

Definitely. It's got some settings that are really crunchy. I think you'd be very happy with it playing that kind of music. Even on just 2-3 it's pretty darn loud. I haven't got it past 5 and it was cranking.

They are not as bright as 80/20 Bronze strings, but they are bright. they have a softer sound and softer overtones. Hope this helps. The silk and steel are much easier on your fingers and are mellow sounding.

Well, It does sound identical to to old one that was up from the 80's. Just a basic mellow ding dong. Not a bad sound. Hope that helps!

I can not answer in terms of a direct comparison as I have not had the opportunity to do that. I can say that I am satisfied with the Hohner in my context which is using it for right hand practice or exploring melody for my accordion learning efforts.

It has a nice low pitch, similar to a Native American drum, which is why I purchased it.

Yes it not totally the same. It is more of an overdrive sound. When I run it through my pedals it doesn't pick up the clean as well but I can get good distortion. If I run it straight to my amp it has a VERY good clean sound and a basic overdrive sound. It's a very good pickup and I highly recommend it. I guess if depends on what music your playing. If your playing stuff that just needs slight overdrive and distortion it is great. But if you want like a hard rock or metal sound it does lack in that area. But remember it is an acoustic guitar.

it has a lot of clean gain....and overdrive too if you want it....its very versatile...and it sounds clean without the Tubescreamer type mid range nasal sound.,

Hey Julie49. This is a great instrument. It is almost silent. It wouldn't be all that disturbing "in the same room." I would say there is a low "buzz."David
