Suzuki W-37 Professional Wooden Alto Melodion, 37 Keys, with Case

Suzuki's professional melodica: the W-37, with a mahogany body and keys of walnut and beech — an instrument, not a toy. The wood and the phosphor bronze reeds give it a warm, rounded voice that sits beautifully in recordings, which is why the W-37 turns up in studios far from any classroom. Three mouthpieces (short, long, and the S-shaped one for table playing) and a case are included.

• 37 keys, alto
• Mahogany + wood keys
• Phosphor bronze reeds
• 3 mouthpieces
