I own the Hohner 32-key Airboard. Does this 37-note play an octave higher, or an octave lower (being that mine begins on the F below middle C)?

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 am really happy with the keyboard. I recommend getting the pedal. I've been playing a keyboard for quite a while and enjoy this one very much. Hope you will too.

I've had trouble with any tunings other than standard. It will eventually hear the note and start to work but once you get lower than a 1/2 step it has trouble picking up the note.

The YRS 24-B is tuned to 442, so if you want to play it with a standard 440 tuned instrument (i. e. Guitar, Piano) it sounds sharp, and terrible. The tone this produces is better also. I recommend the Aulos personally, it is slightly easier to hit the highest notes, but this is a good sounding recorder, and is in tune with other instruments at 440 MHz. I carry both this and an Aulos in my Music accessory bag. Both have a curved windway as well, which helps the tone and ease of hitting the upper register. Definitely worth it.

This is great for my flute that goes from C-4 (Middle C) to C-7, or 3 octaves. It will play a note for tuning showing the octave numbers from C-4 to C-7, but when I play a note on my flute, it tells me if I am flat or sharp, and shows the note, but not the octave. It is complicated to explain. It is great for flute, but I would not buy it for a piano. You should check with Borg, or somewhere that sells pianos and/or tuners. It did show sharp or flat below C-4 and above C-7 on the piano, but the directions indicate you can't rely on those readings.

By "tone," I don't know whether you mean pitch range (F below middle-C to F above C-3) or color (mine is red). And, yes, like every melodica I've seen, it has a hand strap on the underside, and a long hose to blow into if you want to put it on a table.

Yes. That's the short answer. The alto's lowest note is the F below the soprano's lowest of C. HOWEVER, it will be written as if it were a higher note than the soprano. That's because the soprano actually sounds an octave higher than written and the alto sounds the pitch that is written. Want some fun? Try the tenor recorder. Its music is exactly the same as the soprano, but since it doesn't sound an octave higher than written, it produces a warm sound that blends well with the human voice.

Nina, I hit the wrong key, so this may be a repeat. But, yes it does. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I play Bridge and just love this Hoyle version. Cassie Maull

Everything is an octave lower. The game plays the ocarina's notes higher to match the octave of the in-game (background) music. But that doesnt make it anh less than what it is. The instrument still sounds beautiful.

Yes, it will allow you to set the temperament (octave around middle C). Tuning the high and low notes of a piano requires some skill, however...

Are you sure it isn't listed on the Casio website? I haven't searched for it, and the actual keyboard don't come with a full list, but there are hundreds of sound settings that it must be out there somewhere. Sorry I couldn't help!

Hi Cynthia, the notes are G, D, and F. I've not checked it with a tuner, but it sounds in perfect pitch to me. I posted a video review if you'd like to hear it!

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

I don't understand the question. What chart? As far as I know, there is only one Special 20- the Marine Band-branded one, as you describe. If you check the Hohner site, that's all you'll find under Special 20, in the various keys. I've been playing them for thirty years- they've never varied, far as I know. If you got something other than the MB Sp. 20 as pictured, you've gotten something weird, maybe not genuine Hohner. Is it maybe country-tuned, or some other odd tuning? Is it from some overseas outlet? I'd be interested in seeing a picture of a progressive Sp.20.

Yes, it is small bore. It's a little larger than I normally play on (Olds 4 and 5, and Bach 12C), which is what I was after - It gives a smoother, darker tone, although I can't seem to get as much volume with it as I can with my smaller one. It may just be that the darker tone blends better for sectional playing and doesn't stand out quite so much, so is a bit more difficult to distinguish. It does take a bit more air than the smaller ones - that's normal. I'm more than satisfied with the tone, articulation, and response.

The keys are shorter than most controllers. Synths/controller keys in general are a little smaller than piano keys (including better digital pianos), and A-500 and A800 are even smaller. That's why I sold mine. Really disliked the short keys. Disappointing, is superb controller for my DAW (Sonar), very good keyboard bed / action and quality (in my limited experience)... just... shorty keys.

Brad, I play a 5-string bass and have had no problems tuning to the low B. Often I check the tuning accuracy of the notes I play most often, such as, low C, D, F, G, Ab, Eb, etc. It displays the note that I am hitting and indicates if it is sharp or flat. I don't foresee you having any problem with this tuner. It is the best tuner I have ever used. The "true pass through" and mute features while tuning are excellent also.
