Why Resonance

Every instrument is tuned and sound-checked before it leaves us. Dispatched within 24 hours, insured and tracked. 30 days to play it at home: if the sound does not convince you, we take the instrument back. If you are unsure which model to choose, you can reach us before and after your purchase.

17 keys is the easiest place to start, and it gives you the widest choice of tabs and practice pieces. More tines give you extra melodic room. If you are torn between two models, go with the sound that speaks to you first. The number of keys sets the range, not your talent.
