Melodicas look a lot of fun. Congrats!
But a melodeon it most certainly is not. A melodeon is a diatonic button accordion - different kettle of reed instrument altogether.

Careful there... Suzuki call this a "melodion", but a "melodeon" is a button accordion much favoured by morris dancers and other such folkie types. I've always fancied trying a melodeon or concertina, but it costs a lot to get a reasonable one.

Wow - the Melodica has changed since the one I had several decades ago - back then you had to blow into the end of it and go cross eyed trying to focus on the keys running away into the distance with decreasing size due to perspective. Looks better now - hope you have lots of fun with it. Mark
