This strange music instrument is the Andes 25F - a flute keyboard!

It looks like a variation on the Suzuki Melodion. If you’ve got any info on this beast, let me know in the comments!

I played one today at Macari’s, London. It’s similar to a Melodica but has whistles instead of reeds. If you like, it’s a keyboard pan-pipe (hence the name “Andes”) or a mouth-pumped pipe organ! It has a very sweet recorder-like sound, but is expensive (£129) for its usefulness and musical range. Pity…

Purchased one through Suzuki website. It’s similar enough to the recorder that I plan to use it for a medieval/renaissance group playing the recorder parts along with lutes, shawms and sackbuts. It’s got enough range to be useful in a variety of formats.

I just bought one from Suzuki. What a unique instrument! It sounds very “toy-like”, but in a good way. I’ll definitely find some places for this in various recording projects - It’s like having a mini recorder ensemble at your fingertips. I’m really glad that I found this quirky creation.
