  We study pseudoscalar and scalar mesons using a practical and symmetry
preserving truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations. We investigate and
compare properties of ground and radially excited meson states. In addition to
exact results for radial meson excitations we also present results for meson
masses and decay constants from the chiral limit up to the charm-quark mass, e.
g., the mass of the chi_{c0} (2P) meson.
