3.0 out of 5 stars I fell for the cheap price, November 29, 2004

What? This harmonica is plastic! It's not that great. I was brought into buying it by the cheap price (I love to get a good deal) but it's just what the price says, a cheap harmonica. Not worth it.

I've always wanted a better harmonica than my current beginner 20-hole, so I wanted to change to a 10-hole. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this, I should have known better. But I've just put this one aside and continued practicing on my old one.

Three stars were given just because it's for 2 bucks. It does what it's supposed to do, which is make noise, But if you want something with a good tone and really good feel(this harmonica is way short, barely bigger than your index finger) than I suggest going for a more expensive harmonica. It really is worth it in order to get a good sound.

Well, like others, I fell for the cheap price(but don't regret it) and previously never even had an INTEREST whatsoever in harmonica. So, I give much thanks to the fact that this little cheapo gave me the chance to get my mouth wet(vice feet wet.haha) and discover the fun of harps. It plays well, has brass reeds, lucite plastic comb(middle)(just like the higher end Lee Oskars and Special 20 Hohners), and stainless covers. I say for the price of a Biggie fry, you get a good starter harmonica. You don't expect to get Cadillac comfort from a Kia so WHY would you give a good cheap harmonica a bad write-up just because its not top notch sound like a HIGHER PRICED harp. The sound is a little "tinnier" than my Hohners and in the beginning it was a little hard to play and needed to break in, just like any harmonica ever made(short of a Bluesharp). By harder, I mean it took a good bit of wind to sound notes and that makes smooth transitions a little harder until you learn how to play good. Now, It plays as easy as my Hohners. If you want a good solid starter harmonica- this is a great deal. If you want more from the start, go PAY more...Good harps are 16-25 dollars. Even though the saying is "you get what you pay for", in THIS case you GET more than you pay for rather than getting less for "just paying less." I mean, really folks- WHAT can you get for 1.00-2.00 these days? Not much, so this is a lot of product for a dirt cheap price.

2.0 out of 5 stars the price says it all, July 12, 2006

you get what you pay for with this model; contrary to what someone else said- it is NOT easy to play; you really have to blow into it; a few of the really high and low notes are poor compared to better quality harps; perhaps if it is just for a practice harmonica, the low price wont hurt,but, then again, you might want to practice on a harp with a better sound
