3.0 out of 5 stars Big sound indeed, a wood combed Comet, December 7, 2011
This review is from: Hohner 1496/48 Echo Harmonica
It does indeed take a lot of air to fill up both reeds - it's not a 10-hole diatonic. The wood comb gives it a nice traditional sound and the octave tuning gives it a full sound. It's not wet tremolo though and the scale is Weiner so it's missing some bottom notes. It's really easy to isolate single pitches on - even in the octave. It's the biggest of the Echo series though - nice, wide range. Very similar to playing the Comet but with the wooden comb and more reeds.

Not so hot for blues wailing but it does nicely for the ethnic folk music it was intended to play. This isn't a choice for beginners and the price makes some others a pretty good pick over it. Remember, it's an octave harp and not a tremolo or blues-harp and it isn't scale-tuned like some of the Asian models.
