Case starts out being tight and difficult but after a few days use it stretches and becomes quite usable. My remedy was just to place the harmonica (also a Special 20) in the case with the last 1/4" or so not stuffed all the way in. If you're expecting this to be like a gun holster for quick draws, you will be disappointed. If you want a simple piece of protection for the instrument that can be tossed in your pocket or a backpack without consuming the space of the larger plastic case - then this will do nicely. I carry it with me essentially everywhere. It keeps the harp clean and secure.

Looking for a simple belt pouch to carry a single harp around, and thought this would be it, but I find it very tight and small for comfortably holding a standard 10-hole harp (a Special 20 in my case). Difficult to get the harp out of once it's in.

The case is very nice I didnt have alot of problems with anything fitting It is a HARMONICA case after all, it was not made for gunfights in the street. The only thing that worries me is the strap that attaches it to your belt it seems thin. It will serve it's needs.

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this case. The pictures weren't too helpful and the description simple so I was a little worried. Though I'm glad to tell you that I was pleasantly suprised when I got this thing in front of me.

It's a fairly hard leather case, looks and feels sturdy. The snap seems like it will last awhile as well. As for the belt loop I really can't say at the moment, but I'm sure it will last for awhile. The Hohner logo is a nice touch as well.

The case is really tight at first so it's not a bad idea to leave a little bit of your harmonica out so you can pull it out easier. Though at first I would keep a harmonica stuffed all the way inside anytime I wasn't planning to use it. Stretches the leather out faster that way.

I've recently acquired this leather holster, and here's the deal on the ease of removing your harmonica.

If you're packing a harmonica in the shape of a Hohner Golden Melody, a Suzuki Promaster or Bluesmaster, the holster works perfectly well right away. Just unsnap the holster and gently squeeze it from the bottom like a tube of toothpaste, and your harmonica will come right out. No problem. However, with a harmonica shaped like a Hohner Special 20 or a Blues Harp, the fit's a little tighter--at first. But (as one reviewer noted) the leather stretches quite easily.

I originally ordered this thing on a lark, but I've got to say, I've found it's really a handy way to tote around your instrument. Much more convenient than those little plastic boxes your harmonicas rattle around in and which always feel kind of awkward in my pocket. And keeping your harmonica in a hip holster IS sort of like wearing a cowboy pistol. And there's something even pleasurable about that (in a juvenile way, admittedly, but so what?).
