by Hohner

Product Description

Key Option:Key of C, Color Option:Black For 150 years, Hohners diatonic harmonicas set the industry standard through high quality construction, excellent response and unsurpassed tone. Often called Blues Harps, they remain a fixture in blues, rock, country, folk, and many other styles of music. Traditional Richter tuning and undivided air channels allow for techniques such as bending and overblowing reeds, creating the signature wailing sound typical of the harmonica. The gold plated plastic comb, black Greblon coated covers and extra thick (1.05 mm) reed plates make the Cross Harp a stylish model with a big sound. 10 Holes; 20 Reeds Diatonic, MS System

This review is from: Hohner Harmonicas 565C Cross Harp Harmonica, Black

I don't think so. It is not more powerful sounding in spite of the thicker reed plates and "gold" finish (hope this paint doesn't chip off at some point). It is air tight out of the box but I don't think is worth ten bucks to twelve dollars more than the other Hohner MS (Modular System) models. I would probably buy a Pro Harp if I wanted another plastic comb Hohner MS. I will say that the thicker reed plates on this Cross Harp seem to handle the overblows (blow bends) without much dog whistle ring (a little bit, though). Cannot say how it holds up over time as this is my first Cross Harp.
