Do not let the picture mislead you. The color beads that come along with the harmonica may be a different color other then blue. For example the color beads I received were pink... unfortunately I shipped this to a friend of mine. (who happens to be a boy..and not quite into pink). Great small gift idea however beware..it may be pink!

My dad played the harmonica very well and I purchased a couple of these little ones in his memory to give to his great granddaughter. What a unique idea. At his funeral service, I had some of his "recorded music" playing in the background and right before the final words, I asked my little granddaughter to play the little Hohner Mini - which she did -- and what a memory.

I love my mini harmonica necklace. It comes with a song you can learn to play on the necklace! There are reviews claiming to BEWARE OF PINK BEADS! before you freak out over the color of the beads on the necklace there is one easy thing to make sure you get the color you want. When you receive the necklace untie the back and put whatever color beads your little heart desires on!!! I get many compliments on my necklace and it is a lot of fun. I am a lifeguard and one day I forgot my whistle so I used my necklace. I got a laugh every time I blew it. This toy is fun and cute!

Love this little thing. While you wont be composing Bach on this, the harmonica is fun and works. Also very attractively made and sturdy, well worth the price.

Im a boy... why in the hell world, i would use a pink necklace, i will not return it becuase im goimg to give it to a friend. but im very sat...

This harmonica was bought for a 4 year old who likes music very much. He has been through several plastic kazoos and harmonicas. Finally decided he was old enough for a metal one, but still too young to take care of a full size more expensive model. Item was smaller that it looked online. But he loves it! It is so handy wearing it around his neck, doesn't have to remember where he put it down or worry about it falling out of a pocket while jumping and running around. Great present!

This necklace looks really cool and simple, the mini harmonica isn't that playable though, holes 2 and 3 on mine are too stiff for any practical song playing, And the tuning is a little bit off, however you do have a full scale of notes (C~C)! which can be a handy little reference if you're starting to play any musical instruments.

I have to say that I am very upset due to something that I think could easily be prevented: I ordered 2 of these for my sons who are very into music instruments & happen to LOVE harmonicas! However, upon arrival the beads on 1 of necklaces are pink! (also happened to another reviewer)I think this is very poor judgment because I think there are several "unisex" colors out there that could have been chosen over pink! Bad call! I don't feel like messing around with return/exchange stuff so in order to save myself the headache I just went ahead & painted the cheap plastic beads myself (a different color other than pink!) It should be clearly stated in the seller's description that you might possibly receive a pink one...neither of my boys happens to like the color pink!

Twelve years of going to bars and concerts, and almost every time i wore this, a girl or two would use it as an opening to say hi. "What's that?" or "Is that a harmonica?" and all you have to do is smile, lift it to your mouth, and go "Tweet!" and they laugh and voila, ice broken.

I recently lost the one i bought on a NYC streetcorner in the mid-90s, while installing an uncooperative baby car seat in a rental car. Had to replace it, because now I use it on my kids -- they LIGHT UP when they hear it!

Seriously, this harmonica is one of the best things i have ever purchased. Ever. (Redonkulous but true.)

EDIT - The rope broke June 2011, so it didnt last nearly as long as I'd hoped. Lost the harmonica :(

I purchased one of these Harmonica's for my 3 y.o. daughter at a local fair. It was the first thing that I bought when we got there and my daughter played it the entire time. I was very happy that the sound that comes out is pleasant. When we left 5 hours later, she was still playing it. She likes to wear it around her neck to this day.
