I hesitated before buying this harp because I was unsure of the covers. Rest assured they feel good on the lips and work very well.

Mine was airtight and responsive out of the box, with only a slight adjustment needed for one reed. Pretty good!

The corners are a bit sharp, but a touch of sanding takes the edge off that.

It comes in a very nice plastic box. It closes with a solid click and will not pop open accidently. It's also vented through the bottom. That's either good or bad, depending on how you look at things. On one hand, it allows air circulation, permitting the harp to dry out if put away damp. On the other hand, it will permit some crud to get in if you habitually carry it around in your pocket.

The Pro Harp is mid-range in Hohner's modular system series (MS series). It has a plastic comb and the dividers are comfortable. The reed plates are replaceable, and the harmonica is built so as to be easy to disassemble for maintenance. You'll need a posidrive #1 for the screws.

I purchased this more as a gag gift or "toy" for my son who is a professional jazz musician living in Los Angeles. He now uses it professionally in his gigs and has even used it in studio work. So, toy it is not! He says it is the best harmonica of its type he has every played and that is high praise coming from not only a professional musician, but one who is very picky about his equipment.

I work for a security company, and I often find myself in the middle of nowhere with nothing to look at and nobody to talk to. This makes falling asleep a serious risk, as in a risk to my employment and potentially a risk to the people and property I'm protecting. How do I avoid this problem? Playing my harmonica.

I bought this harmonica because my Grandfather played in a band, and I wanted to try to teach myself. It was en excellent choice, as it has a good sound, and was not expensive at all.
