Product Description

Melody Makers are the best harps available for playing STANDARD SINGLE-NOTE MELODIES. They're great for playing COUNTRY, R&B, POP, WORLD BEAT, AFRICAN and REGGAE. This tuning makes it easier to play many songs...that can be difficult, or impossible, to play on a standard Major Diatonic...IN CROSS HARP. All of the notes that were missing on the Major Diatonic are right there on the Melody Maker! These harmonicas provide a complete major scale, in cross harp, for playing exact melody without bending. Yet, the draw notes can still be bent for that bluesy feeling! Melody Makers are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow). In cross harp, melodies can be played with an expressive, fluid style that is extremely difficult to achieve in straight harp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comparing 3 harps in same price range..., November 19, 2011

This review is from: Lee Oskar Harmonica, Melody Maker Key of C (Electronics)

The Hohner Pro harp has a very similar sound to the Lee Oskar but the painted black
paint made it slower and not as smooth on the lips as well as before long flaking.
The Seydel Session had the best feel in the hands with its thicker yet tampered ends lower profile, but pretty mellow and not as reedy or defined in sound. This would be my preferred harp when amplified, as one could adjust the tone at the amp controls.
All good harps at comparably good prices.
PS If your a beginner it's probably best to buy a G major harp which is mid in range and neither to high or low or as a second choice a C major.
Happy Harping...

As soon as I gave the first blow, I was impressed. The sound was so rich and had depth that you could't believe it's from such a small instrument. The quality was excellent. I only wish this harmonica could come with a factory sealed package to give the sense of "brand new".
