Product Description

Product Description

An easy to play, affordable model. Key of C. The reeds of Diatonic Harmonicas produce the notes of the scale to which they are tuned. For example, a diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of C would produce the natural notes of the C scale without sharps and flats (picture the white keys on a piano, without the black keys). Each hole has two reeds; one plays when breath is exhaled (blow) and the other when inhaled (draw). The individual reeds are each tuned to play a different note on the scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall a great little cheap harp, June 1, 2006

By	jinglehimerschmidt (CO, USA) - See all my reviews

This is probably the second harmonica I ever bought. Now I have 10+. It's really a pretty nice little harp. It's cheap enough that I can really do a number on it without worrying about breaking or gumming up a reed. Great for when I want to save some of my pricer harps. It's constructed a bit like the special twenty and sounds probably closes to that, but a little less pretty. It's been durable and enjoyable. Well worth the price.
I should also mention that it doesn't come with a plastic case like the other Hohners.

By	CPM "Mauser" (Vinton, VA) - See all my reviews

I'm just a novice, but it works just like it is supposed to, it is solid and enjoy playing it.
I have gotten more than my money's worth already.
