1 out of 5 stars Pass on this   July 10, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The case is nice but the harps are cheap. I was told they are the best. not true in my case they are not that good. They have failed, plus they have a very nasty smell and taste to them that I dont like so I say pay more for a better harp you will be happy that you did, Thanks From Mad Matt Blues


5 out of 5 stars A steal for someone just beginning.   May 30, 2008
I bought these probably about two years after I started playing harmonica just to try them out and I wish I would have bought them sooner. They feel good and sound good for a plastic harp. The reeds are a little weak, but I haven't busted one yet. I think the bendability of this set is great, almost effortless. If you are trying to make solid music of course you'll need a metal set, but if you are just starting out I think this is a great place to do it.


4 out of 5 stars great starter set   May 19, 2008
This is a great starter set for the new harmonica player. These are not the best harps out there, but you have a great range of keys to choose from. After you learn the basics on these harps and want to continue playing, buy a GOOD harmonica and playing will get much easier. The case is a great bonus!


5 out of 5 stars Great set and even better case for the money   May 6, 2008
This is the kind of set you buy along with a cheap 3/4 scale acoustic guitar to toss in your truck when you're going tailgating/camping and just want to have some fun without worrying too much if something gets lost or broken along the way.

First off, the case itself is worth the money this set costs. Holds seven harps securely, with a pretty solid exterior.

Now to the harps. I've been playing blues harp for quite a few years now. Are these as good as my Special 20's? Of course not. But they are certainly playable.

Every harp in my set worked. I can bend the holes on all the harps - even the high blow notes (except on the highest keys, but that's with most harps). My guess with people who can't bend notes on these is that their technique is less than perfect. This wouldn't be a great set to learn how to bend notes on, but if you already know how to do it well, they'll bend ok for you.

Yes, they are airy. Not so much as to make them unplayable though. They still give a decent sound. I'm not saying I would play one on stage, but they give a decent sound. Best I can tell Hohner took some of their standard reedplates and stuck plastic cases on them (Golden Melody I've heard, but can't be sure).

I honestly can't recommend these for someone seriously trying to learn to play, but it would be great for your kid to see if he sticks with it for more than a couple weeks. For serious learning, you're better off with one good harp than a set of subpar ones.

But just for fun, and a toss around set, these can't be beat.

Edit: as far as using the case for other harps, my Special 20's fit in perfectly, so I'm not sure which harmonicas the other reviewers had that would not fit.


4 out of 5 stars Better plastic please!   April 4, 2008
Good sound and low cost but the smell and taste still strong after a month airing out on the counter. I hope the plastic smell will fade soon.

I have a cheap HOHNER "POCKET PAL" and it's great a 5 STAR value for a beginner or casual user.
