East top Harmonica, Diatonic Blues Harmonica Key of C T003 GREY COVER

These harmonicas are so beautiful! Outstanding quality! I've played since I was a kid and hadn't picked one up for a couple years. I used a credit I had to buy these and I'm so glad I did. This is the first time I've had a full set and I am beyond stoked with my purchase. I'd say they're great for beginners and avid players. The best part about this instrument is that you can take it anywhere, and it'll fit in your pocket. The functionality is flawless and the tones are immaculate. You won't be disappointed.

Good quality harmonica. sounds and plays good.

My son has been into everything music the last couple years. And one instrument of choice is the harmonica. At first I bought a cheapy toy grade one, yet after see he was playing it well. I stepped it up and got him this one. So glad I did because this harmonica is top notch quality. Beautiful sounds. And super easy to clean!!! I even decided to pick up one for myself to learn with, just the one classified for Adults. Best value for your money. The weight feels solid. Super ease of play. And the color look great in black. My son loves it! The other morning I woke to the sound of him making music with it as best he could. And that made me proud!

East Top Free Blues, key of C reviewed by mid-skill-level player comparing to Hohner Rocket. Summary: Surprisingly good performance considering the price. Not a toy: Great starter harp, serviceable too as your backup. Here's the detail. Case is hinged, hard plastic (a bit hard to open), with cleaning cloth. Beautiful appearance: C is dark silver-gray/black. Covers are fastened by Phillips screws top and bottom, and recessed into plastic comb, as with Special 20 and Rocket. Comb edges are sharper than the Rocket but rounded and still comfortable to play. No reed adjustment required, right out of the box. Good reed response on lower and middle scale, takes a bit more air on high notes--workable response, not as good as the Rocket, but good enough. Air is vented well out large openings in back; sides are closed. Easily performs bends and overblows even high on scale. "Tongue slap" works to create percussive notes. Key letter is plainly marked front and right side (nice detail, important for quickly choosing the right harp from several while playing with others). Recommended for beginner trying out harmonica: Free Blues is good enough so not to discourage like a cheap quality harp would do; also recommended for gift to let recipient try out on a good harmonica. At this price, both C & A would be a good start: C for so many online lessons, A to plays blues along with backing tracks in E. You could just let these harps be the only ones you buy and be happy enough. Don't know how they would hold up for performances, but, hey! Inexpensively replaced.

I'm a retired musician who owned a few harmonicas decades ago, but never invested the time to learn to play them properly. I found one of them -- a cheap, entry-level tin sandwich -- while cleaning house and figured I've got more time now, so why not? The old harmonica had sharp edges and sounded like a toy, so I hit Amazon, read some reviews, and decided this little number sounded like a winner. I was not disappointed! This a well-balanced instrument that fits beautifully in my smallish hand. There are no sharp edges, whatsoever, so it's comfortable moving from note to note and chord to chord. The sound is spectacular, too. I must have grown accustomed to the nasal whine of my cheapie old harmonicas because the robust, rounded tones emanating from this one shocked me. The improvement in sound makes a huge difference with motivation to practice. When I stopped playing years ago, it was only partly because I was awful. I sound much better playing this one, and that's all the encouragement I need to keep going.

My little sister loved it and it sounded great! She is just a beginner but it did sound great.

Excellent quality!

Beautiful finish. Quality tone awesome price
