HohnerHarmonica (1896BX-EF)

This harmonica works smoothly,especially at high register (holes 8,9,10) where the reeds tend to have troubles with high-pitched notes.The reeds of holes 8,9,10 on this one are still very responsive,stable,and the high notes are still clear & accurate.No issues. Just the same,if you plan to have only a few harmonicas for fun,choose lower keys for more common pitch-range of most songs ( 8 keys from G to D are used a lot more_in my opinion_Keys G,G#,A,Bb,B,C,C#,D ). Below is the tuning-chart for a 10-hole diatonic in Key of Eb Major :BLOW : Hole# 1/Eb4 2/G4 3/Bb4 4/Eb5 5/G5 6/Bb5 7/Eb6 8/G6 9/Bb6 10/Eb7DRAW : Hole# 1/F4 2/Bb4 3/D5 4/F5 5/Ab5 6/C5 7/D6 8/F6 9/Ab6 10/C7

Year after year, my musician son asks for Hohner Marine Band harmonicas. He has a large collection in wide range of keys, all ordered from Amazon.
