HohnerM2009016X Marine Band Crossover C Harmonica.

I was surprised on how big a step up this was over my Hohner Special 20. Tighter, easier to play, great sound, very responsive, and even found it for about the same price as a Special 20 (well worth the wait of it coming from Britain). You can get even better harps, but this was the best out of the box sound I’ve found so far. Very happy with it to the point I never pick up any of my Hohners, except to remind myself how good the Crossover is.

Purchased a Crossover C harp. Love the sealed comb and use of screws on faceplates. Own several Hohner harps but this is by far the best harp for several different music genres. Delivery was fast.

The media could not be loaded. Really great and beautiful harps. They have a bright and slightly raspy sound. I expected excellent quality from the harp, but the quality of the case really surprised me. For those few u-blockers, this is an older style with the plates overlapping the comb. It can irritate your tongue. But the smaller holes with wider comb between them makes single notes easier than for instance a Lee Oskar. Bend seems about the same as a Special 20, bit it's a little less bluesy sounds in my opinion, though that could just be inexperience.

The media could not be loaded. If you are beginning the harp but seriously want to enjoy playing then it is worth the money to get the hohner marineband crossover. Just do it. You won't be sorry.

Great sounding harp, right out of the box.Gave it four stars overall and three stars for value for the money because there are SHARP edges along ends of the top and bottom reed plates as well as sharp rear corners on the top and bottom covers.Wore so skin off the web of my hand before I did some deburring.

The Hohner Crossover was recommended by my Blues Harp teacher. What a gem! It's now my favorite harp. Bamboo comb! Very clean and bendable. Plus, there's a code for free lessons on Harmonica.com, which is just fabulous!

I went with this deal because of the price...$25 cheaper than most U S companies... shipping took longer, but was worth the cost difference... as a working musician, that helps... thanks..

This harmonica is totally worth the money. If you are a beginner, I would suggest getting a Fender blues in the key of C. This would be better after you have had practice.
