    Once I played it in a little all notes rang true and beautiful. Bass notes have earthy depth and highest notes soar. A wonderful harmonica.

  • I am extremely dissatisfied

    Poor reed setup requires massive embouchure shifts that inhibit the harmonica from being played fluently. 27/64 reeds have problems. This could not be used for professional recording.

    The Grand Daddy of them all! What a tone for Blues in Dm (harp itself is in key of C), but you knew that when playing in 3rd position. I'm only touching the tip of the iceberg with this instrument. This is not a toy! This can be compared to the Piano of Harmonicas. 64 individual notes. An Harmonica for a lifetime and any piece of music.

  • Fantastic product. Great sound and materials!

    My father's ancient harmonica finally gave up the ghost, so for Christmas I bought him this one. He is in love with it. As a professional musician, he knows his stuff, and he raves about his new harmonica!
