Love this Harp !

I own harps in all keys and have tried most all brands ,and for the price I'd say this is the most solid,airtight, well-tuned harp in this price range. They're virtually bullet-proof. One reviewer mentioned a red colored comb Bluesmaster that was out of tune, but I've only owned the black combed versions, and they've been perfect. Also , these are shaped to easily cup in hand to control airflow. Also, you can replace the reed if you blow it out (not that blowin it out is easy with the reeds being made of bronze phosphor!)The bluesmaster isn't as loud as the Harpmaster (another great Suzuki harp with brass reeds),but I like the tone on this one better. Great sound, easy to bend, and not as suseptible to moisture like wood or brass reeds...all in all 5 stars. Besides , the shape and the stainless steel coverplates just look cool ,too.

Suzuki Blues Harp

The Suzuki Bluesharp is a mixed bag. I purchased a G and an Eb. The G was an excellent harp I would give it 5 stars. It is the laser tuned phosphor bronze as described in the product description with a black plastic comb. The Eb was in a red comb and the reed plate was obviously hand tuned and very poorly at that. The first one #7,9, 10 hole was very poorly tuned and had gouges in the reed where the technician tried to tune it close to where it should be. Guitar Center was kind enough to send me another. I was hoping that this was an aberration but the second Eb has even worse with 7,8,9,10 almost unplayable. Maybe the distinction is the red comb and that it's made somewhere else but it is clearly not the same harmonica as the G with the black comb. Also, you can't tune or modify the reeds on the red comb bluesharps. The reeds are spot welded and if you try to adjust them they snap off I would give these production run Bluesharps a 1 Star, not worth the money or the aggravation.

    I sometimes play the harmonica on a rack during performances with my guitar. I want the instrument to be in tune and responsive. I have several Seidels, a Lee Oskar, and this is my second Bluesmaster. It does the job and I like the price.

    This is a beautiful harmonica aesthetically. Looks & feels great in hand and mouth feel is superb. Rounded corners of the covers are terrific when playing-no sharp points. Sound is above average; not quite as 'solid' as Hohner's Blues Harps but darned close and a lot nicer to play; I like the weight. Would have given 5-stars but lost a hole mid gig at the high end. Disappointing but not a deal breaker; I'll try to recover it myself. Will get another one in a different key and see how it performs. Love the feel of it while playing. Features WITH benefits ("no bull" features): Stainless Steel covers, Phos-Bronze Reed plates, plastic combs. Adds up to oxidation free outer, long reed life, durable non-warping, non-swelling combs. Definitely worth a try or two if you're using Oskar, Hohner or Bushman.

  • Excellent Service

    I really like the Suzuki Bluesmaster harp. I purchase two (C and D keys) and am very happy with the quality for a reasonable price.
