INFORMATION BOOK

I like that they come in assorted colors and individual cases. I wish the cases were a little better designed to secure the instrument inside without rattling and color match to the instrument or perhaps a clear face

AMAZING BOOK

My Dad assumed it was because of his age (in his 80s), but with this new Marine Band Harmonica every note is crystal clear and "Amazing Grace" sounds ...

MUST LISTEN TO IT

What a difference $20 makes. Don't buy the cheaper version for $10-20. Get this one. I tried to learn how to play the Harmonica on a cheap Harmonica and had difficulty with air.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This harmonica was a Christmas gift for my 7 year old granddaughter. She opened it on Christmas day and she was excited. She started to play it immediately and for the rest of the day.

AMAZING BOOK

The 5 star rating is complimentary to the price. Ready to play with no sticky notes. Decent tone. However these are not the high end of their brand

GREAT

I have been a singer my entire life, yet I don't read music that well. I watched several YouTube videos on the basics, paused them a few times while I mastered the skill and within 2 days I am now playing reasonably well

HELPFULL BOOK

Growing up, I always carried a harmonica. After my last one disappeared many years ago. I always said I'd replace it but never got around to it.

EFFECTIVE BOOK

This book arrived speedy to my door. I have been looking at theory with my guitar instructor and was looking for a book to supplement my lessons

GOOD BOOK

My little sister enjoys this harmonica. It’s durable and has survived through being dropped many times. Great sound quality and kid-proof.

BEST GUIDE

most songs in the wrong key. Its one octave higher. I am teaching myself and just finished "Absolute Beginner " for the harmonica

KNOWLEDGEBLE BOOK

A couple months ago I decided out of the blue that I wanted to learn to play harmonica. I love blues and blues rock, but also a fan of the sounds of Irish and Celtic tunes and civil war era music

INFORMATION BOOK

It’s not a Hohner, but at this price point, I can’t complain about the sound or assembly. Built strong, decent sound quality, and no sharp ridges or burrs to nick the grandkids’ lips.

5STAR

Bought two of these ... one for my Dad and one for me. My Dad has played for years, but his old Hohner Harmonica was not sounding very good and hearing a lot of wrong notes.

MUST LISTEN TO IT

I have more Gs than anything: one for the vehicle, one for the leather 4-pack (GACD), and one around the house to pick up and play

NICE ONE

The case is very good. I purchased a single East Top Bb to go with these that is a higher quality harp and the tone is noticeably richer using it with the F and C from the set.

KNOWLEDGEBLE BOOK

At age 59, I decided that I wanted to learn to play the harmonica. Not wanting to spend a bunch of money, I chose the Fender Blues Deluxe

HELPFULL BOOK

My son's and I all share a love of music. My oldest got one and so I purchased these for my youngest and myself. We both love them. They're good quality and the cases are well made. I see us having these for a long time
