My first harmonica
busy_b 10.02.2020
This is my first mouth harp ever and I needed some Youtube advice to start playing. After couple of weeks I am able to make sounds including bending, but not playing of course. Harmonica is comfortable to play, all contact sites are smooth. For some time I was having suspicion, that something is wrong with 3rd hole draw, the sound was much less clear compared to 2nd or 4th hole and with bending fainted even more.So I blocked out two holes on either side with plastic tape and the 3rd hole was howling like the ship's horn all the way down and up the bend consistently. So nothing is wrong with the harmonica, all I can blame is my poor playing technique. Moreover this experience showed me the trick how to get perfectly clean isolated draw bend for recording.

Great traditional blues harp
Nobody2852 16.02.2014
Over the years I have tried a big bunch of different blues harps but none shook my tone bones like this little piece of South German craftsmanship.

You get all the comfort and playability of modern acrylic comb harmonica at the round and lofty sound of a wood comb. The "mouthing" is much nicer than on the Marine Band standard harps due to the sealed pearwood comb.

Today, there are several providers of sealed wood comb harps, but back in the day this was the very first non-Custom-Shop harp with this feature and I stuck to it ever since.

Unlike harps like the Bushman Delta Frost or Lee Oskar with the lids recessed inside the acrylic comb, this harps gives a nice and direct, natural feel, without being uncomfortable.

Almost Perfect

Great sound, great feeling. I prefer the sound of the Deluxe over the Crossover.
Not good as the Crossover about construction, and maybe material, but a better warm sound and it's a lot easier to play.
This is the harmonica sound!

Great G harp
Rychubil 26.10.2020
Great bluesy, gospel sound. IMO typical classic harmonica sound. Great for deep chords and nice bends. Worth even more than this price.
