Best Choice.
I play Harmonica with The Sunny Day Blues Band so I get through quite a few harps.
Over the years I've tried more expensive makes and models, with stainless steel reeds, valved, wooden/aluminium combs etc, hoping they will be better and last longer, but have always been disappointed with the results.
In my opinion, Lee Oskar's are the best value for money harps you can buy off the shelf. They are loud, have good tone, fast response and one of the easiest of harps to bend notes, so I especially recommend them for beginners.
The only other harmonica that I use regular is the Hohner special 20, which is very similar in all aspects mentioned, but the replacement reed plates that are readily available for the Lee Oskar, makes the Lee Oskar more economical.

Great Harmonicas
Got a few of these harmonicas now and although they can be relatively pricey they play and sound fantastic. The tone is clear, sweet and true. They sound great whether you are a blues player, rock n roller or a pop/rock player. When I first started using them my brother asked me if I had been taking lessons, I hadn't, they just sound better than most of the other harmonicas I had been playing. They are also really well made, I believe that all the parts are replaceable and for the money you won't get a better sounding or playing harp.

The best, I think.
I like these over the Hohner's myself. They seem easier to play, and and are slightly larger when you are holding them. It also says what key it is in on the front! so basic a thing, but so important. Why don't Hohner do this?

lee oskar major diatonic A
I always buy Lee Oskar harmonicas when an instrument needs replacing. I accompany other performers in a range of genres at least twice a week. Lee Oskar harmonicas give excellent sound quality and are great when used in conjunction with a microphone. They greatly enhance the group experience.I have never had a problem with this product-always dependable.

The best choice of harp
I have found Lee Oskar harmonicas the best compromise between value and quality.
They are airtight and loud. I think the reeds are the most durable on the market.
And the availability of replacement plates makes them economical.
