A solid, comfortable harmonica
Musical Alice 08.01.2023
The SCX-56 (and presumably others in the SCX series) feels solid in the hand, and well build. It's a pleasure to play, the reeds are very responsive, and the mouth piece is very comfortable.

I've had to adapt my technique a bit to get the high B (hole 12, draw) and the low E and F (hole 3, blow/draw) to sound properly. From what I have read in many places, this is normal - new players should be aware of this, some notes require a bit of shaping your mouth to sound properly.

As chromatic players know, you need to pre-warm your harmonicas to avoid stuck valves. I have found this harmonica to take a bit longer to warm up than my other harmonica (Larry Alder Pro 12) - though as it's substantially bigger, that makes sense.

The slider can get stuck after some weeks of playing, and needs cleaning. My other harmonica has the same problem, so I'm used to it, though I'm told some chromatics are more prone to it than others. For this model I would definitely recommend putting some oil on the slide to avoid this happening too often. Suzuki actually sell oil for this, though I've used generic oil which works perfectly well.

Of the two chromatic harmonicas I've used, this is definitely the one I'd recommend ! As for the question of going for 56 vs 64, I went for 56 as from what I see that covers most music I'm likely to play, without the added bulkiness of two more holes I'd only use rarely.

Un très bon compromis entre le SCX-48 et le SCX-64
INCOGNITO -:) 07.05.2023
Tout à été dit précédemment , c'est une bel instrument, bien réalisé avec un son rond chaud et puissant.

Le seul défaut se trouve dans la boite à l'endroit du berceau (velours) qui reçoit l'harmonica car c'est un plastique tellement fin qu'il est systématiquement cassé (problème vérifié sur le SCX-48 et le SCX-64).

Le fabricant devrait faire un effort sur ce point...

Un bon harmonica chromatique
Alain 86 03.10.2022
Le SCX56 est un des rares chromatique à 14 trous ce qui donne le même ambitus qu'un violon G3 à D7, très pratique
Le son est plutôt soyeux l'orientant vers le jazz , mais pas que
Qualités de fabrication sont irréprochables.
La solidité, on en reparlera dans quelques années
Conclusion très satisfait, je ne regrette pas mon achat
Merci à l'équipe Thomann toujours au top.

Suzuki SCX56
Altonas 03.01.2022
Ich habe mir die Suzuki bestellt, da ich oft die Noten unter dem C vermisse. Eine 64er wäre mir zuviel gewesen, aber das passt jetzt perfekt! Die Chromatik hat einen wunderbaren, weichen Ton, eine gute Ansprache und eine sehr gute Verarbeitung. Beim Spielen stört nichts an den Lippen, rundherum gelungenes Instrument. Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist super! Das Einzige, was man bemängeln muss ist, dass es in Deutschland meines Erachtens nach, kein Reparaturservice von Suzuki gibt. Also wenn eine Stimmzunge brechen sollte, war es das. Aber ich habe aufgrund von guten Bewertungen von langjährigen Besitzern des Slidemeisterforums dieses Instruments trotzdem bestellt.
