Reviews

not good for the money
Great little harmonica but comparatively speaking it doesn't stand up for the price. It is "old school" with wood comb but what is that worth. It is also nailed together and for half the price you can buy just as good a harp and for a few dollars more you can buy a special 20 which is considered by most to be the bench mark in inexpensive harmonicas. Try it, compare it to others like the suzuki folk master and let us know what you think.
