An incredible bargain I've been wishing for a long, long time
The Hohner Bluesband harmonica 7 piece set with carrying case is an excellent bargain! Many years ago I first happened upon the Hohner Bluesband harmonica (which can be found in various music stores and toy stores for about $6), when I was in need of a harmonica to play and had left all of my Lee Oskar/Tombo harmonicas at home. I bought it thinking for $6 at least I could play a tune. Surprise, surprise when I started to bend all of the notes for blues riffs. No stiffness. A lot of flexibility and the harmonica reeds endured many months of constant blowing. (It brought back memories of buying Hohner Marine Bands in the 1960's for $2,50). BUT unfortunately this harmonica only came in the key of C. From time to time I kept thinking...why doesn't Hohner make this harmonica in all the other keys. They would make a fortune...a harmonica for twenty to twenty-five dollars less than their Marine Bands which could be used as a practice and backup harmonica, put in your pocket wherever...

Pretty good harps, Awesome case, but the keys wash off
I've been needing some new harps for a while, mainly because i had one C harp, and i wanted some in different keys. The one i had a was a Hohner Special 20 that's been kind of abused to be honest ( dropped, dented, gotten things caught in it, etc.)so i can't really compare the two's quality seeing as how my special 20 is in the condition it's in. but right off the bat when i played these, i could tell they are pretty low volume, but that's to be expected from $5 harps. Bending is relatively easy, and it doesn't take too much air to get the reeds to play. the only major problem I've encountered is that the keys are printed on the front of the comb, this causes the keys to completely rub off after a few times wiping the spit off the front. I'm predicting that this is gonna be quite a problem once all the keys wash off and i cant tell the difference between my G and my A.. all in all though if you need harps in different keys, for a good deal these would be your best choice...

Does the job well for cheap, but requires a bit of work
