Marine Band is IT
Well nothing wrong with the Marine Band Harmonica. Loud and great tone. But if you are a newbie my advice would be is to buy a special 20 because it has a plastic comb. Marine Band has a wooden comb (means good not bad), you can spoil it. After you master tough slapping and bending nothing puts you from using the Marine Band...The greatest of mouth organs for blues...Well some say the Marine Band Crossover but I am okay with that too

A proud possession
Its really a fantastic instrument to possess by any harmonica lover. Extremely easy to play, the sound is clean and sharp. But (as per tradition) the edges are a bit sharp an the covers (again as per tradition) are nailed to the comb. Undoubtedly one of the most famous harmonica model.

Good Sound
Haha... this is a beautiful sounding instrument. I laughed because I did not expect the sound to be neat. This is the right harmonica that beginners should invest in. You’ll love it. Helps you enjoy the process even more for the ease of blow and pull with that melodious sound. The price can be intimidating though

Good sound and volume, but will be difficult to clean
Beautiful piece with a beautiful tone, volume is also good but classic nail design will be incovenient for cleaning purposes..sometimes wood comb also leaves a woody taste in the mouth while playing draw notes...but may be that will change as the piece get played more and more...

This blues harp is matchless by its quality and by its superior sound. Go for it .... Amazon was just great. They delivered the product one day prior. I was looking for a Suzuki Manji or A Seydel as well, but unfortunately Amazon.in doesn't sale them. i would really be happy if i could buy them here in India through Amazon.

Its sound was very sweet. The chord sound is the most beautiful one ...
When I first hold this instrument, it was seemed to be a toy for its small appearance but while i put it in my lips the instrument responded something beyond my expectations. Its sound was very sweet. The chord sound is the most beautiful one of this thing. Moreover, it's bends are easy and one can pop up some Overblows also right out of the box and the octave sounds are also very good. As a whole, it is one of the best harp to me (mainly for blues).
