Blues Harmonica Set : Inexpensive harmonica set

10 years ago

I've tried all the 'cheaper' brands of harmonicas available and settled on these as being the best of them. The box is wooden, not cardboard or polystyrene, and should last a long time. When I started playing harmonicas I basically bought one each of the cheaper types, in different keys so see what I liked. I've settled on these. The quality is not quite as good as the £20 upwards price range, e.g. hohner sp20, or Lee Oskar, and I may replace ones that wear out with dearer harps, one at a time, but this is a great pack.

When I started I thought I'd only need about 5 harmonicas, A,C,D,E and G, but soon realized that guitarists capo up a lot, and C#, D# etc are getting as much use at the naturals. I've used them a a couple of gigs now, and I've grown to like them a lot. By the way, use a vacuum cleaner on the case when you get it - mine had a lot of loose bits of red pile from the lining inside.
