Harley Benton Blues Harmonica in C-Major Reviews
sounds and feels good
I initially bought this for my niece because I loved playing a harmonica as a kid. To be honest I didn't expect much when I first bought this, but I was blown away when I received it.
When I was a little kid the entry level harmonica's sounded and felt like a toy, but the Harley Benton Blues Harmonica had some weight and sounded nice.
I think I will purchase one for myself in the future.
Friendly little thing
These blues harps in C, good to play with songs in G, are the third more used for me: the ones I use more, for the Muddy Waters sounds, are the D and the A ones (respectively for use with A and E songs).
Nice price & quallity!
Nice price & quallity for a beginner in harmonica!
Very well done!
great for starters
Well, I have to be clear, I dont know how to play the harmonica. Thats why I wouldn't spend much to have one. I got this one just for fun. And worths every cent. I guess that someone who is seriously into harmonica would search elsewhere, but this is a great value for money for someone like me. Plastic case is a plus too.
Sound's like branded one
Having this harmonica for about 4 mo. At that time I bought this in order as companion while i am playing guitar. I might say this harmonica do good job while I am playing guitar, of course I use harmonica stand attached.
The sound we can easily control by the mouth in/exhale and responsive enough.
abouth the quality, i am quite doubt due to the material chosen. But so far, 4mo. still looking good. hope my doubt is wrong.
Overall, for those who are just or want to learn harmonica go grab this!
Cheap
sounds ok, a bit cheap/metaly, but again, it is cheap! decent tunning...
Very cheap and works fine
I bought this because I wanted to give harmonica a try.
Those Harley Benton harmonicas are really cheap and work fine, so they're the best to start with.
Best value
Hard to beat for the price, sturdy and nice sounding harmonica perfect for the beginner.
Good starter
Didn't know which harmonica to start with. Did a bit of research and came up with one in C Major. Good choice.
Good start
For this price it is a good instrument to start, to practice. Plays easily, well tuned. You can afford a hole set of these. Its not the top but affordable for everyone!
Good for trying out Harmonica.
This was really good for playing around at home, getting a feel for the harmonica. Not sure if it would be useful later on down the track.
It rattles a lot when lightly shook, pretty sure it's not supposed to do that. Some of the notes sound slightly off.
But, all in all, a great starter instrument for the price.
Great value for beginners
It was between this and a Fender harmonica, and I was happy I chose this one. It comes in a box which could do with a better catch but who cares for the money.n It was really nicely packaged and delivery was fast to the UK.
Not amazing but pretty super for the money!
Surprisingly good instrument
A surprisingly good little instrument. Especially good for beginners or young children.
Perfect to start
I bought this Harmonica to start play and a friend, that is a professional player, told me that the quality is quite good for the price.
Harley Benton takes also care about the details.
Raccomended for beginners or for very low budgets.
For beginners
For beginners and experimental or as a
substitute.
good for practice
A good practicing Harmonica for a very low price. Recomended for beginners.
great value for money
I bought two as Christmas presents for my grandkids, as they run of with my harps. However, I've now stolen both of them back!!!!!
great beginners harp, and for the money I don't know how they do it, these aren't quite pro / stage use quality and there a little light on tone but for home and practice use you cant go wrong..
good quality cheap harmonica.
a good quality cheap harmonica. I got a pair for my students, and I use the odd keys (F#, Eb etc) for things I don't have to play very often. These are put together with screws that go into other screws, rather than a small nut, and it is more tidy and easier to fit if you need to disassemble at any time to clean it out. They (all the keys) are about the same size as the Lee Oskars, and look and feel well made. They are NOT Lee Oskars, which are a lot better, but are the best in the price range I've come across.
neat and precise
nice tone and accurate key
easy to play chromatic runs
attractive to hold and looks good
well made with good materials - light but solid feel -
again Harley Benton thanks
- high quality at low price
Quiet blues
This has a broad tone, but without the projection that I am used to.
I do however look forward to using it for recording in real time performance as my regular blues harps are too shrill and aggressive next to the vocal microphone. The quietness and breadth of tone may serve me better there, than attempting to mute performance harps that are over loud for that purpose.
