Great sound for a fair price

This really is a great set of harmonicas. You get the full spectrum of sound and can practise playing all the different Chords and mulit harmonicas so you can jam and make a full 2-3 chord song.

I Love it. The design is also good compared to it is plastic. But I do miss the sound of a wood designed harmonica.

But super set, especially for beginners =) Thank you!

Great for club shows

I am a folk/acoustic punk musician. I use these mainly for small melodies inside the songs. Nothing fancy. I have these for about six months and I like them very much. Of course, I can feel the difference between them and the Hohner ones I have, but for the small gigs I do, these are perfrct. The set is perfect, because you can have a harmonica for every song you do, no matter of the key. Good quality. Good sound.

Just fine!

I bought this set of Harley Benton harmonicas to fulfill my passion.

They are easy to play and sound impressively good for the price and comes with a nice case.

This set of harmonicas is absolutely unbeatable for the price!

Surprisingly incredible!!!!

Afeter a long time, I decided to get back to practice my blues harmonica (my main instrument is elec.guitar) - I have bought some harley benton guitars and thought they're pretty decent... So, I decided go back to harmonica, and found this lovely box with the all 12 keys for a unbelievable price... I must confess I wasn't 100% confident as I found this "too cheap"... When it came home, it was a lovely surprise... a beautiful case, with a immaculate finish... and the harmonicas surprised me with a beautiful tone (to be honest I think they sound better than the "entry-level" Honners, and really close to the top ones)... I've checked with my electronic tuner, they were all in perfect pitch... and I asked myself the same question as when I bought my Harley Benton guitars: How can a cheap instrument delivers you this great quality, and sound better than many expensive ones? Give yourself a chance and be surprised!!! Now, low budget is not anymore a barrier for you to get an instrument with a good sound quality. Thank you Harley Benton!!!

Great

Great pack with great quality

After a while, I noticed that some of the notes on several harmonicas are not playable. When you blow/ draw on these, you cannot get any sound. Either they were faulty when I received them or they got damaged over time, although I did not use them at all. So the latter option is rather improbable.

High quality and affordable

Comes with 12 great harmonicas in a very nice box. Very much worth getting this instead of buying individual harmonicas, and they sound good too.

Good, but not enough

Nice gift set, but not high end!

Kids can have fun, but no studio use!

Obviously really bad

No surprises here. All of the harmonicas were severely out of tune and therefore unplayable. Buying them was my mistake. Not suitable for performance or recording.

Too low quality for me

I was aware that I was buying a low quality product, given the price and the quantity of harps... but when it came and I tried playing I was rather disappointed. I am not a pro, but I can do most bends properly and play nice melodies. With these I could do none. And they all tasted heavily of a petrol-derived chemical. I tried washing them, drying them and giving them another chance but I ended up giving them away (some) and the rest to the yellow container.

not a professional kit, but it is good

it is not as resonant and loud as well-known brand's harmonicas. but it does not look cheap, tuned ok, without any dead reeds . good for this price

Good budget set of blues harps.

I bought these as I needed to be able to cover all the black note keys when guitarists use a capo. They are well made, the case is well made and fits. The harps are not as good sounding as the Hohner harps, but they are a fraction of the price. I have gigged them for four or five years now, and they still work well.

Not bad, good starter pack

These are pretty good. It's a nice set, nice box. The harmonicas are little trebly but do the job. I have used a few of them a lot in the last year and some have had to be replaced as they now sound a bit weird. Still a good buy for a beginner.

Great set for beginner...

Bought this as a present for my son who wants to develop his blues harp playing.

The set of harps cover all keys and come in a sturdy carrying case. Sound and playability seem fine (I am not a harp player myself, but I love blues harp?

A more experienced player might be able to point out shortcomings. However, this seems like a good move for someone wanting to step up to playing in a the context of a band,

Very good

I'm not an experienced player so perfect for me on a bugget . I use them live can't complain .

Very good for the price

I bought this set quite a while back, and have been using these harmonicas in live environments since the purchase.

For the price, this is phenomenal, and it is very handy having choice of key.

I know many musicians who never use harmonica due to the expense and the effort of buying harmonicas in the suitable keys.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is interested in playing harmonica, either for fun, or for adding to your live arrangements.

The best kit for beginners

I bought this kit to learn how to play blues harp and I believe it was a great purchase - great value for the money and the best option out there for beginners to learn.

The best thing is definitely that you get all 12 halftones, so you can play along any song. That's a great way to practice.

The sound is good, given the price (for the same price you'd get two harps of another brand, here you get twelve), but if you'll start using it often you'll probably need to purchase better ones.

The response is good, it's easy to learn to bend the notes, cause they are quite thin.

The finish is not the best, has a bit of sharp edges - because of that my mustache always gets stuck between the plastic and the metal.
