Harley Benton Blues Harmonica Set Reviews

Excellent harmonica set

I bought these harmonicas in 2007 and have played them on and off since then. They are still holding up well, even after 10 years. Box did fall apart this year from use but the harmonicas are perfect

Harley Benton Blues Harmonica Set Quality.

When I first got this set I couldn't believe the beautiful presentation case in which they came in. They also come with a special high quality cleaning cloth, to keep them in pristine condition.

The harps themselves completely took me by surprise, as they are of supreme sound and quality. They produce the same result as their more expensive counterparts. Yet they are very reasonably priced and give superior sound satisfaction.Each harp is still in the same condition as when I first got them. I would strongly recommend this beautiful set for the learner and right up to the experienced professional.

They are simply fantastic!

Good Set

I bought these so I could add some harmonica to by blues band's sound - I being the singer and guitarist. They were decent, but never really had the right quality to add anything substantial. I had much more enjoyment playing them by myself. The sound as decent and having the whole rang of keys was good for personal enjoyment and composition. I've had them a while now, and they've remained in tune I'm glad to say - because my last harmonica set went out of tune very quickly.

In short these are very enjoyable instruments, but probably won't do for any professional or even semiprofessional performers (such as myself).

Bad quality harmonicas

A had to throw out 2 of 12 harmonicas because they were totally unplayable. Features are OK. This harmonica set is not worth to buy, better save your money for quality instrument.

very good

very good product and perfect for this price

For those who want to start on harmonica... Best thing ever!

Bought this set for my brother to play and have fun exploring harmonicas. Since the set has all the tunings available you can easily get them to play to whatever song you wish. Out of the box they sounded quite lovely and still do after nearly 4 years. They are not professional but as a learning instrument it's fairly well priced and great overall quality.

Incredible priced learning harmonicas. All keys available so playing them to your favorite song is easy. Lasts for ages despite the humble value of the set. Recommended for beginners to learn the art of harmonica and are on a budget.

Bought as a gift

Bought for a beginner and couldn't have asked for more. Very happy with service, quality of product and after sale service.

Great overall purchase

It's amazing value for money. The quality is pretty good, and it lasts - I've had them for two years now, and although one broke, the others sound the same as they did when I bought them.

Nothing bad to say about this product at all.

Good enough quality, great value for money

I bought these harmonicas over a year ago and they're still playing well. I use mainly the G, D and C ones, and the others have been relatively untouched but nice to have them there just in case. For the price, I cannot fault them. They are quite light, and my G has become slightly out of tune, but not any more than I expected. The box they come in is of good quality too, and protects the harmonicas well. Overall, don't expect to get top quality harmonicas for this price, but if you're like me and like to experiment with different keys, this is the product for you!

Harmonica's

I've owned harmonica's before but this was my first set of all 12 keys. Very handy to have for playing songs in different keys and the harmonica set was cheap. Overall they are a bit quiet though and thin sounding but okay for a learner and home practice. Might not cut through in a gig though.

Harmonica set

A very nice set, I have only used the C and G live on stage.

But for a value set, work excellently.

Blues Hamonica set

You can't get better than this for the price. Tuning better than expected. Most scales are covered. I managed to get exceptable sounds from them straight away. Even the box is good quality. Service great as always.

Great set of harmonicas!

Harley Benton generally make good quality cheap instruments, and this set of harmonicas are no exception!

The instruments are housed in a sleek wooden box, covered in a smooth leather-eqsue material and lined with soft velvet. The harmonicas each have a slot so they can be stored together, and the box clips shut for safe keeping.

The harmonicas sound great, and play very easily - feeling smooth and responsive. Everyone who has used them has praised them and asked where I got them!

I don't play harmonica very well but it's great to have a set like this containing every key to keep in the studio!

Great value for money. If you are a very part time Harp user as I am. This pack is perfect, all 12 keys in a well presented protective box. I keep them in the studio for when I might feel some harp would help. Very handy. Good sound but obviously these harps will not be of the same sound quality as the more expensive products.

Would highly recommend this product.

Harley Benton Harmonica Set.

To be very honest I bought these harp set for its case.The reason is this set is very reasonably priced as compared to other Cases only.One will find it difficult to match the pricing of his set to any other.I do use th harps now and then and are my standby harps.I personally found it a little difficult to blow in comparision.

Inexpensive harmonica set

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.

These look Beautiful

I opened these with sheer delight, they just look so nicely presented in the their box I nearly didnt bother taking any of them out. But i did in the end and have to say they sound very well for a set of harps in the lower price range. and are perfect for anyone just starting out or would like a set to mess around with. Ive gigged with these and have no complaints

money well spent.

"...Blowing in the wind..."

My son has a crazy interest for any instrument, for christmas it was time for harmonica.

Without knowing a thing about harmonicas, this box seemed to be spot on, all keyes covered, nice box, nice price, great!

Also bought one of these "around-your-neck-harmonica-holder", now it sounds like I'm having friggin' Bob Dylan down i the basement, love it!

H. B. blues harmonica set...

I ordered these for a friend who wanted a matching set of harmonicas to enable him to play in some of our unusual keys. We both listened to them and could not fault them for tone. They work out at around 3GBP each which has to be the bargain of the century....

Every key you want

I am a novice when it comes to harmonicas but when the chance came to have all the keys in one set I jumped at the opportunity. I'm glad I did because I bought them for less than they are currently priced and expect them to rise even more. One word of warning is I would be very careful and try not to drop them as doing so can damage their tuning which I found in one case. Overall a good purchase.
