Harley Benton Blues Harmonica Set Reviews

A novices view....

As a novice just wanting to try out the instrument in different keys, this is ideal - very nicely presented too, with a practical lined carry case. Unfortunately my skill set is such that I cant give an expert opinion, but for a beginner like me its perfect. All pieces functioned properly with no dead notes and were nicely finished.

Unbeatable harmonica set at this price...

I bought this set of Harley Benton harmonicas because I decided I wanted to add a harmonica section to a couple of songs we are working on.

None of us in the band are pro harmonica players by any stretch of the imagination - hence why I opted for this very budget option - but we have added a few sections into a number of songs and they sound fantastic for what we need.

We find them easy to handle and to get a half decent melody part out of and for harmonicas that work out costing something like £2 each they give quite a thick and rich sound when coming through the PA system.

Expert harmonica players would most likely find them poor imitations and probably wouldn't be looking in this price range anyway - but for a group of amateur harmonica players to add a couple of harmonica parts into songs they are easy to play and sound great.

And with the nice little case for the price, absolutely unbeatable for the price!

Why use one key, when you can use every key.

These are great, just great in almost every way i can think.

Firstly, these were not my first harmonica. I snobbishly bought a different brand harmonica for about forty euro, a fancy little thing, because i thought you'd get a better harmonic if you splashed out a bit more. I lived blissfully in ignorance until i got these, and they're just as good as the more expensive harmonica i bought, and you get twelve of them, and in a sweet case.

There was no more saying 'hold up, we need to change this song to the key of c so i can play along' no those days were over because i had every key i need waiting for me sitting in their velvet little cubbyholes.

So if you want to play harmonica, buy these. They are a great deal. I'm still surprised that they are such a great deal.

Absolutely fantastic harmonica set

Very pleased with this purchase. It contains harmonicas in every key that is needed to play at live venues. They all work perfectly and produce good quality sounds. They are presented in a fabulous case. What more would you want? Definitely would recommend this product.

Harmonica Review

Great Set of harmonica's . Ideal for playing with guitar. great sound.

You get a lot for the money

With this kit you get a lot of value for the money. Almost insane amount of harmonicas for the low price that you pay.

For the price = 5 stars.

But compared sound wise to a quality harmonica there is quite some difference.

Great for beginners!

So I wanted to learn the harmonica. What is the best way to learn? PLAYING! ^_^

Having the full chromatic range available means that I can play along to pretty much everything!

Can't recommend this enough for beginners!

halvalla lähti iso kasa huuliharppuja. koska hinta ei ollut päätä huimaava, niin odotin myös laadun olevan samaa sarjaa. 6kk jälkeen yksikään harpuista ei ole hajonnut. vaikka harput ei laadultaan pärjää ammattilaisten suosimille harpuille niin iso plussa tulee määrästä.

Complete set, great for beginners

The Harley Benton Blues Harmonica Set contains 12 Harley Benton blues harmonicas in all keys. The price of £3 per harmonica is really incredible and unbeatable! Each harp has 10 holes (20 notes). The sound is OK regarding the price, perfect for beginners or allrounders. The case is nice for carrying them around or storing them. Professional harp players probably should choose harmonicas of higher quality.

Nice Back-Up but hard to play

I got this set mainly as a backup solution for the case of one of my regular main harps (Hohner Marine Band Deluxe) breaking during gigs and to have all different keys at hand for songwriting.

For that kind of purpose and budget, the set is pretty cool and the case is of a rather nice quality too, but you shouldn't get your hopes too high at this price level, as the harps unfortunately don't stand up against the competition in form of more expensive instruments.

They're pretty hard to play, especially when it comes to precise bendings. Sometimes reeds get stuck.

So if you know what you're doing and what to expect (or just want a nice case and take the cheapo haprs on top), go ahead an get it! If you're a beginner on the harp looking for something to start with, do yourself a favor and get a single blues harp around the same price, a decent harps makes learning much easier and a lot more fun!

Cheap harmonicas

This is an extremely cheap complete set of harmonicas and you get what you pay for. They don't quite sound like wooden ones, but still okay, especially for the price. At least, the sound resembles harmonica, which is a great start :-) Good for beginners, not good for experienced players who demand more than this set is able to give.

A must have if you're into Blues

I bought these because I'm massively into blues. They're perfect!! Every note is in there so you'll also be able to play blues harmonica in what tone you want. The cleaning is a brilliant idea as well although the fluff from it does run the inside of the case a bit. However, tone is what they're for so for that they're perfect. Very stylish case when closed too and extremely portable.

reedy

Lovely box and presentation, not the best harps I've ever played tone wise but for the price very good.

Suck blow.

I got mine for "stand'by" harmonica's, if one of my quality h'monica's breaks down/blocks up or blows out, but have found these are pretty darn'd good for working with too.

A little more effort is required to make them "ring", but they will "ring" as good as any. Tuning on these is very good too.

The box is super lush, need a carrying handle though! Treat them with respect (blowing or sucking carefully) and they will last a life time.

Superb price as these guys have to stand by their products, they have to be good. They are good.
