Hohner Blues Starter Set Reviews

Great

A lovely pack,

Great sound,

Best quality,

Best price!

Very helpful set

I've been playing blues harp for a few years now, but i always had D and C tones. To know and play with different tones without spending too much money is what this set is put together for. The case is even better than I thought it' be. The sound of the harps is actually not cheap at all. I gave it a shot and I'm satisfied.

A bit Hard to blow but generally a pretty good sound. Have gigged 2 or 3 time. Not really a seasoned harp player but for the price these seem OK. it is a shame they take quite a bit of puff to get reasonable sound.

Got this set delivered just 3 days ago and the g harmonica has already stopped working. The 7 key hole in particular has decided to give up.

Not great sounding

Sound is not great, but I expected this considering the price

Good starter kit

Great value for a starter. The sound quality is reasonable it is is brilliant to have this kit to call on as it contains many keys.

Good Starter Kit

First set of Harmonicas I ever bought some years ago, and I was quite happy with them. They had a good sound for something so cheap, and lasted me a good while considering their quality and price.

They did their job well, as I learnt the different playing techniques on them with little trouble.

They even lasted me long enough to play live, before I decided to get some new higher quality ones.

One or two did eventually go out of tune and another did get damaged along the way - but this is only natural with a starter kit and may have been my own negligence in caring for them. Who knows? With the right care they might have lasted even longer.

Would certainly recommend these to anyone looking to start out harmonica.

Good beginners set

These set of harps are very good for the price range.

I bought these harps on a recommendation from a friend. I wanted to learn to play and these seemed like the best deal going.

They come in a nice case and cover all the major keys. For home they are perfect but not really suitable for live gigs, they lack the volume and punch of the dearer ones.

If you use them a lot like I did the key markings come off but that's not a big problem.

I would recommend these to anyone who is looking to start or just as a practice set.

Honer Blues Starter Set

Having never played harmonica before I absolutely love this set! There is a very helpful sheet that comes with the set that shows you the different scales for each harmonica. The carry case is also very nice, I really find this product 100% worth the money and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of starting harmonica or even for an intermediate player.

Thank you - Owen

I am not a serious harp player, but I like to play especially when jamming blues and such like. despite of my lack of expertise these harps really stand the test of time and are easy to transport and keep together in the case. Compared with a more expensive brand you can hear the lesser quality of sound, but for the price I cant complain. At this price I don't feel bad about cleaning the sand and beer off them the next day.

They seem to keep on working!

Lovely set

Bought them as an experiment ... Really like messing with them while I play the guitar... Good value set, I am not a serious player but they are great value for someone like me ... I reckon a real player would want to buy something better but if you're up for a bit of experimentation with the harmonica they are perfect./

great starter kit

these harps are great for anyone starting out, they have good tone, nice response and are an all round durable wee set, and lets not forget they come in a very robust carry case too.

So much fun

This is a great place to start if learning harmonic is your thing.

The sound from the harmonicas is great, I have used them both recording and live. Great to be able to own a full set at this price range.

All still virtually like news. After years of use.

recommended product.

Great purchase

I needed some harmonicas to record background sound effects in some songs I was working on, and this set is perfect! They are really easy to pick up and get a good sound out of, even having never played harmonica before!

My only complaint is that there isn't another set made in a minor key, as I need some more for new songs!

good for beginners

i bought this starter set after some latenight youtube sessions in january.

first of all: i was a complete beginner. i knew of the theory of course but couldn't do more than a few pentatonic notes when i started.

after a few weeks i started bending and trills.. that's when i realised the Starter Set is not Class A (didn't expect it for the price to be honest)

i rarely use them now but as a review for beginners: i'd buy them again. It's nice to have a few keys to choose from if you want to start harping with your amateur blues band.

But if you're ambitioned: buy a real hohner-blues-harp!

You get what you pay for, and that's allright.

Great Allround Set

This set of blues harps is equally great for beginners, musicians of other instruments that would like to diversify their talents or people who played harps in their youth and want to start playing this instrument again.

The harps come in a very nice bag that not only looks nice, but should provide satisfactory protection when on the road.

The selection of keys should cover most bases, so playing together with other instruments or in a band context shouldn't be a problem.

The feel while playing is very nice, and bendings are accomplished quite easily.

On to the few cons:

They could be a little bit louder, but nothing to worry about.

The reason why I only gave 4 stars for quality, is that these harps are of good quality, but obviously can't be compared to harps where one costs lots more than this whole set combined.

As I stated at the beginning of this: Great Allround Set

Alright!

For the price you pay these are ok. But as harps have no real kick or bite. The carry case is brilliant!

Harmonicas for a starter

Very good product. Very complete.

Not too shabby

For the price an excellent investment for anyone looking to get started with harmonicas and doesn't want to drop a load of cash. The sound and quality meet all expectations I had.

The fancier country blues ones (the Hohners with a wooden center) do sound better, but a single once costs about half the price of this set. FYI to anyone who only needs one!

no use at all!

I bought these for a guest harp player and pretty much every harp has dead reeds!havent bothered to send them back cos they were cheap and its too much hassle.u def get what u pay for.leason learnt.
