Hohner Meisterklasse MS C

Great quality

In terms of build quality, this harmonica is second to none. In terms of sound, it has a pleasant, precise and bright tone. It is a very nice Harmonica, as opposed to a harp you can get down and dirty with the blues. But it is not made for that. Of course, it depends on what you need. If you want a well-made, professional standard harmonica then you cannot really go wrong with this one. I do not use it all that often because I play the blues.

Hohner Meisterklasse MS C

This is definitely better than a standard Marine Band, Blues Harp or Special 20. Good response and features, but bending notes not as smooth as I would have expected. Requires more effort than I would have hoped and as a result sound a bit 'breathy'

I'm also testing the CA Seydel 1847 as I'm upgrading all my harps.

I have to say that for me, the CASS 1847 is better than the Hohner.

Top shelf of Hohner

I have been using Hohner harps for few years now and tried majority of models produced by them. Meisterklasse is without any doubt the best you can go for - by far. It sounds absolutely amazing - both acoustic and through mic. Also, very importantly, Meisterklasse harps last for very long time which make them excellent value for money.
