Suzuki C-20 Olive Bb

Great build but cover plates let it down

As someone who normally plays the Suzuki Manji harmonicas, I was intrigued by the Suzuki C-20 Olive as a more affordable alternative. The dark green cover plates looked cool and the reed plates appeared to be the same as the Manji, but unfortunately, the sound quality fell short. The Olive harmonicas had a more closed-in sound, and the green covering didn't allow for the same level of speed and ease of movement in my mouth, almost sticking to my lips.

While the Olive harmonicas may be a decent option for their reed plates, I don't think I would buy them again for regular use. As someone who values sound quality and ease of play, I would stick with the Manji harmonicas.
