You can compare two harmonicas - basic melody - playing in G major - Lee Oscar diatonic, then travel to in A major - play the A major diatonic Hohner - personally, I play better on Lee Oscar ... :-)
Lee Oskars. Never been happy with one yet. Too stiff, too bright, hard to bend, too airy, and I have had LOTS of problems with the number 7 hole in every one of them. Even after buying new reeds. I gave them to some kids. I like golden melodies and I play Huang's a lot. cheap as hell, play and bend easy. Have a blow out and get a new one of like 11 bucks. but honestly, I have a set of them that has lasted and play less stiff then my special 20s. Cheaper doesnt always mean sucky
@itsdandamage I am about to buy a harmonica.. I am soo confused. can you give me an advise please? whats better the special 20s or pro harp? as a beginner is the lee oskar major diatonic a best option? what is it then please?
ok, I just got one of these in key C. Problem is that the note when blowing #3 is EXACTLY the same when drawing #2. Is this normal or it's out of tune? - beginner...
I've been playing harmonica for a very long time and i have to say these harmonica have very poor tone. this guy is just lying to say they are the best crafted harmonica cuz they most certainly are not, they are very airy so you have to use a much harder breath so you have less control.
You know I had the same feeling when I went to a shop to pick my second harp. I took Oskars` in key of D and it sounded like...what? Where`s the blues? This harp is bright, too bright and neutral. Even Chinese Suzuki are so much better! Which harps do you prefer ? I already have my opinion, but curious about yours !
i've been playing golden melodies for a while, they tend to be more air tight and overblow more easily but they also sometimes get that squeel on the overblows. I was pretty impressed though with the suzuki manji advertisement video on youtube and am going to order on and try it out.
Well, suzuki`s should be good, I have one in A, sounds like an accordion :o)
Well for my ears one of the best are Brasilian Hering harps. You might check one video it`s called GAITA DE BOCA - BASE PARA IMPROVISO, I guess I never heared sweetest tone than this. Too bad those are hard to get (even from Ebay) as I live in little country. It`s good that I have friends in UK.

I have to assume your glowing review of this harp is somehow related to your removal of szalmalevente's comment.
