Although I haven’t opened up my Honner Blues Bender, externally the Sonny Boy Specials are identical in looks, sound, and playability. The only slight difference is the Blues Bender has the key stamped on the cover , and of course the Sonny Boy specials are about half the price of the Blues Bender.
Hi and great review which I've watched a couple of times now, however, what I would say is that the killer for me is that the 'Big River' turns out to be an even better harp than the SBSpecial. I was tempted to buy until that bit of the video. I have a few 'Big River's and I find them just about passable as a blues harp - I certainly wouldn't want to drop any lower in sound and playability etc. As you say, 'you get what you pay for' - regards, AL.
As i can hear really bluesman is much inferior than the other three harps.

What about bending on those two sets? Is it easier on Sonnyboy`s ?

@Dalsir1 The Sonnyboys is way better than the Bluesman - better engineering.

You should do a review of the Crossover (my apologies if I already posted that comment on another video).

I know Lee Oskar harmonicas tend to be a bit big for diatonics, but the one on the piano is huge!
