What our customer's say!

"hohner harmonicas", This is a really great set of harmonicas
great Christmas gift,I heard music all day

"very poor quality - 3 of them dont work :(", very poor quality - 3 of them dont work :( the ones that do work sound great but 3 out of 7 is too many to be defective :( prepare for extreme disappointment

"Great beginner set", This is a great set for a beginner to start learning without shelling out a lot of money, and have many keys to experiment with over some of your favorite CD tracks. If you progress and want to continue, you'll want to move up to higher quality instruments. If you don't take to it, you haven't broken the bank.

If I were an "experienced" player I wouldn't for a moment have thought that this was high enough quality for me at this price point.

If you're looking for a low-cost introduction to the harmonica, I think this is your set.

"A good starter set, great case, and a bargain price", As with other reviewers I would agree that this is a good set to start you off, and the case will serve as a good home for better harps and you buy them.

Try it out. As you find the keys that suit your needs replace the original cheap harps with better quality ones, but keep the originals for the keys that you don't use too often.

I'm very happy with this purchase.

"NOT ALL HOHNER DIATONIC MODELS FIT THIS CASE", Hohner Marine Band, Hohner Special 20 and Lee Oskar Major Diatonic harps fit well in this case. Hohner's Big River Harp does NOT fit properly in the case - it is longer than the others, and doesn't snug in. I'll either return the case or order two Lee Oskars to replace my two Big River models. Or, I can just deal with the fact that they don't fit quite properly, but probably "good enough". Decisions, decisions.

Haven't played the toy harps yet, first things first. I bought the case for the case, not for the included harps.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"A steal for someone just beginning.", I bought these probably about two years after I started playing harmonica just to try them out and I wish I would have bought them sooner. They feel good and sound good for a plastic harp. The reeds are a little weak, but I haven't busted one yet. I think the bendability of this set is great, almost effortless. If you are trying to make solid music of course you'll need a metal set, but if you are just starting out I think this is a great place to do it.

"great starter set", This is a great starter set for the new harmonica player. These are not the best harps out there, but you have a great range of keys to choose from. After you learn the basics on these harps and want to continue playing, buy a GOOD harmonica and playing will get much easier. The case is a great bonus!

"Great set and even better case for the money", This is the kind of set you buy along with a cheap 3/4 scale acoustic guitar to toss in your truck when you're going tailgating/camping and just want to have some fun without worrying too much if something gets lost or broken along the way.

First off, the case itself is worth the money this set costs. Holds seven harps securely, with a pretty solid exterior.

Now to the harps. I've been playing blues harp for quite a few years now. Are these as good as my Special 20's? Of course not. But they are certainly playable.

Every harp in my set worked. I can bend the holes on all the harps - even the high blow notes (except on the highest keys, but that's with most harps). My guess with people who can't bend notes on these is that their technique is less than perfect. This wouldn't be a great set to learn how to bend notes on, but if you already know how to do it well, they'll bend ok for you.

Yes, they are airy. Not so much as to make them unplayable though. They still give a decent sound. I'm not saying I would play one on stage, but they give a decent sound. Best I can tell Hohner took some of their standard reedplates and stuck plastic cases on them (Golden Melody I've heard, but can't be sure).

I honestly can't recommend these for someone seriously trying to learn to play, but it would be great for your kid to see if he sticks with it for more than a couple weeks. For serious learning, you're better off with one good harp than a set of subpar ones.

But just for fun, and a toss around set, these can't be beat.

Edit: as far as using the case for other harps, my Special 20's fit in perfectly, so I'm not sure which harmonicas the other reviewers had that would not fit.

"Better plastic please!", Good sound and low cost but the smell and taste still strong after a month airing out on the counter. I hope the plastic smell will fade soon.

I have a cheap HOHNER "POCKET PAL" and it's great a 5 STAR value for a beginner or casual user.

"Great Starter Set", It's got all the keys you need to play along with friends on guitar or piano. They are very lightweight, easy to hold and carry, with the bodies made of plastic. The sound is good, less "tinny" than the pro models, which is kind-of nice actually.

Then you can begin to upgrade the keys you find yourself using the most. Get Marine Bands or Big Rivers from Hohner when you are ready to get serious.

Note about the case: These harmonicas are slightly smaller than the rest of the Hohner line, so the case cannot be used for the better models when you upgrade like many have suggested. (I guess you could force them to fit, but I'm not a big fan of that kind of thing.)
