Instead of buying this one, save some money, and get a better harp at the same time: buy a Suzuki Manji

It was still nicer and probably played better than 75% of OOB harps, but when examined with a straight reference it was clearly bowed down the entire middle -- once corrected - it might be the best harp I have

The bamboo is perfect, because the Marine Band I felt was a bit harsh on the lips (I know all pro's disagree with me, because the MB is a legendary harp!

Fast Response to play fastThe Crossover harp sounds Excellent being played very quietly with very little air

Nice well-made harp, but at $70 I'm not blown away

Nice well-made harp, but at $70 I'm not blown away

Harmonica M2009 A] is the finest harp I've played in 30 years of blues playing

This is a great harp

Special 20 is a very good Harp, Just Not as Good as the Crossover for me that is

Good loud sound but not warm enoughas blues harp.

Use the belt loop if you want to look like a dork, or just put the pouch in your pocket to protect the harp and your cell phone.

RECOMMENDED THIS HARP TO ANY HARMONICA PLAYER WITH STRICT REQUIREMENTS

Having played different Hohner harps like the Marine Band and the SP 20, as well as the Tombo 12 hole chromatic and enjoyed all I decided to give the Crossover a try

Also, this harp, in my opinion, is uncomfortable to hold

Again this is a very comfortable harp to play.

The harp played every note nice and clear and loud!!AMAZING

I was blown away how much harder I had to play the Suzuki, and the same thing with my custom built harps, I'm really sold on these Crossovers!Oh

And cheap harps don't get you where you need and want to go.

With the Crossover, I know that if I blow a custom reed during a gig, my backup harp will be almost as good.

Generally speaking, this is an easy harp to bend, except for the 3 bend.

If you need a harp in F, get the Seydel because I doubt any other harp would play as well in that high key.

This harp is worth the high price.

Nice harp

The Blues Harp in C is a great sounding harp and it is a lot of fun to play, particularly the single notes, which are very expressive.

This is a great harp

Excellent 0-10my MS Blues Harp was at the bottom of the list for me, To me the Blues Harp, plays like a Much Older Model, the quality of sound is number one, then Playability and the Blues harp is just not

I don't know of a better harp at the price

I don't want to blow a harp after someone

This harp is smooth, intuitively responsive, and still rings like a bell

Just an awesome harp

This harp is far superior than a regular Marine Band (which I have previously preferred over Lee Oskars or Suzukis) or any other that I have purchased

My harp should have been a factory REJECT!!

This crossover is one of the best harps I have owned

I have had a good number of mouth harps over the years and this one is great.

Hohner's Crossovers are one of the best harps you can purchase right out of the box.

Hands down, the easiest harp to play in the upper register.

However, you might want to try the Crossover, which is also an excellent harp, just slightly harder to play.

Love the crossover harps

With the Crossover, I know that if I blow a custom reed during a gig, my backup harp will be almost as good.

Exactly what I expect from a Crossover, well built, great tone, excellent harp.

Very nice harp, love the swelled covers easy to grasp with a microphone, and they let the sound out better.

Only thing to be careful of is playing too enthusiastically, since they are more airtight, heavy playing can cause reeds to fail sooner than lower end, less efficient harps

But if you're looking for your first harp, make it easy on yourself and ante up for a quality harp that you'll enjoy playing on more - you'll spend more time with a good harp, and thus learn faster.

This is a very nice harp but too much treble sound, which is the only reason I gave it three stars.

I just play harp along with old friends for enjoyment anymore, but still appreciate the quality this harp has
