I've left the case open to air out for 3 months now and it still stinks.

They take too much air to play, lose notes, and sound cheap

As stated in other reviews expect one or more not to work (too much escaping air)

Some reviewers said that the plastic construction is what causes the leaky air flow, but I tested that theory by putting tape over the seam between the plastic and the reed chamber, and the results were no better

Also, they have a little weird plastic smell to them, though I think airing them out might solve the issue

Too many air leaks

Terrible sound, leaks air everywhere, weighs about half as much as the nearly as cheap $8.00 Chinese made Blues Band or the Old Standby

The idea is that when you blow or draw through the holes the air causes the reeds to vibrate

they leak air, and some don't even work.

They're completely made of plastic, the holes are small, the high notes require more air to get any sound out of them, and overall sounds bland

The air is as loud as the note being played

I found the dead spots and leaking air issues so many others posted about

Three out of Seven worked, but the other Three had several bad reads Which I could possibly fix if I were to take them apart, however they leak so much air anyway, I found no practical use in doing that

I tried leaving them out in the fresh air and sunshine, which did not get rid of the smell, so I washed them in soap and water, which also did not work.

Air leaks out everywhere, reeds don't all work in both

I would also recommend this to someone who wants a pretty good case but is on a budget, also great for kids, but I would be a little concerned about them inhaling the possibly harmful and nasty tasting air this gives off

Not as good as my marine but definitely usable

They make lovely gifts for me to give,a gift that keeps on giving, as well as they are a great entry level harmonica with seven different keys to choose from

Some of them will correct themselves as you play them more, but overall, do not waste your money on buying these if you intend to play them
