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

After recent heavy use some of the other harmonicas started to lose their notes as well

Thus the 5 stars even with the one bad note.

Extremely cheap quality and a several of them had dead notes.

You can definitely bend notes no problem, but the high notes squeak easily.

, they are quiet, you have to blow HARD to get good volume, notes bend awkwardly, and they are very unresponsive

i try blowing and sucking and some notes on c and g dont

What good is a harmonica that you can barely play cause it won't produce proper notes?

One of them is defective and plays wrong notes

I had one bad note on one of the harmonicas, but I think that it will work itself out with playing (had a similar issues with my golden melody and it is fine now).I agree with other comments here that there is a plastic smell / taste, but its plastic, you'll have

After playing about ten songs on the new G harmonica it lost its G note as well, which rendered it virtually unusable

The high and low notes dont even play unless you blow real hard into each end

The notes are slightly difficult to bend, but the reeds are still loosening up

You may find a few dead notes in this kit, because it's $20

On a better note

On a more positive note, the case is nice.

I also noted that the printing on the back plastic wore off fairly quickly, as well as the note designators

produces clear notes

Enough Backstory, on to the review: The F harp seemed to play fine during the show, but since then, I have a lot of dead notes out of it.

It takes a lot of effort to hold a consistent note with these

These things have a nasty chemical taste, half of the reeds don't work, the gold logo paint scraped off the first time I played one, and bending notes is near impossible

When i got them some of the notes were dead, some keys having more dead notes than others.

Some notes don't work at all.

I half expected dead notes from previous reviews, but not one on each of the seven harmonicas

The piedmont blues set was very difficult to play, lots of air sounding and it was difficult to hit a clean single note

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

These are pretty cheap-o.

I realized I also love the keys E and
