The quality is cheap - plastic

I didn't like was the strong plastic smell.

It's like new car smell, if your new car was made of cheap plastic and you had to suck on the steering wheel

All of the harmonicas have an unbearable plastic taste that completely engulfs your mouth when you inhale

The harmonicas themselves are about 70% as loud as high end harmonicas, a bit harder to blow, and the black casing of each harmonica is soft plastic

They are made of cheap plastic and give off a very airy sound

When it comes to bending a note, you might as well heat up the cheap cheap plastic and start pulling down on both sides, you'll have a more successful bend that way

The only good thing about these is that they are the less abrasive plastic combs.

The outside shell is really soft plastic instead of metal, the sound quality is not dependable

These are just very cheap plastic harmonicas

at 20$ that breaks out to about $3 a harmonica, it sucks but a $3 harmonica would suck anyways so its fair, but it has a nasty plastic taste and smell to it

Cheap plastic, several of the note holes don't even produce sound.

They have metal reeds, but the outsides are a bumpy plastic that doesn't feel as comfortable against my lips

I like the smooth plastic shell on each because sliding up and down the scale doesnt hurt my teeth!

The quality is bad, and the roughly textured plastic made it hard to move from note to note.

Plastic, sounds like a toy.

Some other reviewers commented on the foul, plastic-y taste and smell

The plastic was overwhelming and very difficult to blow or draw.

They also have a terrible plastic/chemical taste and smell

I kinda wish they were metal instead of plastic, but my husband likes that the plastic isn't as cold.

Cheap, lightweight plastic.

The plastic is pretty cheap.

The plastic DOES stink a bit and if you are sensitive to such things, it may bother you

Cheap price, but plastic

When it comes to bending a note, you might as well heat up the cheap cheap plastic and start pulling down on both sides, you'll have a more successful bend that way

The harmonicas are just cheap plastic toys

You get what you pay for, and unfortunately what you pay for is cheap plastic.

Plastic and the reeds are already being blown out after a few jam sessions

As for playing, the plastic can burn my lips if I play them too much, which I don't.

The plastic has a smell and a taste.

I found out that the harps are cheap plastic ones, made in China

I thought that the plastic would sound weird, or be out of tune, but these are superb

Very poor quality and you can't get rid of that plastic terrible smell, like they have sat on the dash of the car for a week in the sun.

These harmonics are extremely cheap plastic, and VERY hard to play.

These harmonicas are actually not bad, but they're made out of cheap plastic and are super light.

The covers are a really cheap plastic and your mouth will not slide against it.

They have cheap plastic covers that are kind of scratchy to the

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

Left a weird plastic like taste in my mouth.

Cheap plastic made but after playing them for awhile they start to sound good

These are good quality plastic harmonicas in a handy, useful case

UNBEARABLE PLASTIC TASTE

Cheaply made, very strong plastic-y smell and taste which makes playing them unpleasant to say the least.

that is, up until you feel dizzy from the smell of cheap plastic (about 15-20 seconds)

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

I'm giving one star for the carrying case and the decent C harp

The C has the same numbered base plate top and bottom, so the numbers are totally opposite on each side

The c sounds bad

I bought a nicer C & G harp a few months back to play with my guitar, & my kids could not keep their germie mouths off of them
