    Hohner Piedmont Blues Harmonica Set

    • I wouldn't care if these were the best quality harps in the world, I would not recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to feel like they just finished smoking a pack of cigarettes while playing them.
    • Extremely cheap quality and a several of them had dead notes.
    • I figured if I could learn to play a poor quality harmonica, I would be even better with a nice set

    • They're not good quality Hohners like Marine Bands or Blues Harps.
    • Hohner is a great brand but these harps are cheap quality
    • The reeds are a little stiff when they arrive, which is actually a sign of good quality
    • 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

    • 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
    • This is a great quality beginner set, perfect for learning players
    • If you want an inexpensive harmonica of decent quality, try the Hohner Blues Bender, or, better yet, the Blue Midnight Line (gig-worthy quality for a very reasonable price).
    • Inexpensive, and good quality, so for the price it is a good deal.
    • The Harmonica's are of decent quality and tone.
    • They lack tone quality.
    • Overall quality is lacking; cheap construction and they sound like toys.

    • I will now purchase them individually at better quality

    • Not very good quality
    • They are not very good quality and have dead reeds

    • Good quality for the price
    • The quality of the harmonica is quite poor

    • I’m happy with the set, worth the price for the product, but the quality is not the best.
    • The quality and tone are good
    • Should be evident in the ad that they are plastic and of bad quality

    • Never seen such poor quality that suggested it was worth more than a cracker jacks prize

    • Really, everything you've read so far about the poor quality of these harmonicas is true
    • At first I loved these before I became spoiled by trying good quality harmonicas

    • 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
    • so I didn't realize that these would feel very plastic-y and cheap
