    Hohner Piedmont Blues Harmonica Set

    • They still give a decent sound
    • The c sounds bad
    • a good sound!!I recommend this set for anyone who needs harmonicas in different keys and is not a professional.
    • They are nice sound is great
    • and you're a little curious what harmonicas in different keys sound like.
    • BUT I would say that they are most definitely a step ahead of the plastic Piedmont harps and would likely give a more enjoyable experience and cleaner, louder sound than the plastic Piedmont harps
    • The sound is pretty good, and to have a whole set for such a low price is great
    • I'm not saying I would play one on stage, but they give a decent sound
    • Good sounds, butnot quality made
    • this harmonica is junk.-plastic casing-very "soft" sound-NOT at all air tightI use Golden Melody harmonicas, but needed something to practice
    • They have a good sound like the pro's would have
    • They could never produce an even halfway good sound.
    • It took much less effort and had a better sound.
    • Great sound and fun to play!
    • Compared to metal, they produce a hollow sound and you have to blow pretty hard to get a good sound
    • The sound seems fine to my ear.
    • They are a little lighter than I expected, but so far at least, they have great sound.
    • By ease of use, I am referring the fact that it takes a LOT of breath to use the higher notes when breathing in, resulting in difficulty playing as well as extraneous sounds.
    • Even for a beginner trying to save money I wouldn't recommend these because the sound is so bad it makes it impossible to learn
    • Good sound and low cost but the smell and taste still strong after a month airing out on the counter
    • Sound is excellent, all the keys I need to play a long to whatever guitar, and the best thing is the case
    • When I blow on 1 and 2 sometimes the sound doesn't come out and I have to inhale on it hard for it to work a little.
    • but they take a lot of air to get a poor quality sound.
    • They sound "breathy", and take more air to make a clear sound
    • Even so far as just learning the proper sounds/techniques and finding the "sweet" tones on your bends, do get the better harps by all means, certainly
    • But if you just want to play tunes on the harp, these have a surprisingly very nice sound for the price.
    • The G harp 10th hole blow makes a wavering sound like a siren!
    • They are made entirely of plastic and getting a decent sound out of them is near impossible
    • Not to mention an abnormal, high-pitched, squeaking sound that accompanies them
    • Good solid sound
    • That said the sound is decent if you can get past the smell.
    • bad stuff, irregular and weak sound
    • they are not high quality as some of the others you would see but they are also not a typical dime store harp either, these harmonicas have a nice sound for being mostly plastic, and they are good for beginners not wanting to spend 50 dollars on a harmonica only to find out they don't like
    • The G harp 10th hole blow makes a wavering sound like a siren!
    • Really windy sounding and notes are really quiet
    • Very good sound with no bad taste or odor.
    • Good sound.
    • Although the body of the harmonicas is made of plastic, they produce a very nice sound and they are really easy to bend.
    • If I choose to continue to play, I will invest in a more durable set, but for $16 and over two years of use, these are excellent-sounding harmonicas and I do not regret the choice to purchase them.
    • Good warm sound, not tinny like cheap harmonicas.
    • These harps work and sound
    • There is way too much leakage to get a good sound.
    • Great sound.
    • It is too hard to inhale and exhale on the A, E and G. Uncomfortable to make enough sound to make a tune on most of them
    • Very nice rich sound and feel the balance vibrating on your lips
    • My husband loves them they have an amazing sound.
    • Anyone can enjoy the fun sound of the harmonica in 7 keys.
    • : This is a great harmonica set for the price great beginner harp and a great sound to add to your collection for more advanced players
    • Iam a beginner and it was hard to get good sound for me
    • Really difficult to get a good sound.
    • Good sound and low cost but the smell and taste still strong after a month airing out on the counter
    • By ease of use, I am referring the fact that it takes a LOT of breath to use the higher notes when breathing in, resulting in difficulty playing as well as extraneous sounds.
    • The sound isn't too bad, either
    • It took him a couple of weeks to figure out how to get the best sound from the Harmonica's, but he now enjoys them greatly.
    • Some are not so good, with an occasional dead reed and/or a problem where the player has to work hard to get a good sound out of it
    • Compared to metal, they produce a hollow sound and you have to blow pretty hard to get a good sound
    • The sound that sings forth from this set is incredible when accompanying other instruments
    • Great sound for the price also!
    • 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
    • Worst purchase I made all year, and I bought two one as a gift, I have played the harp since I was 16, I have played toys better than this, they leak, the sound is dull, they feel cheap.
    • BUT I would say that they are most definitely a step ahead of the plastic Piedmont harps and would likely give a more enjoyable experience and cleaner, louder sound than the plastic Piedmont harps
    • if weight and feel is a big deal to u don't get these harps, but,if good sound and value is what u r looking for, get them
    • The case is a very nice quality case, but some of the harmonicas, (E for one) are defective, as the 10th whole does not produce a good sound, just an ungodly screetch
    • Hohner is a well respected name and these entry level harmonica's have a good sound and were meant for those just starting out, who didn't want to break the bank.
    • They're plastic (which is what i'd expect at this price point) but they have a great sound and are perfect to learn on.
    • They play ok, but you have to blow pretty hard to make a good sound with these
    • The price and case is nice, but the plastic casing of each harp leaves them dull sounding compared to my other harmonicas.
    • the set came quickly and the sound is pretty good for the price i would recommend it
    • Not the richest sound and forget usable volume in all but soft environments but given that the whole set costs less than a typical Marine Band or Lee
    • As I improve, I intend to just start replacing the piedmonts with nicer, better sounding harps.
    • These don't bend, have a terrible sound, and take way too much air to blow/draw in order to have a decent volume.
    • Not only did this set provide me with that, but it is also certainly good enough for now...while the $30 each blues harps have a clearer sound and are a bit easier to bend notes, this $20 set is a great deal!
    • Aside from the fact of the harmonica being plastic, it has a good sound and is fun for anyone trying to learn
    • The read plate inside that makes the sound is made of brass just like any expensive harmonica
    • Extremely dead sound
    • They have good sound and great gift for my niece and nephew.
    • The sound is not good at all.
    • Bad sound
    • a bended note sound good takes away from what I'm playing on the guitar
    • The harmonicas have good sound, the hardest thing to get used to is the texture on the plastic reed covers
    • The piedmont harps are a little more difficult to get the right sound for me.
    • The sound is also horrible and they don't keep tune.
    • Sure the sound wasn't excellent, and they tasted a little funny at first
    • I had to blow extra hard to get a strong sound out of them
    • Dont get a Hohner Special 20 much better sound will work unlike half of these.
    • If they don't produce a loud sound that may be a good
    • I feel like I have to strain my lungs in order to get a decent sound out of these, and that creates some really bad habits for my singing voice.
    • These are pretty cheap-o.
