case is good, harmonicas not so much; don't like the feel/taste of the plastic though sound is OK considering price; recommend getting higher quality harps

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

Very good sound with no bad taste or odor.

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

They do have a funny taste at first, but it goes away the more you use them

Also they have a very bad taste

Funny smell/taste, weak

They have failed, plus they have a very nasty smell and taste to them that I dont

The main problem I have with these harmonicas is that they leave a bitter strong taste in your mouth.

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

They also have a terrible plastic/chemical taste and smell

This smell permitted the harmonicas and left a bad taste in the mouth when you played them

but I found these harps really do have a horrible taste and leave an after taste

They corrode easily and leave a nasty taste in your mouth as I said before

I am seriously afraid that I am inhaling dangerous substances due to the STRONG CHEMICAL AND PLASTIC TASTE of these harmonicas.• CHEAPLY MANUFACTURED

The main problem I have with these harmonicas is that they leave a bitter strong taste in your mouth.

And the plastic has an awful chemical smell/taste.

I will say, these harmonicas get 5 stars from me because I hate the taste of pennies in my mouth after playing most harmonicas

anyway this set is worth what you pay they are made of plastic but there not made cheaply they do have quality to them the only problem i had was the funny taste they leave in ur

I tried washing them with water and soap, but the taste is still there, strong as ever

OVERALL:These harmonicas work, but the horrible taste, poor construction, and playing difficulty make this a very poor product.

However, the taste and smell of the harps makes me sick to my stomach.

I thought, "the taste can't be that bad.

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

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

One negative was the taste of the plastic/metal

These are poor quality, out of tune, and like some others have mentioned, have a terrible taste/smell.

The bad taste was gone, but at least a couple of them have some notes that won't play

They might play ok after some breaking in but the taste is so bad I will not attempt to break them in

And they leave a bad taste in your mouth

I often give cheap harps away to kids to play with but due to the bad taste these harps will not be given away

I should not have to wash a bad taste off of a new harmonica.

UNBEARABLE PLASTIC TASTE

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 realized I also love the keys E and
