Early in my instruction, I blew out several reeds in my inexpensive ($3.00) harmonica and at that point decided to invest in a quality instrument

Another advantage of the plastic and metal construction is that if you do clog the reeds (by forgetting to get the moister out) you can wash the harmonica out with water

It doesn't jam the reeds, they keep playing steady and true

BUT, I think I got a faulty reed because it will stick when I draw the 3 hole.

I've blown out a few reeds on the Hohners over the years, but the Oskars haven't had any problems

like I blow the reeds out of my MS blues harps so

Finally, if you break a reed there really is not reason to discard the harp since you can replace the broken reed with either the Hohner tools (pricey!) or tools from other harp makers

It is too bad replacement reeds are almost as much as the harp.

But i have lots of them with a blown reed after too little use

Sticky reeds

I did notice that over time I had to blow harder to get a good sound, even after taking it apart, examining the reeds, and cleaning them

but it's probably 10 years old and the reeds are weaker than my brand new Special 20

I have only own this for less than a week and the reed on the 4 draw hole is already blown

The title says "Minor C," which should mean the E (blow 2,5 and

Key of C first, then an A, D, G...enjoy!
