Reviews around instrument (5.00 of 5)

  • Both brands are really fine instruments that I clean meticulously after each use, and with the plastic combs they are so comfortable to play and easy to clean that they just gleam, after a quick cleaning of the outsides, with just plain water on a paper napkin.
  • As a professional Harmonica player, I've found the Lee Oskar harmonicas to be a superior instrument

Reviews around brand (5.00 of 5)

  • I have run into people that swear by Lee Oskars who are great players, and I believe that differences in throat construction and embouchure tendencies make buying harmonicas too complicated to recommend a single brand.
  • That other brand likes to keep it a secret (although it's a good product).
  • Bought this for my husband, he loves this brand of harmonica.

Reviews around bend (5.00 of 5)

  • bending is not as easy as it appears
  • Full sounding, with easy bends
  • If you want a fat tone I'd recommend Bushman Delta Frost; if you want easy playing and easy bending, I'd go for the Suzuki Bluesman (my personal fav.).

Reviews around tune (5.00 of 5)

  • The standard tuning major diatonic, or blues harp, comes in 14 different available keys, but also available are harmonic minor (12 keys), natural minor (12 keys), and the Melody Maker (5 keys) with which one can play standard melodies for country, R&B, pop, african and reggae
  • Although a little bigger than my Rocket Harmonica they seem to be better tuned, but not as loud
  • They" say you should probably start on a major key of C when learning how to play the harmonica but this A key makes any and every tune sound soooo much cooler

Reviews around tone (3.37 of 5)

  • It's a shame because everything about these harps will convince you that they're serious and will produce a huge fat tone with the oversized holes and huge reeds, but at the end of the day when you put it through an amplifier, it just doesn't sound good
  • If you want a fat tone I'd recommend Bushman Delta Frost; if you want easy playing and easy bending, I'd go for the Suzuki Bluesman (my personal fav.).
  • Draw on 3 is near impossible to get a clear tone and it squeals if you draw hard
  • If you want a fat tone, this is not going to make you happy
  • Did I say it has beautiful tone that I like better than the Hohner Rocket
  • Read remaining 10 reviews for tone

Reviews around reed (3.22 of 5)

  • I have about five of them, in different keys, that I have played all, almost daily, and in 6 months I only developed one bad reed, which I was able to adjust myself
  • they sound great, they are durable and the reeds are replaceable.
  • Good sound, replaceable reeds, what is not to like.
