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

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.

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.).

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

I bought this harmonica for my spouse and he loves it because you can replace the reeds as needed, sounds terrific and is a quality harmonica that should last a long, long time
This harmonica had problems with hole 2.
Great harmonica for everything, especially bending notes for blues
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
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.

Although the cover plates are stamped with a variety of different names for marketing purposes, all of these harmonicas have the exact same notation layout as the Lee Oskar Major Diatonic
The most important difference is in the quality of materials, construction, design and sound
Lee Oscars are the best harmonicas in the world, and that's not just our opinion
All over the world, professional players prefer Lee Oskar Harps over any other brand.
