These sound great played quiet or Loud.

The finish allows smooth movement and the reeds provide an easy-blow a pure tone whether playing classic, folk or Blues.

So much better than the Suzuki aluminum Promaster, which tends toa bit of harshness in the high notes and is not nearly as sweet playing as the Hammond

Update: 1/02/15 Been playing this Hammond in Key of A every day what A GREAT playing harp the Hammond is, the sticky #10 hole, Is totally GONE and is Not a problem at all it is just a fantastic playing harp

These sound great played quiet or Loud.

That being said, this is straight up one of the best harps I've ever played

Just started playing it, and wow, this is the best sounding, smoothest playing harmonica I've ever put my mouth

The harp is easy play.

Mostly the sound is as good as with the C
