Suzuki Harmonica (SCX-48-G)
Color:G
If a harmonica can be described as luxurious, the new Suzuki Chromatix Series surely qualify. These 12, 14 and 16 hole harmonicas are gorgeous to look at, substantial to hold and a pleasure to play. Comfortable and completely air tight, the...
The same covers are used as on the 270, which makes it feel less "solid" overall than the Super 64, but also identical to hold as the 270
When I picked it up and put it to my mouth, I immediately felt that this was a Super 64 (but with only 12 holes, not 16 of course), and a much higher quality instrument than the 270 in terms of construction
The Super 64 and the Super Chromonica deluxe also respond well in holes 11 or 12, and I would say the quality of sound is comparable to these two
But the sound is higher quality than the 270 I feel, more comparable to the Super 64
The Super 64 has a much more solid feel to it compared to the Super Chromonica
I have Hohner 270BX-E Super Chromonica also, but this one is superior product then Hohner 270BX-E Super Chromonica.

by being sure I warm it up each time, I can manage to use it OK.It's a shame because both of these harmonicas have an excellent tone and the slide works very well

The Suzuki SCX-48 is a beautiful instrument with a nice round tone, comfortable mouthpiece, and more modern construction than its market dominating competitor, the Hohner 270 Super Chromonica.
Crisp tone, nice slide action, beautiful to hold and behold

I'm just getting used to round versus square holes, the slide is very smooth when pressed- no troubles there.
The slide is reasonably quiet and the whole thing is pretty air tight
The slide is practically noiseless...a great value for the money...for real
I own the Sirius too, and I find the SCX a better value for the dollar
I have Hohner 270BX-E Super Chromonica also, but this one is superior product then Hohner 270BX-E Super Chromonica.
(I used the Super Chromonica Deluxe in a show this summer, and will be using my Suzuki in a show this coming Friday), but given the price difference, I still feel confident that this harp is a great value, and it is a quality instrument, so I do not hesitate to recommend it

In short, this has to be the most comfortable mouthpiece I have ever played
This is by far the best chromatic harmonica I have played.
This is a very serious and well playing instrument and stands apart from my other collection of chromatics under $200 unit price
On occasion I have failed to get a reed playing well in these locations, but warming the harmonica has helped
Chromatic Harmonicas, one key to a Great playing Instrument is to Warm it this is very Important, to get a rich tone out of it and should be done often or as the instrument cools off because the sound starts to degrade as the instrument gets cold

Prima facie this harmonica seems to be a very good instrument

Comparing with Hohner CX-12 Gold it has more convenient mouthpiece, shorter slider, better tuning and cheaper price
So, my first impression is "I just bought a Super 64/Super Chromonica Deluxe quality harp with 12 holes, for the much less expensive price of a Super Chromonica 270
HIGH QUALITY 12 HOLER AT REASONABLE PRICE!First, some resources to help you with your search for harmonicas
I think it is important to compare these Hohners with the Suzuki, since you are likely considering the Super Chromonica, which is by and large the most purchased Chromonica given its long history and relatively inexpensive price (also assuming 12 holes are a must, and pretty much, 12 holes is the choice most players will make)
This is by far the best chromatic harmonica I have played.
The only thing I don't like is the valves stick if the harmonica is cool and you can't play it until it warms up enough to dry up the condensation.
Understanding that this is a 12 hole, and not a 16 hole, this harmonica is top of the line as far as I am concerned
I wouldn't recommend this for beginners who might be discouraged and think playing the chromatic harmonica is more difficult than it really is.
I have owned 270s which were very difficult to play holes 11 and 12 on (though good technique is and important factor here, so you can't always blame the harmonica)
Even after getting it warmed using hot pack, the sound becomes strange after a few blows in mild to cold temperature.
This harmonica produces a beautiful mellow sound and feels comfortable and smooth on the mouth when playing it
The instrument has a loud, clear sound and is well tuned
Pros: loud sound
I have the Super Chromonica 64 and think it has a great sound and good for bending notes but have not tried their keys seems like a different looking harmonica their key version
