The Suzuki SCX Chromatix Harmonica surely qualifies as one of the most luxurious harmonicas you can buy. Gorgeous to look at, substantial to hold, and a pleasure to play, the Chromatix harmonica is are comfortable and completely airtight. S...
But the sound is higher quality than the 270 I feel, more comparable to the Super 64
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 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
The Super 64 has a much more solid feel to it compared to the Super Chromonica
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
I have Hohner 270BX-E Super Chromonica also, but this one is superior product then Hohner 270BX-E Super Chromonica.

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.
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 slide is practically noiseless...a great value for the money...for real

Crisp tone, nice slide action, beautiful to hold and behold
The slide is reasonably quiet and the whole thing is pretty air tight
I'm just getting used to round versus square holes, the slide is very smooth when pressed- no troubles there.
In short, this has to be the most comfortable mouthpiece I have ever played
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
This is by far the best chromatic harmonica I have played.
On occasion I have failed to get a reed playing well in these locations, but warming the harmonica has helped
This is a very serious and well playing instrument and stands apart from my other collection of chromatics under $200 unit price
(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

I own the Sirius too, and I find the SCX a better value for the dollar

The phosphor-bronze reeds are essentially problem-free, (which I'm sorry, but is not true for brass reeds which always seem to be fatiguing and breaking) and the instrument has fewer breath saver problems too, especially if you warm your instrument a bit with body heat for 10 minutes before you play

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)
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

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 own a set of cheap harmonicas in each key, and I discovered that the key of G sounds the lowest
Unless this particular harmonica is the only rotten apple in the barrel I do not recommend the Suzuki Chromatic Harmonica.
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)
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.
