East top Blues Harmonica, 10 Holes 20 Tones Diatonic G Key with White Cover, T008L Harmonica

I have used (and lost) Hohner and other high end harmonicas and, well, this harmonica is as good as any and better than most. Everything seemed well tuned. I have a long mustache and beard. Cheap harmonicas grab my beard. This harmonica is well built, well fitted, and there is no room for hair. I like the plastic comb. I have used wood comb harmonicas. They are fine until the comb swells from being soaked in saliva. This comb will not suffer that problem. The clear comb looks elegant, and the harmonica feels solid and heavy. I don't bend much, so I can't talk about that. I would recommend this harmonica to anyone, but for beginners, well, you might get this harmonica and never be happy with any other.

Nice heavy weighted harmonica plays and sounds as good as a horner

Bought a bunch, a favorite in my book!!

Tone is great. It has a bright color to the sound that my other harmonicas don't seem to have. Very pretty instrument. All reeds work excellent, most flawless harmonica in my budget collection right now. My Fender has subtle flats, my Seydel has mucky notes, my Swan takes a lot of air, but this is a joy all the way up and down the register. 2-year Addendum : Still has standout sound. Reedy and beautiful. This is my still my most expressive harp. Gold paint on the top has nearly completely worn off. That slick two-tone doesn't age well at all; what's left is kind of a sickly greenish-yellow and it does not flatter, one bit. That over the thick white paint makes it look like an old toy. Scuffed metal looks 10x better. Prettiest in tone, ugliest in looks after a while. Solid recommend for the sound and ease of playing.

Some reeds are a bit pitchy, but since it's not a Marine band, I accept that. Quite heavy for its size! Plays easily. Listeners say it sounds good.

Bad quality

Here's the deal fellow harmonica player's, this harp really has what you want and what you'd expect from a much higher priced instrument. I've been playing on and off for over 30 years and played the cheapest to the most expensive. This harmonica is right there just a tad benieth the $158 priced instruments. The difference is the amount of air for draws, bends and overblows. Would I use this instrument for your typical 4 night sets? My answer is two fold, 1 unfortunately for me I have COPD so for sure I'd consider two sets and that's saying a lot. 2nd if my condition was that of a normal guy my age then yeah I'd give it a go. My advice is by your favorite key and play it.

I have several Eastop harps in different keys. Played many different brands over the years, going back to the 1950's. Not a blues player and only play for my personal pleasure, these days, For my style of play, I prefer the Eastops over the other brands. All but one played well, right out of the box. It had a stuck reed, in the ten draw hole, which was easily remedied.

Trovo questo articolo magnifico, dal suono pieno e rotondo, una sonorità che chiama a suonare, a provare nuove sottigliezze, a tentare ogni nota per capire fin dove si può forzare. Ottimo lavoro, ottimo livello raggiunto da Easttop. Consigliato a chi sia già pratico dell'armonica ed abbia già frecce al proprio ARCO.

It’s perfect for a newbie like me.

I got the G, and this thing is so responsive. Notes almost bounce out, before I blow them. It's great. The volume is also great. I can keep it quieter in my living room, but crank it up when I'm in the car :) It also looks great. I love the clear comb. There is but one tiny complaint. The markings, fade. The numbers vanished after just a couple hours of playing normally, and the name seems to be going too. It's not a big issue, and I'd still recommend this to anyone.

joli son, très belle présentation

These are the best harmonicas for the price point. They cost as much as a triple set of guitar strings for (expletive) sake. I use these professionally. With plastic reeds there is less concern for drying etc. They play very well but I have to say, they don't take over-blowing very well. My first one lasted years with regular weekend gigs. Can't go wrong.
