East top Chromatic Mouth Organs Harmonica Key of C,12 Holes 48 Tones Chromatic Harmonica Mouth Organ Musical Instrument for Adults and Professionals with Black Cover(BK)

Effortlessly playing instrument.

After one year I would like to say.... "Nice and value for money. .." Sound is so good in non valve harmonics ... Vry good for practice. .. Can be use as practice instrument

Melody n sound is good but it requires too much air for me. My hands find it hard to control the sound properly due to the large gaps at the back. Otherwise a fine instrument .

The media could not be loaded.  Product is good but not that deserve more than 2.5k, hence it's an overpriced item. All holes are playable with less effort due to good air tightness even without valves. Tonal quality and loudness of sound is good too. Mouth piece and holes in it are round in shape which feels better in mouth and have low friction due to quoting on it. It's a bit heavy instrument in weight. It is properly tuned except for the c# scales B5 in my case which may be instrument specific. Plastic case is good and padded inside properly but it can not be opened easily with a single hand. The slider is butter smooth for first few days then become normal but still smoother than low end 24 holes Harmonicas. Slider engineering is poor and it does not fit properly inside the mouth piece and makes noise tikk tak inside the other end of mouth piece when you shake the slider(without pressing it) by holding with button and the slider spring takes a bit to move the slider after you press it. However the slider makes minimum scratch noise when moves inside out due to padded mouthpiece screws, but it touches and makes some bad noise near the end of mout piece just before touching the end screw, this is because the slider spring has no provision to be attached in the center of the slider. Padded mouth piece screws created a problem that the slider holes become slightly unaligned from round holes in the mouth piece but it channelize the airflow in a way that reed responds quickly with lesser air but I bet that those pads in the screws are a later enhancement after design and design was not improved with it. The slider is not reversible which is also a cons. The body is very sensitive to heat and it becomes warm in seconds when you keep it in sun light. Comb seems to be nice and made for air tightness which gives nice reed response without valves.So, this is entry level over priced budget harmonica which you can use to enter into the world of chromatic harmonica, can learn techniques, use of slider function, and since it covers all three octaves (lower, middle and higher) you can play almost all the melodies and music composed with even chromatic notes. Professional won't like it i bet but this is a good to go instrument for beginners and intermediate skilled players.

Couldn't even imagine such a smooth harmonica in this price . It's very smooth while playing....sound is also sweet n sharp.lokks like costly harmonica.sturdy built. Its more then my expectation.

Sound quality

Price slightly high but the instrument seems to be getting better with use.

If your are interested in playing harmonica just buy it, you won’t need another one.
