Relying upon over a century of German craftsmanship and tradition, this harmonica has been universally recognized for its full tone, musical range, and distinctive wood comb.

Review: Classic for a reason - It has been years since I played a Marine Band. I’ve been on plastic combs - honers, Seydel, and others. I wanted to give it a try again. Great old sound I remember from my learning years trying to imitate Sonny Terry. I am enjoying he return to wood.
Review: Best basic harmonica money can buy. - For the money, you can not beat this durable well constucted and reliable blues harmonica (I don't suppose you are limited to blues, but it's what I use them for). I still have a couple of these from the 1970's which remain playable. I wanted to freshen and enlarge my collection so I bought this Bb plus the 5 pack with the case. These are great harps, easy to play and bend notes, in tune and airtight. I have not one negative thing to say about them.
