hohner gold chromatic cx12
353690
Although it is a fine harmonica, for 100 dollars less, so is the same one without the gold. It is not metal... it is gold fleck paint on plastic. I don't know if it will be any more durable when dropped. I did break a plastic one that way , but honestly this looks like it would break if dropped as well. If it breaks too than it is 100 bucks more for no noticeable improvement in sound quality. It is just flashy really.

Just received my Caramel Sapele Tenor Uke today.  Arrived in very good condition except for three little dings on the back of the neck.
These minor imperfections do not affect playability in the least. I am very pleased with the instrument, tone, overall quality of construction and appearance.  Lots of Ukulele songs to be found on Dr. Uke, get a ukulele, tune it up and have a ball.
My only regret is that the seller had to use USPS to get this uke to me.  Five or six days from China to Los Angeles, then held eight days by the USPS International Processing Center in LA.  I could have driven down to Los Angeles and back home three times in that time period!  Very helpful seller, quick to respond to any questions.

I was surprised to see these Chicago Blues Harps were still being made.. I had a few of them when I was in my 20s and found them to play well with a strong bright sound.. They cost more now but what doesn't... I don't think anyone else makes a better harp for the price.. I would buy a set of these in different keys if they were marketed that way.. They are really pretty decent for the price.

So-so melodica, nothing special. Hohner doesn't build them like they used to. Somewhat more expensive alternatives, but far superior and well worth the difference in price, are the Yamaha P-37D and the Suzuki M-37C.

I am very new to guitars and my favorite color is purple...so this guitar was perfect! It came on time and wasn't damaged. It barely needed to be tuned when I got it and sounds fantastic. I took it out that night and played live with some friends at a bar. It sounded great over the amps and I got a lot of compliments on how beautiful it was. Its not as bright purple as the pics show. It also changes color depending what type of light your in. Inside it looked deep brown, almost black, but at times it would look purple. The stings it come with are good. I'll use them till its time for a new set. It doesn't come with a case or anything, so be prepared for that.

Sound wise, its better than any other in its price range. The neck is very comfortable (i'm a women with small hands).

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase! Thank you!

Felt like it was time to upgrade to a fully loaded digital piano and Casio CGP-700BK exceeded my expectations. I have played the comparable Yamaha DGX-650B, a very good keyboard as well, however despite the fact that the Yamaha's piano sound was recorded from an actually Yamaha C1 grand piano, the Casio feels more like a genuine acoustic piano. Don't get me wrong, the Casio has an excellent grand piano sound and I think has a much more user friendly interface. I love the stand with the built in speakers it came with, and I even went ahead and bought the 3 sustain pedals (like a real piano) which was easy to install. I would recommend this piano to any music enthusiast. I will say though, definitely go to a store like Guitar Center and play the digital pianos first. $800 isn't a cheap purchase, so you want to make sure that YOU are happy with the way the piano feels since everyone has their own preference. I only played the Yamaha before buying this Casio and like I said, I chose the Casio because I read online that it feels more like an acoustic piano compared to the Yamaha DGX-650B and I can now say after playing the two that the Casio is better in that respect. I am satisfied with my purchase.

This is a lovely, well made chromatic harmonica with no deficits except what this particular player brings to it. 'Very nice instrument for the money and with waiting for if you want a chromatic with this particular (circular) tuning.

This harmonica has a plastic mouthpiece, and the holes are a little further apart than you may be used to. It has a great tone, and if you are a pro who needs to blow separate notes all the time, it is fine. I once owned one of these with the same chrome mouthpiece that comes with Hohner Chromonicas, and it was far superior to the Chrometta 12 C. However, I am still very pleased with this one, knowing I will never be able to get one of the old kind.

Very pleased.  Arrived undamaged, looks beautiful, has wonderful tone, and came with all listed parts.  Tremendous value for the price - easily the peer of $1,000 instruments sold at music stores.

I love this resonator so far.

A few things to know right off the bat about resonators, there are 3 different types of resonators; tri-cone, spider and biscuit. The G9240 as noted in the description, is a biscuit. But you want to know the difference in what your getting and why there's a difference:
- Tri-Cone - Nice and bluesy but with a little less attack and the tone tends to have a little more coloring. These tend to be more expensive
- Spider - These tend to be a little more mellow and closer to a guitar sound than what you would normally look for in a resonator. Great for country and bluegrass. It is described as more nasally.
- Biscuit - The biscuit is more the classic resonator sound and more akin to a Delta Blues sound. These tend to be a little more stripped down sound, which is desirable for a stripped down blues vibe.

About the purchase:
The resonator came quickly and well packed. I chose my vendor specifically as the Chicago Music Exchange (CME). I've physically been to their store a few times (and it is truly the most amazing store...go to their site, it's insane). Given what I knew about CME, I knew the instrument was going to be shipped in good condition, set up and inspected. CME did not disappoint. It was flawless. The only downside, the packaging, they do a great job of packaging. Problem, I'm still finding those stupid peanuts floating around the house! Small price to pay. The instrument came quickly. Also, CME does the courtesy to let the buyer know (with a sticker) not to open the box right away but let it sit for a day in the shipping box. Good advice, let it acclimate first.

Guitar Appearance - It's as pretty as the pictures. The deep burst finish is very striking, the actual finish is not glossy and the resonator cover is a matte finish which is really cool. Add the Mother-of-Pearl, headstock...a good looking instrument. The back of the headstock has a 'Made in China' screened on it which is a tiny buzzkill (not that we didn't know this but it is not the most graceful screen of a 'made in...'). Since no one looks at the back of the headstock, who cares.

Sound - It sounds exactly like you want a biscuit resonator to sound; loudish, jangly and delta bluesy. Like most resonators, the more attack you have in your picking, the more the 'resonatory-ness' you get. This is a good thing. It reacts to your picking attack. You can dig out a more mellow vibe with a little more finger picking and then go full on juke joint/barrelhouse with a solid pick attack.

Playability - With a quality CME set up, it played well right out of the box. The action was very comfortable for me. It was not too high. I did not want high action. Some folks do for slide-style resonator playing. This was not my desire. I would have done a square neck/lap version for that. This round neck was comfortable to play straight away and still good for slide playing. The neck is somewhat beefy. Not uncomfortably so and I think it is probably a good thing for the overall tone.

Build - I haven't found any issue with the build yet. I've only had it for a few days. I've been playing guitar for 30+ years and owned my share of great instruments. Since I was dipping my toes in to resonators, I did not want to go full National Steel right away. Still, if you've owned enough guitars, you know stuff is good or bad right away. So far, so good. Something to be mindful of, there is a strap button at the butt-end of the body but there is no others strap button. To use a strap (which I do on all guitars, even seated), you have to have another button installed or get one of those 'folk guitar' straps that you use the button on the butt-end but have to tie on to the headstock. I am going to have a button installed on the heal of the neck joint.

Summary:
It does exactly what you want a resonator to do and it does it well. That about sums it up. I don't regret my purchase.

YEAH I got very own BLUESBAND C HARMONICA for about $8 with shipping! Arrived on time & very happy & pleased with this purchase. I highly recommend this C Harmonica for having a great grand time just blowing air into the square holes to make sweet sweet melody & music to your liking. I love the portability factor of the musical instrument Harmonica. I just like free style improve Jazz style.

I bought it used from Amazon. $145 and it came with a VERY nice hard case. Its PERFECT! Not even a smudge anywhere on anything.  I pulled it out and it sounded so good I could not believe my ears. Got chills. What a beauty. Having a hard time with different strings though. I "Just" ordered the original Fender dura-tone .12-.53 coated lights. I tryed MANY kinds of strings. I wish I could buy an $800 Fender... must REALLY sound nice. The Fender CD-60 "sings" on its own with the right strings. I also just ordered Elixir .12-.53s Nanowweb lights to retry. I tryed the "custom lights" .11-..52s but found them to be to soft and not strong in sound loudness/power. Stick with .12-.53 lights in any brand, Also, Elixir are way too slippery and if the Fenders don't work out for me I'll stick with the Elixir's. They like to slide out from under your fingers though. Well OK, Good luck

Sound is good.  However in contrast to other harps (same key of c) the Seydel Sessions is not very responsive.  I will not purchase another for that reason.  I wanted to compare the Seydel to the Hohner and I am much happier with the Hohner harmonicas.

This is a great instrument, and definitely worth the price to me.

I'd considered a Hohner (much cheaper), but the reviews were almost completely negative in terms of how long it stayed tuned (not long) and the overall sound quality (not that great). This was a suggestion from a reviewer there, and I am not disappointed at all.

I'm not a professional musician, but I have been playing music all my life. I started with the piano, and I think anyone who likes and is good at the piano will enjoy this. The sound is really unusual but pleasant. It's a lot like a harmonica or an accordion, and with good breath control you can really add a lot of feeling to the music using volume changes.

I've had it for a little over a month now and have played it pretty extensively. It has not lost any tune so far, and it's very sturdy.

I highly recommend buying a second tube assembly, though. Not because the one it comes with isn't sturdy, but because a secondary tube comes with the more pipe-like mouthpiece which I really like. Also, having extra mouthpieces is handy when people want to try out the instrument.

I really love the sound of a tremolo harmonica.  The dual tones on each note complement many different genres of music.  Although most people usually associate the tremolo with folk and country tunes I enjoy the haunting sound that it produces when playing many different types of contemporary compositions.

My first tremolo was the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hohner-Echo-Celeste/dp/B000BKQX3M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hohner Echo Celeste</a>.  I thought that it was it great value and a very decent harp but it made me want more. I wanted a tremolo harmonica that was tighter and that had less air loss.  The Suzuki Humming is very well built, has a solid feel, and takes less air to produce the same volume as the Hohner.  The sound is so superior to the Hohner Echo that I wish that I had purchased this one first.  The Suzuki has 21 holes vs my 24 hole Hohner, but I can live with that.  I am very happy with this instrument and will by buying more in different keys.
