They brake easy
I have played this brand of harmonicas for 3 years. AND THEY BRAKE FAST. Some people say it's the SPEACIL 20's that brake fast. BUT!!! What about these.I go through 6-7 of the LEE OSKERS a year. Play a couple hours a day.They have a problem of GOING SILENT ( reeds sticking ), during playing after about 1 month.BUT YOU CAN GET REAL "GRITTY,GRINDING BLUES" on the low # holes. COMPARED with deep sounding on the SPEACIL 20's, which are more MELLOW. BOTH ARE GOOD, but if your harmonicas are lasting longer than 3 months. I Know,which ever brand your playing, that YOUR NOT PLAYING them. Three months is the max,and buy another.

THEY SAY THERE THE BEST.......????????????
I have know idea , how everybody says these last a long time. I've, played them for 2 years ( 1 hour a day ), and you can count on them brakeing in 2 months. That is normal. A band player has to go through these things like crazy. They do sound good for a while, BUT...after a couple of weeks the 5 hole and up....sound very SQUEEKY, High pitch tin sound. It is true SPEACIL 20's sound warmer.Also the BLOW REEDS tend to brake , way more than the in-hale reeds. One thing , I can promise you is this....THE #2 HOLE WILL NEVER WORK on the LEE OSKER, they do on the SPEACIL 20's. My speacil 20's have lasted longer then LEE OSKAR ( same key c). BUT after 2 years of practice and playing, I promise you that LEE OSKAR is LIEING when they say the #2 holes won't work, because of unskilled players. It's a lie. Speacil 20's work fine. LEE OSKERS company just needs to remove the RE-INFORCED REED in the #2 hole. ALSO !!! LEE OSKER...you need to make a harmonica with RICHTER TUNEING to go along with your EQUAL TEMPERMENT TUNEING harmonicas. SO we have a choice.

The best there is-end of story.
This harp is the best I've ever played-period. I've been playing harps for 20 years, since I picked up my first Koch in Music Plus (a long gone store) at the local mall. I've been through several Hohners, ranging in price from $10 to $60, but none of them compare to this. I have been able to bend incredibly well on this harp, and I have even been able to play the Beatles' Love me Do and Black Sabbath's The Wizard on this harp much more easily than on any of the Hohners. I like the C so much I have added a G, an A, and a Bb to my collection, and will add more keys as the store carries them. It's a hoot to bend on different harps, and to play different types of music along with the blues I usually play. Granted, each individual player has a specific harp that is special to him or her, but my "special harp" is this one. Some may prefer Hohners or other brands, but this one suits my playing best.
Try and Enjoy!

Harmonica
Very simple instrument with very limited note capability. Recommend those interested in playing the harmonica buy an instrument with more note playing capability.
