Hohner's Best

Great resonance. Good volume on the draw notes. Best harp for both single bends and double bends that I've ever had. If you're just taking up blues harp and have been getting discouraged about your ability to bend notes--don't give up until you've tried a Golden Melody!!!

Great Straight or bending the Blues

I have been playing harp since 1975 and have gone through a ton of harps. None that I have played stand up or hold their tone like a Golden Melody. I play a lot of Blues but also quite a bit of melody and the harp has never let me down. I just need to get the sharp and flats now to have a complete set. These harps have played all over the world and are currently doing duty in Korea.

This harp sounds great, it's comfortable to grip, and it is priced right. It is tight and it doesn't catch my whiskers as much as other harps. I'd recommend this harp highly.

I got started with a cheap harmonica with a small history book I bought in a book store. The harmonica was very difficult to play but the book motivated me. So I bought The golden melody 542/20 here in last september. The single notes are easy to get and the reeds were fantastic for bending. I like it.
