From an experienced harmonica player
First off, I'm not a beginner, nor did I buy this for a child. I have been playing harmonica off and on for 30 years. I play a lot of blues and classic rock and country, and use draw and blow bends regularly in my playing, although I'm a bit old school so I'm afraid I don't mess with overblows much. I'm directing this review to harmonica players who understand what I'm saying. Sorry for the attitude, but as an experienced player it's annoying to consider a budget price harmonica and see the reviews flooded with people who either don't know enough about harmonicas to know a good one from a bad one or got it as a noise maker for their grandkids and could care less!I play Marine Bands and Special 20s mostly. Needed a Bb for one or two songs and didn't want to sink $40 into a Hohner so decided to give this a try. I wasn't disappointed! I was amazed at how it played out of the box. Thought I might have to fool with the reeds but every hole was good on bend and draw. Tried to stick to soft playing at first to break it in easy but couldn't resist bending and it was easier and more responsive than my last Special 20! The tone is a little brighter, and maybe thinner, but not to the extent that most non players will notice. Heck, even the case was great: solid sturdy plastic with a nice felt lining to keep the harp from rattling around, unlike Hohner's! The tone is in the ballpark and the playability is great enough that I'm thinking about buying a set of 7 to retune to Paddy Richter.Now, if you ARE a parent or grandparent buying a noise maker for a 5 year old, you can probably get a colorful plastic harmonica that can annoy every one around your kid just as well as this one can, and cheaper. But as a parent and teacher myself, I would recommend this one if you have an older child that is truly interested in learning. It's cheap enough that if it gets lost or they lose interest it's no big deal, but won't frustrate them by holding them back. A few notes to help you get started1. If you can't get a sound out a few holes (especially when you draw-breath in-on the second hole) your harmonica is probably not broken. There are some holes that are tough for beginners. Try using less air. If your child is frustrated, recommend that they "sip" like drinking very, very slowly through a straw.2. 'C' is the traditional key to start in because it's not to high or low pitched and is relatively easy for most people to learn intermediate techniques like note bending.3. Youtube is a great resource for lessons and most harmonica videos are made by great people who keep it PG but I'm a teacher so can't help but say: please preview anything your kids watch yourself first if at all possible. Y'all know that already, but I can't help it.4. These are reasonably cheap, so how about getting two and learning with your child? I bet you're stressed out too these days, and music is a great way to unwind and share time with your family. Off your devices and screens, face to face. We all need more of that.

A quality Instrument
I am a harmonica player. I've tried several harmonicas from my wholesale suppliers. This one is the best one I've seen and used for the price. It compares with several of the more expensive harmonicas. Easy to blow and doesn't require a lot of air. I like that they are available in all the main keys. The only problem I had was opening the case. You have to push hard on the bar for it to open. I highly recommend this harmonica.
