Hohner 560 special 20 harmonica,c Jun 01, 2010
This is a very good all around instrument with good sound, but not as warm as my 39 year old Hohner 365, which I still use.

Be prepared, to sing the blues. May 12, 2010
So, the products is awesome. Really lovely. Great for the money. Awesome to learn on. I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a girlfriend they care about.

See, I was dating this girl. We had been together for six years. She was the love of my life. The most important thing in the Universe to me. Anyway, I got this harmonica behind her back. I wanted to get good at it, then impress her. Well, that didn't last long. I popped it out and showed her what I had got and she loved it. In fact, we both got a little more into music because of it. Blues to be precise. What I had to be blue about back then.... I don't know. Not really anything.

We got in this rut where I was working and going to college every single day. I really didn't have any time. I'd play the harmonica on my security job, and was getting pretty good! Great product! I recommend youtube videos for lessons. Anyhow, my girlfriend had a lot of time on her hands, and not a lot of friends. I eventually convinced her to rekindle her relationship with an old girlfriend. They'd hit the bars on the weekends, and I stayed at work doing security.

My job relief thought I was insane. I explained to him though that six years was a long time, and I trusted her with my life. With everything. Even then, I knew I sounded incredibly naive. I was proud though. Proud of her. Proud of me. We were special. We were important. It was us, and THEN the world. Nothing comes between that.

Her blues thing got kind of important to her, but she never wanted me to come out with her. No big deal. She was with a bunch of girls, and I respected that space. A month later, she slept with a 30 year-old recovering meth addict blues band guy from one of the bars. She was 21. I was 22.

It hurt.

It still hurts. To fall asleep, I have to pass out. This means I stay up for days haunted by memory. Then I pass out for 10 hours of nightmares. She cheated on me July 4th of 2009. It's May 12th of 1010. I'm two months from the anniversary of that night. She's with a different guy now. I loved her. I say that every day. It's automatic now. A pout that escapes my thoughts, to my voice, every single day. It happens before I can realize I'm going to say something. I never realize I've said it, until it's past my lips. I loved her. I loved her.

I don't care who you are, what you do, or how important she says you are to her. A 30 year old hipster with a harmonica can make your girlfriend think you're holding her back from her life. You want to learn the blues? Go right ahead. Buy it. Just be prepared to sing em'.

Be prepared, to sing the blues.

special 20 harmonica Apr 09, 2010
This is with the manufacturer. I have 2 of these and one of the draw holes will not produce a sound in either one.

Sweet Harp! Mar 09, 2010
Ok, I'll admit I don't play this as much as I should (I'll even go weeks without touching it), but for the times I practice, it's very sweet sounding. It takes a little time to break it in so you can bend notes, but it's a great starter harp that goes easy on your wallet.

great deal, great harp Feb 23, 2010
I'm new to the whole harmonica thing. But this one seems to be popular and the price is about 1/2 what my local music store sells em for. I bought a CD and book from Borders that came with a harmonica... and after playing a bit, I can definitely tell the difference (and feel it too). I'm hoping to get good enough to lure mice away from my neighborhood, but so far I can only play the first part of the star wars theme and some jingle bells.
