This is a great harmonica, and even for a beginner who is learning to bend, I haven't broken it in months. Obviously this is not the "Ferrari" of harmonicas (I've heard that about the new Suzukis) but it is one of the best.

Hohner Marine Band, Hohner Special 20 and Lee Oskar Major Diatonic harps fit well in this case. Hohner's Big River Harp does NOT fit properly in the case - it is longer than the others, and doesn't snug in. I'll either return the case or order two Lee Oskars to replace my two Big River models. Or, I can just deal with the fact that they don't fit quite properly, but probably "good enough". Decisions, decisions.
Haven't played the toy harps yet, first things first. I bought the case for the case, not for the included harps.
I am a beginner and this harmonica works great for me!
It has very rich notes even though it is quite small and is only a few dollars.
It comes with a two-peice, hard plastic case and basic instructions showing how to hold it and play the notes. You can also find free tips and instructions on the internet telling how to play and care for your harmonica.
I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants to try out the harmonica.

First of all, i am a new harp player. This is my second harp, my first was a very cheap china harp that was very hard to play. This harp sound very nice is easy to play and it cost almost nothing. I recomend 100%. It is a very good deal. I bought it from the instrument store, here in amazon.

I purchased this harmonica after much research, and, initially, was very pleased with it. However about two months into playing it, the "D" note went flat. I was quite frustrated, and even more so to find out that Amazon offers no recourse. One can neither return this item nor replace it after 30 days, esp. if it's been used. From what I understand Amazon offers no warranty re: defective products.
I bought this case because I wanted to be able to put the harmonica in my pocket and not have it get banged up on my car keys or cell phone. The standard plastic cases that come with harmonicas are too fat and hard to be comfortable in a pocket.
This is a well made case with a good zipper and padding, but it is about 50% too long for a Horner Special 20 or similar 10 hole diatonic harmonica. It is obviously made with "one size fits all" in mind. As such, it is bulkier than I wanted, but still usable.

This is the third type I have purchased so far, the other two being the Hohner Special 20's and Lee Oskar Major Diatonic. As far as quality, warmth, looks, and appeal, this harmonica beats them all hands down in every category! My favorite thing about this harmonica is the classic wooden comb, giving it a much more rich, folky, Bob Dylan-esque tone (which is what I was going for). I find bending and overblowing much easier on this harmonica as well although that is not what I bought this harmonica for.
There is a reason that this is the most storied and popular harmonica of all time. It truly has made me a believer. As for some future purchases to look into, if this is indeed the type of harmonica you are looking for, check out the new line of ... Read More:
