Harley Benton Blues Harmonica in F-Major

I play a lot of sessions, & do a lot of live work. I use these harps as an everyday instrument, playing both blues cross harp, or as a first position instrument. I sometimes play guitar & bass with these harps on a rack; as this type of use involves more spit than subtlety, I have worn out my more expensive Lee Oskar models, which I now use for session or solo work only. These harps are the budget fall back. Loud, with soul, well made, they compare extremely well with classic expensive brands. I spent time & money on other budget brands until finding these, which are a cracking standby, & have been fairly rugged & well made for the abuse I give them. I would recommend these for use as above as a cracking day to day harp, & would offer an encouraging quality in sound to the beginner too. My recommended choice of budget harmonica. Excellent value for money.

I came back to replace my rating because i had try only the G key of this harmonica and it was very good for its price. But in key of F is very very bad. It is almost not working. I have to blow or drow with a huge machine at the holes from 6 to 10 to take a sound. Only the 2-3-4-5 holew and only in blow give a good sounnd. I opened it and i tryed to fix it but it didn't work. I opened olso the good harp of G key to take a look of the reeds and i noticed that the reeds of the two harmonicas are from a different metal material. I think that with all harley benton products maybe you are lucky and maybe you are unlucky. There might be a chance to buy a new harley benton harp in key of F and will be good, but i won't try. I don;t like to spent my money in luck. Sorry for my bad english.
