Lee Oskar Major Diatonic F

Got a few of these harmonicas now and although they can be relatively pricey they play and sound fantastic. The tone is clear, sweet and true. They sound great whether you are a blues player, rock n roller or a pop/rock player. When I first started using them my brother asked me if I had been taking lessons, I hadn't, they just sound better than most of the other harmonicas I had been playing. They are also really well made, I believe that all the parts are replaceable and for the money you won't get a better sounding or playing harp.

I have a few of these harps now and am really pleased with the sound and build quality. I started buying them a few years ago after learning Norton Buffalo uses them even though an old harp player I knew scoffed at the plastic reed plates (he swore by Hohners). But they sound great. I like this particular key for the "high and lonesome" sound it makes. It reminds me a lot of Jimmy Reed although I'm not sure he played a lot in the key of C (F diatonic=C blues).

Lee Oskar harmonicas are reliably good, I am gradually replacing all my old harps with Lee Oskar ones.
