I normally play Suzuki Manji harmonicas, they are extremely bright and responsive and because of their chrome cover plates allow you to play fast and the instrument moves easily in your mouth.
I purchased the Suzuki Olives as a lower cost option and trial as they appear to use the same reed plates as the Manji and actually looks pretty cool with the dark green cover plates but that's where the problem lies.
They do not sound as good because they are more closed in and the green covering does not allow fast and easy movement in your mouth and almost sticks to my lips.
Would I buy them again ? - Probably not unless using them as donor harps for their reed plates.
