Chromatic Harmonica

I received my Harmo Angel 16 Chromatic Harmonica today and I was expecting a nice instrument- it was a lot more than nice! Oh my goodness...the sound, the full and rich tones and the quality workmanship are of the highest standards. This is simply a beautiful instrument and not a toy. You would not hesitate to use this harmonica if you performed or were asked to perform with a band or solo- any professional player would be proud to own one. I had a chromatic harmonica in my teens (I'm over 70 now... sigh!) and for the past few years have only owned diatonic harmonicas so I was expecting there would be somewhat of a huge learning curve but, I picked it up and started playing "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (credit Procol Harum). I need a bit of practice but it was not as difficult as I thought it would be after so many years with strictly diatonic harps. If you're in the market for a chromatic harmonica but you're not sure which brand or product name will give you the most bang for the buck, don't hesitate- buy the Harmo Angel 16. You'll love it like I do.

I"m new to chromatic harp, but this thing looks great in person, sounds good and all the notes play nice

Sound quality is good. Slider is working as mentioned. Need to reduce the harmonica weight.

Returned another brand of 16-hole harmonica and purchased this (cost about $ 50 more) but happy with this purchase except for the case: - Case was in two pieces (top & bottom), & several family members were unable to 'snap" the top & bottom together at the hinge.. Contacted vendor who advised to 'keep trying" to put the two pieces together at the hinge. After several unsuccessful attempts was going to contact seller again when another offered the novel idea to use a hair dryer to heat up the plastic 'hinge parts"; after Multiple attempts and Much Effort finally got the top and bottom to "snap-in-together" at the hinge by someone with Strong fingers. - Overall good harp for the price, nice tone and chromatic button. Some claim the chromatic part (pushing the button in to get a half-tone higher or a 'sharp") might be a tad challenging for some, but think the sequential scale (starting at the C Below middle C) is easier to comprehend than the (non-sequential) scale on a typical10-hole diatonic harmonica. Chromatic button smooth, easy to use. Good low tones. Be aware: heavier than typical10-note diatonic harmonica, but the low tones, ability to do half-tone (sharps) & 4-octaves are worth the add'l weight. (Not experienced harmonica player, experience with other instruments.)

It was delivered very quickly. However, the case did not close at all. The lower octave on the instrument itself is very stuffy. I am accustomed to playing my Suzuki SCX 64 so it may not be a fair comparison. I am giving it one less star for the worthless case and one less star for the lower octave.

Ive been causally playing the harmonica for a few months now and Ive been wanting to upgrade to something better and I found this harmonics. I really like that it is developed by a professional harmonica player, it gives it a special limited feeling. The harmonica is very well built and the sound is very nice. The weight is good, it feels solid and heavy but in a good way, I could easily play for long periods at a time. The case it comes in isn’t as nice as I would’ve liked it to be but it still a nice case. Despite the very shiny polish it is still very resistant to fingerprints. For the price it’s hard to go wrong with this purchase.

Nice harp. As advertise. Fast delivery.

The Harmonica was a gift for my father I gave it to him this Christmas he loved it he said to me that it was the best gift he ever received I was glad to hear that, My Dad has been playing the harmonica since my childhood, on one side the sound is high and on the other is low but it sounds really nice.

some holes, mainly # 7, sound as they are partly blocked when blowing out, because if I try to play softly, no sound comes out. It's fine if I blow hard, but sometimes it would be nice to play at a low volume. Besides that, it's ok and I have been having as lot of fun.
