Too early to give a definitive product review. I'm getting to grips with the new tuning but it sounds cool straight from the box.

I am not an experienced harmonica player but was looking for a specific harmonica part in d minor for a track that I am working on. I already have a hohner 1896 in e natural minor so I was already aware of the quality. I found them both to be excellent, perfect for blues harmionica
