The Hohner Piedmont Blues set with case presents the
beginning harmonica
player with an affordable way to sample playing in seven
different keys (G, A, Bb, C, D, E, F). Each of the seven
diatonic harmonicas has
a matte black finish with gold trim and the entire set
comes in the (pictured above) zippered case. Packaging
includes
a cardboard
sleeve with printed instructions and a key chart to get
you started. The case size is: 5.5"W x 2.75"H x 9.5"D.
Our Thoughts: Make no mistake, these are very low
quality harmonicas and are not recommended for any serious
beginner. The fact that the you get a nice 7-harmonica
Hohner case and harmonicas in numerous popular keys
makes this a good deal. If you are a beginner, be sure
to also pick up a quality diatonic harmonica in the key
of "C" like the Lee Oskar Major or the Hohner Special 20
(links below). You will instantly notice the difference
when comparing the cheaper and better quality "C"
diatonics side-by-side.
Trying to learn to play exclusively on poor quality
instruments makes your job considerably more difficult.
As your harmonica playing skills increase and you need
better quality harmonicas in these other keys, you can
replace them and continue to use the case. (Instead of
tossing the old harmonicas, sanitize them and give them
to a kid to toot on.)
