I was looking through Musicians Friend the other day and I saw 2 different harmonica packs. They were both the 7 natural keys in a case for $19.99. One was made by Kay and the other was made by Piedmont Blues. I was wondering if anyone has played these harmonica or if anyone knows anything about them. I realize that you get what you pay for, so im not sure about the quality of the harmonicas. I have been playing the harmonica for a year or two and I have a few other good harps like a Special 20 and a few Marine Bands, but I was thinking about getting these harps just to mess around on. Is it worth it? Thanks a lot

There is one good argument for getting the set for $19.99, you can always give them away to friends interested in harmonica and you aren't out much dough if you do so. If they get hooked, recommend they pick up a Lee Oskar in "C" and join the site. Hohner Special 20's play great, but just don't last. Marine Bands flat out leak too much air to be consistent for anyone seriously learning and trying to improve (especially if you are learning to bend).

Also, one Forum post is enough. All the folks that regularly answer the posts (like myself) check all Forums so your posts won't missed regardless of which Forum it ends up in.

Play on,

Sure you get what you pay for, and the Piedmonts will probably break quick... but you don't need to hurt yourself or waste your money. Piedmont all the way.
