 "great harmonica, not gold in color" 2009-05-24
By Adrienne Miller (Dublin, CA)
I bought this for my wife who's just taken up playing the harmonica and needed an upgrade from the $10 cheapo I had laying around. This one is a huge improvement and plays very, very well. The notes are louder and cleaner and it's all around easier to play.



The only negative is that contrary to the picture, the harmonica itself is not gold in color. It's silver and red.

 "Sweet Singing Tones and Airtight Construction" 2007-01-07
By Drew A. G. Engman (Pinon Hills, CA USA)
I've been playing Hohner Marine Band "harps" (harmonicas in the 'cool' vernacular)since I was about 10. I've tried several different kinds of harmonicas over the years, but never the Golden Melody.



I immediately loved this harmonica: the fine contruction, the great shape that moved across the lips so well, the ease of producing hand vibrato, and the sound-very sweet, but it can burn up some blues as well. The reeds were a little stiff to bend, but it loosens up with use and gets better as you get used to it (like just about everything).



Buy one and try it, you will not be dissapointed, and it adds a neat new sound to my assortment of harps in all the keys.

 "Great Sound, Great Harmonica" 2009-08-21
By S. Pritchard (North Carolina, USA)
I recently pulled out my 20+ year old Special 20 Harmonica and tried to play some songs for the kids. I found I was having a lot of trouble getting decent sound out of the high draw notes (7-10 draw). I eventually concluded the old harp was worn out and decided to replace it. I chose the Golden Melody Harmonica because I mainly play melodies of folk songs or kids songs.



The new harmonica arrived today and I couldn't be happier. The sound was clean and sweet. I had no problem hitting any of the blow or draw notes. I also noticed this harmonica didn't require quite as much air pressure to get a decent note out. I highly recommend this harmonica.



By the way, I tried a few blues riffs and bending some notes and that worked fine as well. Not something I do much of anymore, but I was curious how this would compare in that area to a Special 20. It did just fine.

 "Comfortable, air tight, and rich sounding" 2009-06-11
By M. Mason (Alaska USA)
I have played the Golden Melody since 2006. I have played several other harmonicas prior to that, but Hohner Golden Melody is by far the MOST comfortable. The Marine Band harmonicas sound good but have sharp corners that can irritate your hands and make it more difficult to get a good seal around the instrument. This harp is comfortable in both the hands and the mouth. This harp is also VERY tight; meaning the reed covers are snug against the reed plates with no gaps for air to escape. The plastic comb will not warp as will wooden combs (e.g. Hohner Blues Harp Harmonica, Key of C); therefore, these harmonicas stay air tight. The less air that escapes--the less effort it takes for you to get a loud, rich tone. These harmonicas are loud, comfortable, and very responsive to your breathing. I used to play the Hohner Blues Harp but the wooden comb warped over time and caused air leaks. I have also found it easy to bend the notes (in Blues style) on the Golden Melody. Due to the comfort and the efficiency of airflow caused by a plastic comb and tight reed covers, I think this is the BEST choice for a "first harmonica" for beginners. They are comfortable and easy to play. Some professionals (e.g. Jason Ricci) played Golden Melody harps. Although Jason Ricci plays customized harps now, he states that he had played Golden Melody harps for quite awhile. That should be considered a good testimony to the quality of these instruments.

 "Limited knowledge, but this one works for me." 2008-12-26
By Wood Wren (U.S.A.)
Being something of a beginner, I cannot use the technical terms many reviewers here can, only give my impressions and experiences. I have several different harps which I use in my learning process, but find myself using this one more often than not. The Key of C seems to sound better and with the book I have seem geared toward this key. I like the rounded edges of this harm; they are more comfortable. The instrument is quite easy to hold (I have small hands) and hitting single notes seems to be easier with this one. I like the sound of this harp. I have little musical talent and need all the help I can get. I carry this one with me. It does have plastic edges and I suppose the wood is better, but I really have no complaints in this area. I can only speak as a beginner, and as a beginner, I do recommend this one. Perhaps those with more experience can make better recommendations and give advice that I do not yet have access to.

 "4 star harp" 2007-06-13
By Live to play harp (Moorhead, Mn. USA)
The golden melody is a nice harp though I prefer the delta frost by bushman it has a better sound and only cost about five dollars more.

 "Nice harmonica, but i can't play it." 2007-05-25
By Andrew Tane (Toronto, ON Canada)
This is a nicely built harmonica, easy to play and notes bend easily. However, because of the exposed brass strips above and below the holes along with the stainless steel metal covers, there is a strong bi-metal/galvanic effect. I have a silver filling in the back of one of my front teeth which hurts whenever I play this harmonica. My wife can play it without any problems and just looks at me weird when I describe the problem, but she's only got one or two silver fillings in her back molars. I don't recommend this harmonica to anyone who has silver fillings in the front teeth simply due to the galvanic effect.



Otherwise, this harmonica has a beautiful sound, and is comfortable to hold and play.

 "Even better" 2007-01-12
By CPM (Vinton, VA)
Still just a novice, but bought this more expensive model by looking at the reviews.

WOW, what a nice sound, and still a great price.

I find hitting single notes easier on my Hohner 81 Pocket Pal (still entry level skills), but if I want to sound better than I am, and I'm playing chords, I go for the Golden.
