 "love harmonicas..." 2009-08-24
By John Fell (pryor, oklahoma)
has a good sound for the price... of course harmonicas are pretty cheap but i would buy it again if needed a replacment...

 "OK toy, less good for serious learning" 2009-06-05
By PhilipOfOregon (Western North America)
I'm still learning. The 10 blow needed extra effort to sound; bending other notes takes some work. It's OK if you're honking through "Oh Susanna".



You can take it apart and adjust the reed gaps, but one cover screw was stripped & needed replacement.



If you really want to learn to play, you probably want to spend more & get something like a Hohner Special 20 or a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic.

 "Great tone and plays well!" 2010-01-09
By B. Paul
First of all, I would describe myself as an intermediate harp player. I am not a pro by any means, but I have played enough to know the difference between a good harp and a lemon!



I got this harp a few weeks ago, and have been playing it pretty hard since then. The tone of this harmonica is really great, especially on the low holes. It has a deep resonating sound, and is easy to play the bottom three holes. I have not had a problem bending on this harp, and it has been a joy to play overall. This Harmonica is part of the Hohner MS series, so the reedplates can be replaced. The harp is easy to disassemble and reassemble.



I do not have any cons with this harmonica. I will probably buy more keys of this harp, but here are a couple things that other people might not like about it:

1. It has a wood comb, which can swell over time due to moisture

2. the cover doesn't match up to the edges of the reedplate exactly (maybe 1/32 inch off) and is kind of sharp on the side which can be uncomfortable for your lips



That's about it, I would highly recommend this harp!

 "Wonderful instrument!" 2009-01-16
By Wood Wren (U.S.A.)
I am a relative beginner but have a number of instruments. This one is at the top of my list of the ones what brings particular joy to by horrid playing. Of course I found my range greatly increased with this harp and love the increased versatility. It is comfortable to hold and play, and when I am "on" it the sounds produced are true. I might add that the review here by chimera68 is excellent and I learned much from it. This is what reviews should be about. I wish I could write better and knew more about the subject than I do right now. Guess that is what learning is all about - huh. Anyway, I love my new harp and have already received much enjoyment from it.

 "Sharing info about the Koch Chromatic Harmonica" 2005-05-09
By chimera68 (St. Augustine, FL USA)
Howdy! As the owner of a Koch Chromatic harmonica, I thought I'd share some helpful information about this interesting musical instrument. This harmonica is a chromatic-style, with the slide button, which raises the pitch of the note one-half step upward. Any note you play will be raised one-half step when the button is pushed, whether you are blowing or drawing on that particular hole. This allows for chromatic playing, of a full octave of 12 notes. Now....the difference between a Koch Chromatic harmonica, and other models of Hohner Chromatic harmonicas is this....A Koch has its notes arranged in the same pattern as a standard 10 hole diatonic harmonica. If you are familiar with these, such as the Marine Band, the Special 20, and all other 10 hole diatonics, you will already know that holes 1, 2, and 3 are the low notes of an incomplete diatonic (7 note do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do) scale, and holes 4, 5, 6, 7, are a complete 7 note diatonic scale, and holes 8, 9, and 10 are the high notes of another incomplete scale. This note arrangement is called the Richter System of tuning and has been in use since harmonicas were invented in the 1800's. It has that traditional sound and allows for the "oom-pah" vintage style of playing with chords accompanying the melody notes of the song, as well as the later style of bending notes as used for the blues and country music. So really what a Koch Chromatic is, is two diatonic harmonicas combined into one, if the one you buy is in the key of "C", then you will actually have two harmonicas, one in "C" and one in "C sharp", or also called "D flat" not meaning to be confusing. You will be able to play one whole complete chromatic octave of 12 notes on holes 4, 5, 6, and 7. But, you still will not be able to achieve complete chromatic octaves on the lower 3 holes or the upper 3 holes, simply because all the notes required aren't there.

Having told you all this now, you also need to know that if the brand new Koch Chromatics sound as good as the one I own, which is at least 50 years old and has certainly seen its days, this may be your absolute favorite harmonica! Koch was a seperate company and had its own line of harmonicas, such as the La Preciosa, and was bought out by Hohner who took over their trademark names and model line. The Koch Chromatic is, I believe, the only one still being made under that name now.

This harmonica also does not have the little paper "windsavers" or "valves" glued over the reeds like most other Hohner Chromatics have. This will allow you to bend and wail notes much easier, and you won't hear that annoying clicking sound of the valves slapping back and forth as you play. That bugs me, I don't know if anybody else notices that or not....but always remember, if you love your harmonica, you will NOT SOAK IT, because that ruins it, and also remember to wipe it off after playing it so the finish stays reasonably clean and shiny.

In closing, if this review psyches you up to buy a Koch Chromatic harmonica, I believe that you will be very pleased with it and will enjoy playing it everyday! Have fun and let the music begin!

 "The BEST sounding harmonica for the money" 2007-10-03
By Gerard J. Remillard
I own mostly Lee Oscar Harmonicas (only because that is what my local music store carries). But the Hohner Big River Harmonica is the BEST sounding harmonica your money can buy. Hohner knows how to make a nice sounding, quality harmonicas. They have been making harmonicas OVER 180 years. This is a cheap harmonica that plays well.



I tested a Lee Oscar and a Big River Harmonica with a harmonica blower at Elderly's Music and both sounded great and sounded very similar. I couldn't tell the difference between them. Both Lee Oscar and Hohner Big River harmonicas use replaceable reed plates which save you money.



Lee Oscar Harmonicas are also great sounding harmonicas but it is the most expensive harmonica on the market. Many famous harmonica players use the Hohner Big River Harmonica. What does that tell you? The Big River is a great playing harmonica at a low price. What more could you ask for?

 "Awsome Price, Awesome Value" 2007-02-14
By DTM (Harrison, New York United States)
This was my first harmonica and it still is working great. It is a very low price for such a great sound, and, it is made by Hohner in Germany, not in China. Yes, bending the notes can be hard sometimes, but once you get the hang of it you can do it on almost any harmonica. Overall, really good. I recomend it fully.
