About the Hohner Golden Melody Harmonica
Smooth, rounded corners fit nicely into the palm of your hand as you play this harmonica, the favorite of great harpists such as Pierre Lacocque (Mississippi Heat) and Carlos Del Junco. This unique design coupled with an air tight, dark red, plastic body sets this 10-hole instrument apart. The Golden Melody has equal temperament tuning for melody playing, which makes it a natural for Country Music, but it can still bring down the house on blues and rock numbers. All major keys available.
Hohner Golden Melody Harmonica Reviews
I have read a lot of reviews about this harmonica, and I know that Howard Levy plays them almost exclusively, and he is awsome. So, I thought I'd pick one up, see for myself. The tone quality is not as good as I expected, but the thing that bugs me most and the reason for my low ratings, is that the reed plates protrude beyond the holes and comb. After playing it for only about 30 minutes my lips already feel sore and I'm sure it would cause severe chapping without some lip treatment. Also, the fact that the reed plates sticks out makes it more difficult (for me anyway) to form my mouth and lips properly to get good single note action. If I try to use tongue blocking my tongue then gets a bit sore. I don't know -- a lot of people swear by this harp and I won't doubt their testimony, but for me it just is not working and I'll have to give it to someone, I doubt the store will give me a refund once I've played it. As for total quality, it is well made -- just the tone and reed plate thing are downers.
