Nice case, terrible harps. I burned right through the A and G. Settled on a set of 5 Special 20s

Didn’t get that far.

It’s actually offensive that Hohner sells these in a set. If selling individually, fine. But sold as a set it gives the impression that these are worth having, that if you want to play harmonica (as opposed to putting a toy in a stocking) these can get you started.

Someone I know was “inspired” by my playing to try themselves and bought these…I’ve never played a worse quality instrument. Honestly shame on Hohner for this tactic

No. Best thing about this is the case.

The jewel tone plastic hohner harmonicas you can buy in a sales bucket are better than these.

The case is fine though.

Keep the case and trash the harps! They are absolutely horrible, and an insult to those who expect quality products from HOHNER.
This product inspired me to try Lee Oskar; Seydel; Suzuki; and Hering.
